Since the dawn of time, man has dreamed of flight. People tried jumping off cliffs in an attempt to fly, and, well, failed miserably. Icarus and his dad almost pulled it off - if only Icarus hadn't happened to burn the wax off his wings. The Wright Brothers got somehwere with the airplane, but you weren't free to fly where you pleased and nowadays you really can't feel the wind on your face. Even now, we have people who are still trying to fly without wings and clunky cockpits, but it never works out.

Well, one gutsy, and apparently rich, skydiver decided to have a go at flying without wings by strapping a pair of turbine engines to his boots. Lucky for us, there was video coverage, and the internet. Youtube has it all for us to gape at.
