Blame it on Rio.
A man using a winged jetpack completed an 11-minute flight over the skyline of Rio de Janeiro, the BBC reports.
Former fighter pilot Yves Rossy was dropped from a helicopter over Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and soared across blue skies to circle the city's famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Wednesday. The BBC says he tracked south of the Brazilian city to fly over Ipanema and Copacabana, then past Sugar Loaf Mountain before pulling his parachute and landing on Copacabana beach.
The video is incredible.
