Technology today is awesome. 

So this swiss dude Yves Rossy is a pilot, inventor and daredevil. He created this Jet engine powered wing strapped to his back and he is also the first person to fly it (or dared to fly it). 

Today (Sept26th) the bugger leapt off the back of a transport airplane and flew across the english channel. He travels at speeds of up to 100knots. THats just crazy and totally amazing at the same time. Watch the video to fully appreciate. ha ha.
