This is truely a cool idea, not maybe the safest in the sense of all that fuel strapped to his body the way he did but cool none the less. I used to fly skydivers for a living and can tell you that they [ skydivers ]are a unique bunch. This fellow is also using some addition hardware [ actually its soft ware (cloth) but.. who's counting] called a bird suit. The bird suite fill's w/ ram air pressure and creats a type of wing between his legs and under his arms. This gives him more surface area to enable him to create enough lift.. to remain level. At the end he talks about staying level at 2000m while his engines are running so.. he's succeeded in being the first actual flying superman type fella that I know of. Most bird men [bird suit] jumpers can get to almost level flight, I've heard of some getting enough forward speed to actually climb a bit but they soon run out of steam.. this helps in this issue. There was also a fella who flew across the English channel w/ a type of fiberglass wing strapped to his back [ w/in the last year or two]. But again.. this has to be the first 'engined' human I've heard of.
Lurk mode back on..
