Swiss 'JetMan' Cancels Grand Canyon Flight

[BarryAir]

Bravo Jet dude.....you are a smart man....

[goodcat1982]

JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP! :)

[TheVictor6951]

Always listen to that little voice in your head,,it will save your life!!! It saved mine. Live to fly another day is the only way,

[fescolfaro]

To begin with, this man is no stuntman. He's one of the most complete aviators of our time, a swiss air force pilot turned inventor (yes, he designed the winged jetpack he uses) with enough cojones to fly his inventions himself.

[mhz23]

No shame Fusion Man, if you're not certain don't do it.

[ap0lmc]

Everyone has those days when they have a bad feeling and when you are doing such a dangerous stunt you need to be mentally and physically 100% or things could go bad. Better fly another day than to die today.

[sonfowler1127]

I want this video on my Memo unit.

[crazyrobotkiller]

My god people here are lowbrow- Fukn internet- what a pathetic waste.

[crazyrobotkiller]

Is this A- hole planning a terrorist attack? Sure as shit sounds like it- Three years and what? You are going to end the world? good luck. Dumbass. The world is pretty strong- If this pilot doesn't feel like doing something. Nobody is putting a gun to his head and making him.- The world does not exist to dance for your entertainment- What a useless Troll thing to say you dick-

[crazyrobotkiller]

My response is to Official Emir- Who has told me to kill myself-  Radsauce- Great way to start my morning- Thanks- Douchbag-

[crazyrobotkiller]

" @crazyrobotkiller oh shut up you whiney puss, death? is a joke were all dead anyways why not entertain those around you,and die doing what you love? i can assure you that death is a much better death than whats too come for most of us! -no troll just being real with you, enjoy this next year or three.-" Gee- Thanks OfficialEmir So what you are saying is this man should die for your entertainment? Go watch faces of death you psycho - What you said is criminal.

[TheDh0ffryn]

@crazyrobotkiller i agree with you mate, that fucknut "OfficialEmir" should set up a webcam to record him shooting himself as he hangs himself then automatically post it on the net! if he believes ppl should die for entertainment, then by all means that fuck knuckle can go 1st!

[MsAndres302]

se la pasaron todo el vídeo hablando mierda y no mostraron nada

[m355yas]

Amarelou?

[pacidessi]

I can only say, well done!

[sniffinclose]

Haha to all bs here... If this guy would have been from the US and have to proove he is a man, he would most likely be dead now. Luckily he is Swiss!

[023flyer]

What's the meaning of chicken out ???

Yves: " just say Knot ! "

[Akylification]

I could only understand that he couldn't sleep last night.

[janice268268]

Jetman... Do you think you are a selfish guy caring only your own dream? stop showing this dangerous stunt, do you care when the children learn your stunt and plunge out of their condominium wearing their cardboard wing!

[lolzoretwo]

@janice268268 Shut up, youre probably one of those stupid people that believe that playing violent games makes one violent. besides if you are only half the person I expect you to be, then youtube is off limits for your children anyway. Why not ask MTV to stop their show nitro circus while youre at it? if kids are dumb enough to try this shit they deserve to die, would probably rid us sane people of the MTV show 16 and pregnant.

[dougie350]

@crazyrobotkiller They have people check and double check equipment, theres no joke to that aspect. Let someone else do it, have a few people flying these things. Ridiculous when you have to depend on one person. He's not Evil Kenival or anything, two wheels and a harley engine tuned up, its an flight pack with jets and a freaking parachute Hes not winning when enough people dont show up?> uhh Move out the way, let someone else try, or is there really a saftey issue going on with the wing?

[joshua04nata]

aqui hay un problema en el diseño, se puede hacer mucho mejor 

[AustinKnightOwner]

All stunts are dangerous and carry with them a high price if something goes wrong. One should never take doing these kinds of stunts for granted. Ever!

[enarolloyd49g]

Your video is popular on Mexico City

[onetims]

laiers

[iDoorOfAwesome]

@CorvidBlight Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha that would so fun to do that!

[iamsonny7]

Flying over Grand Canyon with pockets of thin air is dangerous compare to flying crosssing the English Channel which he did last time. He did not sleep that night coz he was not sure if he will make it.

