Crazy Swiss jetpack man takes on Grand Canyon, and wins

Jeff Horwich May 13, 2011

Oh, Jetman (or “Fusionman,” which you prefer to be called, but which just seems like a bit much and a kind of off-the-point): We’re so glad the FAA saw the wisdom in allowing you to risk death for our amusement above one of our nation’s most spectacular national treasures. Your contraption is so silly and marvelous and garishly sponsored, and that looks like so much fun, that we will forgive you the god-awful music you lay underneath your video.

There’s a lot happening in the world.  Through it all, Marketplace is here for you. 

You rely on Marketplace to break down the world’s events and tell you how it affects you in a fact-based, approachable way. We rely on your financial support to keep making that possible. 

Your donation today powers the independent journalism that you rely on. For just $5/month, you can help sustain Marketplace so we can keep reporting on the things that matter to you.
