Let's Go Flying!!

Would you want to fly over the Grand Canyon? Well, a Swiss adventurer has done just that using his jet propelled wings attached to his back. Flying at over 190 miles per hour, he was in the air for over eight minutes. This video will show you parts of his flight.

Would you be interested in doing something like that, or do you think it would be too dangerous? Is he brave, or crazy? Should he have been allowed to do it? Can you think of a crazier stunt?

I'd be too scared to fly over the Grand Canyon outside of an airplane. This man is pretty brave considering he could've fallen from his wings. If he willing to risk his life, he should have permission to do it.

I think this is a step forward on the trail of the human dream of flight. However, i would not do this myself. As the old saying goes, its not the fall that kills you but the landing

Matt: I would absolutely do this. It would be such a thrill to be able to experience something like that. I've always wanted to do something that I would never forget, and I think that this would be the thing.

LaKendra.. I don't know if I would be brave enough to do something like that. This man has to be very brave in order to risk his life on a stunt like this. If he's willing to do it then no one should stop him.

I would fly over the Grand Canyon out of a airplane. I think it would be fun. He was brave to do it. Anyone that wants to do it, should be allowed to do it, as long as they have someone that knows wat there doing with them.

Tee: I would love to fly over the Grand Canyon, but it would be incredibly scary. I think he's pretty brave, AND a little crazy. I think a crazier stunt may have be jumping over a fifty-foot long pit of deadly lions.

Sheron says…I think he was pretty deranged for that stunt but I would like to do definitely do something like that. Its skydiving with wings, I don’t think it can get any better than that.

That guy was pretty brave to fly over the Grand Canyon on just wings. I’m scared to just fly in airplanes much less on wings. Maybe he should have gotten permission to do this.

Chris says… I think I wouldn’t be interested in doing this, I mean I would like to try skydiving but not flying over the Grand Canyon. I think he’s brave and crazy, he was going at speeds of 190 mph. Probably instead of flying maybe one big jump over the Grand Canyon would be a crazier stunt.

I would not be interested. Yes i do like heights but i would be terrified to do that.This would be way to dangerous. That person should have not been allowed to do that. I can not think of anythings else crazier to do.

I would love to do that. It is very dangerous. However, it is cool. It is amazing to defy the odds. Dare to be extreme.

I would love to do something like this! Except I would rather use anti-gravity technology rather than rocket technology. I think he definitely should have been aloud to do it. Why not? He didn't hurt any body did he? And I can think of plenty of crazier stunts.

I think it would be fun to do that however i would be to scared to jump out a plain. I feel like he is crazy for coming up with the idea. However ifeel like he is brave because he made it through. I feel like because it was his choice he had the right to do it. Now hes rememeberd for his cray dare devil stunt.

Holly said...

I'm not sure if I would do this. He is brave to fly over the Grand Canyon, but he is also crazy, he could have been killed. I'm not sure if he should have been allowed, it was his choice. No, I can't think of a crazier stunt than this.

The parents are over¬-reacting. They have a good point though but if the parents choose to buy them that’s there call. If I had a daughter she would not being wearing shape ups.