[rpfberkvens]

Courageous decision and the only right one. An example for other pilots. Though you're bold, you will grow old :-)

[PhantomMark]

Better to live in retrospect than to die in haste :)

[MrMrjorge13]

FUERA LOS ANUNCIOS

[jeetendrag10acc2]

a real hero does not try to impress. the fact he took a calm decision with sense makes the whole endeavour even more heroic. he is a cool headed explorer, not a cheap brainless adrenaline junkie. thumbs up mr Roissy.

[rcasoundhmv]

Really, you don't just bulldoze yourself into some dangerous stunts without knowing and have a good sense of your body. Good! Safety First, hero after. I am impressed.

[Spartan043]

Flying over a canyon with that thing could be dangerous. One thermal in the wrong spot and you could be sent tumbling to your doom. The human body is a horrible flight platform to begin with. Too much drag, and the center of gravity is iffy. That's why we have airplanes.

[LPtheDESTROYER]

Yea harden up mate, Dont be a fairy....



[HaiDoggie]

crazyrobotkiller

Actually, life's a laugh and death's a joke

as they say.

[mwillh]

Good point, he knows what he's doing and when not to do it...

[crazeeborg]

He made the right decision. Always follow ur gut instinct! Massive respect to Jetman. He is truly an inspiration.

[crazyskyaustria]

he is what i call a "real Pilot"!!! He knows what he´s doing!

[ShutterbugW]

every pilot has to ask himself. can he fly...Will he risk danger to him self or to others is he rested enough ?.the grand Canyon is a very tricky canyon to navigate. and if he is using a prototype then he judge correctly. every pilot knows safety first.

[EXMR84]

if you don't feel, not fly! it's the best think he could do! responsability and safety first

[djscotty1111]

Comment RE The 1st Poster Yves being a procrastinator.

Well you can always pay for YOUR OWN JET PACK & PROVE TO ALL OF US WHAT A 1ST POSTER YOU ARE !

[winterka100]

@6339akshay You are an idiot.

[CorvidBlight]

I'm going to steal his rocket pack, wait till October 31st and then scare the living shit out of people.

[TalentShowLIVE]

youtube/TalentShowLIVE

SUB!!!!!!!

[enos218]

Safety first

[rangeclerk]

WOW, Way Ultra-Cool!

[Minidude110]

i clicked here because the thumbnail looked epic

[fruchttragend]

@Minidude110 me too!!



[MATechz]

wow... that must be an amazing feeling!

[The1stPoster]

Typical swiss cheese. Always the procrastinator. Just like how they were in the war.

[JustComeAtMeBro]

Too bad he actually did do it. It's most viewed in news a politics.

[pindordan]

@crazyrobotkiller Wise response to cheap-funny affirmations! I totally agree.

[crazyrobotkiller]

I think people who get upset at stuntmen who play things safe need to consider it's really easy to talk alot of troll when it's not your life at stake- This guy could have his rig pop. A fuel leak. A chute fail. Yes. I am sure people double check. End of the day it's his life.- Not mine. Not yours. - What good does it to to stick to an arbitrary schedule to see a man die or get hurt. - Sorry. I feel the Bikini wax comment is disrespectful. Funny yes. But. It's disrespectful. - Death is no joke

[TheCrampz]

@crazyrobotkiller yet we laugh at the face of death every second of every day.

[Stud328]

@TheCrampz

I would have said that too, a few years ago. But then there was this one moment I really thought I would die within the next seconds, and I was fucking scared. There is no way to tell what you will feel like, until you get into this situation, I tell you its the most intense and sickest panic you can imagine, like a lever higher than fear.

One thing I know since then, we dont laugh at death, we try to suppress our death as hard and as long as we can.

This guy did the only right thing

[TheCrampz]

@Stud328 Well we as humans curious as we stand, tend to take for granite death, Hence the "laugh" part. And when we finally face it we fear it suppression becomes menial over time, but it still lurks with us every second of every day, and once again we take it for granite. if we took death seriously as when we first face it, we wouldn't be as we are today. the intense fear you talk about is an instinct we have developed, it makes us strive to live another day and face death once more.

