Yves Rossy, aka Fusionman and Jetman, flying in 2009

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – “Jetman” Yves Rossy, former Swiss military and commercial pilot, found himself in the water, uninjured, after failing to fly from Morocco to Spain. The 50-year-old was attempting to cross the Strait of Gibraltar with a jet engine strapped to his back, in a feat similar to his crossing of the English Channel in 2008. Details of what caused him to crash are not yet available.
