Lets face it you've got to be a sandwich short of a picnic to do that. 4 jet engines going 189mph!!

Woah...seriously impressive stuff!
He seams to fly it as though it's actually a fighter jet, and I just can't get my head round the fact its just a wing strapped to his back.

That must take serious skill and more bottle than a soft drink factory!

He had a parachute. Switched off the engines and released the chute.