[zurechtweiser]

@crazyrobotkiller death is very funny

[ocrim16]

@crazyrobotkiller

evry man goes his way lol other need adrenalin others not :P

[LZB1989G]

@crazyrobotkiller exactly.. well done !

[OfficialEmir]

@crazyrobotkiller oh shut up you whiney puss, death? is a joke were all dead anyways why not entertain those around you,and die doing what you love? i can assure you that death is a much better death than whats too come for most of us! -no troll just being real with you, enjoy this next year or three.

[MgpMontville]

@crazyrobotkiller AND he's doing stuff that most armchair wannabes could only dream of. He doesn't do it for the crowd, purely freedom. Kudos to the guy who knows the limits, it's insanely hard to say no but if more people did in the past there would be a lot more wonderful guys like Yves still with us!!!

[intrptr]

He sounds like Humungas: "Jis wok away, Jis wok away..."

[jt663]

pussy...

[BadSwineDOTcom]

@jt663 He did it yesterday dipshit. That video suggests this one...

[joniqitu]

he did it 

[rafagat80]

Pussy!

[Mccoins]

@rafagat80 He just did it today, retard.

[sexyfatbastid]

I'd rather he be safe,...& entertain me some other day,....

They just have to outfit that thing with a beak to protect the head, face & neck,..

& a couple of plastic "roll bars" attatched to that hollow beak,..going down both sides of the chest about a foot away from the entire body & stopping just past the knees,...& not re-attaching to the jet,...just sticking out there,...for extra bounce,..should he crash.

[magister9904]

here is the flight: n4CX-8Eo_6I

[magister9904]

He did it this morning

[arvydas0069]

do it pussy!

[petaunot]

@arvydas0069  LOL !

[Mccoins]

@arvydas0069 He did today you fucktard

[arvydas0069]

@Mccoins haha you took the bait.

[LosAngelasBasketball]

you can buy miniature jet engines online for a few thousand dollars...the harness and fiberglass wing are what you have to make....

[bahamaboy25]

THE SMARTEST WHITE DO I'VE EVER SEEN, HE LISTENS TO HIS BODY INSTEAD OF AMPPING HIMSELF UP IN FRONT OF A CROWD THAN JUMPS TO HIS DEATH..

[Necroman666]

@bahamaboy25 well said man

[GostosoSPbr]

@bahamaboy25 - Racist.

[bahamaboy25]

@GostosoSPbr takes one to know one

[mattmidlands]

blatantly bricked it

[jennam802000]

bummer was really wanting to see that!

[winterstellar]

What was the stunt, exactly what was he supposed to do?

[ru21yet]

I thought the Swiss were neutral not neutered

[GoddardsJournal]

He's not suicidal.

[treid100182]

ICE CUBE=

Corporate whore; embarrassment to the Black Community.

[arvydas0069]

@treid100182 everytime I see a rap video, most athletes speak, the tv show 'COPS'....I see embarrassments to the community

fuckin scary the role models they have

[mrteemumilto]

There is no such thing as a hunch.

Either the jetpack works or it doesn't. This is just engineering.

You may feel uncertain if you do not control the construction of the jetpack, but not your feeling is not a sign, you bloody superstitious moron.

[Colortiniz]

Does Breitling still pay him?

[CMAT17]

@trentWHY you do it then

[BertGriffin88]

Swiss Jetman, call your buds in Russia, you know the ones with the parasailing ass! They could give Jetman some aloft time to help him build some confidence. Whoosh! What's that? Works faster than Activia. Aw Jeese, Jetman you've just polluted the Grand Canyon. Aw man, Jetman's just Jet Streamed some very unflattering stuff across the Arizona skies. LameBrainedMcCain wants to see your papers. Jetman, what do you mean papers? It was a desparate situation & I had to use the paper available. Here!

[skeek00]

Better canceling than dead.

[barbelotta]

I like when i see ppl who stop projects because of the predictions.

Good job man for not faly, maybe u were dead right now.

