100% Pure Adrenaline...shaka!

Jetpack man - to infinity and beyond!!Remember that scene in Point Break when Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) and Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) bonded during a skydiving mission?

We can only wonder what Bodhi and his gang of bank robbing bandits could have accomplished had they access to the gear showcased in this video.

On Saturday Swiss 'Jetman' Yves Rossy completed an eight-minute flight along the Grand Canyon in a DIY jetpack.

According to SwissInfo.ch, "Flying his jet-propelled wing attached to his back, and steering only by moving his body, Rossy launched from a helicopter at 2,440 metres above the the Grand Canyon...

Skimming the rockscape at speeds of up to 300 km per hour, Jetman sustained flight for more than eight minutes, 60 metres above the rim of Grand Canyon West before deploying his parachute and landing smoothly on the canyon floor."

It's a good thing his parachute opened, too, becuase there's no way Rosie was gonna let Tyler go if he didn't land safely...thank God for that!
