Swiss professional pilot Yves Rossy, the world's first man to fly with fitted jet fuel powered wings strapped to his back, flies during his first official demonstration above the Swiss town of Bex on May 14, 2008. Calling himself 'FusionMan'. Rossy was released from a plane at an altitude of 2,438m and completed several loops at a speed of 300 km/h, using only his body to change position during a five minute flight over the Swiss Alps.
