If you thought humans were not meant to fly, think again, for a Swiss pilot has just flown across the English Channel. What’s new, you may ask. Well, he did not pilot an aircraft over the channel but piloted his own body, in short, he just flew!

All he did was, he fired up his attached jets and flew after leaping from a plane at the height 8,800 feet and then flew across the channel. He reached the other side in less than fifteen minutes. Probably, humans can now dream about flying anywhere they want, if they just attach a few jet engines to their backs.

However, I’m concerned over safety issues and also the legality of flying with jets strapped to the backs. This may mean anybody can just fly across prohibited areas and gain access to places they shouldn’t be going.
