Jet setter

1 month ago 29th Nov 13:15

A man has flown across the Grand Canyon wearing a jet pack.

Eric Scott, 45, covered the 1,500ft distance in just 21 seconds on Monday (24.11.08), flying at speeds of up to 75mph.

The brave stuntman strapped on the hydrogen peroxide-powered jet pack before soaring over the 1,100ft deep Royal Gorge - without a parachute.

Speaking after the stunt, Scott said: "I can't say enough about how good it is to be standing on terra firma. Concrete never felt so good."

I can't say enough about how good it is to be standing on terra firma. Concrete never felt so good.

The pack - designed by Jet Pack International, who Scott works for - is the latest design from the company and can only stay airborne for 30 seconds.
