Swiss daredevil Yves Rossy—or as he’s known, Fusionman—crossed the English Channel with a single jet-propelled wing strapped to his shoulders, reports the UK Times. Rossy began the trip by jumping from a plane 8,200 feet over Calais, France, then zoomed to Britain in less than 10 minutes at speeds of more than 100mph. He traced the route of the first plane to cross the Channel nearly 100 years ago before touching down safely in a field. He's the first to make the trip via jetpack.
