Jet man fails to fly the Strait of Gibraltar – should of chosen a hot air balloon!

A Swiss man has failed in his attempt to become the first person to fly solo across the Strait of Gibraltar using a single jet-propelled wing. Yves Rossy, known as Jetman, ditched in the water and was rescued minutes after setting off from above Morocco. Organisers said he had deployed his parachute after the wing malfunctioned, possibly owing to engine failure. Rossy became the first person to cross the Channel using a jet-powered wing in September 2008.

If you want to fly in complete safety and not reach earth by parachute, there is a much better way of doing this, arrange to fly in a Hot air Balloon from a locality that is close to you and at a time of that is convenient to you. Of course because hot air ballooning is weather dependant, no guarantee can be given as to the exact date, but it will be one that is convenient to you, call 0845 071 6388 now.
