I saw this video and was truly inspired, this guy flies a jet engine strapped onto his back and literally allows him to FLY! Hey, those are the Swiss Alps… no problem!

What is this doing on this site?

Well, take a look at the guy flying, he is approaching 50 years old! Add this to the list of things you MUST do within your lifetime, sure makes keeping yourself in top shape throughout your lifetime worth it huh? Just think, each time to junk food, you are a dollar closer to affording this and your body will be in that much better shape to handle the g-forces! It’s a win / win no matter how you cut it! Health is about far more then just hitting the gym and eating… it’s about getting the most out of your body THROUGHOUT your life to experienced the most out of the gift of life that you where given.

JetCat Information

As the site is in German, I will translate some of the information for you! This jet pack is manufactured by JetCat Germany and they have extensive turbo-jet engine production experience. I noticed on the video that there where six jet packs (that I could see) on the wings so my guess is you wanted one of these babies, your looking at at least 15-25 thousand dollars US, that is, if they will sell you one.

The guy in the video

As Yves Rossy has a web site in French, I guess I need to translate that for you as well! Yves has extensive flying experience from being a co-pilot for Boeing 747 Swissair to flying over a thousand hours at Mach 2 in a military jet. He has over 1100 parachute, skysurfs and other drops using prototypes under his belt. He was born in 1959. Suffice it to say, he knows what he is doing and has trained his body to handle the stresses involved with flying a JetCat!

Would I do this

Absolutely! It would probably take a few months of training as you don’t want it to be a one way trip but being a pilot myself, this is the equivalent of driving a car vs riding a motorcycle but for the air.

The Bottom Line

You are never too old to dream but a neglected body cannot implement them.