[DJonelove]

I think this guy has a case of pussitis

[TheDragonsword123]

Fuckin badass iron man suit

[MrAvalanche2004]

Probably best you take some more training, we don't need to see the vid of you hitting the canyon walls.

[abo3isa]

safety comes first 

[sketchyj]

Can you imagine Evil Kineval showing up there and telling a crowd "sorry everybody, I couldn't sleep last night. I spent all night worrying that I need more training and today, well, I just chickened out. Thanks for coming out." ?

[bassthunder]

@sketchyj No, but Evil Kenevil maybe should have said something like that on a couple of occasions...

[sketchyj]

@bassthunder if he had you would be saying "who?" right now

[NB5BHVL]

@sketchyj Oh hell they would be pissed lol I know I would, Not sure if he's still alive or not but he's the man

[sketchyj]

@NB5BHVL I know Tony Stark wouldn't be giving these lame excuses either

[sketchyj]

@NB5BHVL Robert Craig Knievel, born in 1938, was nicknamed "Evil" by a jail guard, a name he later changed to "Evel" to avoid offending religious persons. Reputedly a bank robber and safe-cracker in his youth, Knievel began daredevil stunts in 1965 to call attention to his motorcycle dealership. He required a liver transplant (1999) to replace an organ ravaged by Hepatitis C, acquired from tainted blood received in one of his many surgeries. Fine condition.

[MrNo4skn]

@sketchyj lol

[sipsipboom15]

just another reason why the Swiss are cowards.

[checktheemails]

@SilverTminus10 chuck norris doesn't need bottle rockets

[nellie2581]

He visited Indian country

[nellie2581]

Great

[lpc315]

This man is actually bin laden/obamas right hand man, and when obama takes over the....... Universe..... E will live forever in his doom castle on pluto with fema and the homosexuals. It is the truth laid out by me!

[MrNo4skn]

@lpc315 lmao

[john123wayne]

this guy made a fool of himself. he says he will and then says he needs more training. i have an idea....be prepared beyond a shadow of a doubt AND THEN ANNOUNCE YOUR GREAT PLAN. i smell amateur and i smell attention whore.

[ramG35]

@john123wayne lets see you do what he is attempting.

[Mendelevium146]

rocket man!

[JogBird]

French.. what do you expect

[mailmeonline]

@JogBird swiss you dumb fuck, people speak german, french, italian, and rumanch in switzerland + it's in the title

[MrCman404]

@JogBird hes swiss ya dumb bitch

[thecoolmex]

@JogBird wow, seriously

[babaloo42]

Yeah I know how he feels. I had to cancel my bikini wax today. I just had a bad feeling.

[NB5BHVL]

@babaloo42 lmao

[NB5BHVL]

Last time I saw someone try to jump over the Grand Canyon is when Evil Knievel tried going over Snake River in that rocket that was built for him

[babaloo42]

@NB5BHVL yes and his parachute didn't open or open in time and he hit HARD.

[j00jy]

@babaloo42 Herpes flared up again?

[TehVag]

@babaloo42 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah­ahahaa

[MrPp67]

wat a pussy

[Humberto4790]

@MrPp67 Let's see you do it.

[MrPp67]

@Humberto4790 do u have a jet pack for me

[manumanu83]

@MrPp67 I got a jet pack, i'll pay you the flight here to canary islands, but you have to use it.

Will be nice film your death "live".

[Peter4101]

@Humberto4790 I'll do it. >:D You know being a pilot of one of thoughs things would be AWSOME!

You know though, we still haven't seen thoughs flying cars. But this would at least be a close resemblence of a flying motorbike if you think about it. And yes i'm one of thoughs crazy US southern idiots that would fly just about anything for a thrill or 2.

[Humberto4790]

@Peter4101 Really,you would?Ok just buy that jet pack and video tape it.

[Peter4101]

@Humberto4790 I dont have the money to do it but i would do it.

[BaThEeShA]

@MrPp67 i don't see you doing any better

[HelmetReality]

@MrPp67 lol!

[MrPp67]

@HelmetReality hahaah

[HelmetReality]

@MrPp67 They made such a big deal about nothing! If he doesn't do anything how can that be news?
