Man Zips Around Mount Fuji in Homemade Jetpack


"Epic" is a word that gets thrown around a lot here on this modern social Internet. Yves Rossy, however, is truly deserving of the title.
One reason: He has a jetpack. Another reason: It really works. A third reason: He made it himself. And, oh, what the hell, a fourth reason: He recently used it to fly around Japan's iconic Mount Fuji volcano. Nine times.

Rossy's magical journey is detailed in the YouTube clip embedded above. The pack has a max flight time of about 13 minutes, so he made his nine circumnavigations on separate trips between Oct. 28 and Nov. 3, according to NBC News.
The pack reportedly weights 132 pounds and reaches speeds of up 185 mph. The Swiss engineer started each trip from inside an airplane to get up near eye level with 12,388 feet of Fuji-san.
This is definitely the coolest thing Rossy's done since he used his homemade jetpack to fly over the Grand Canyon in 2011:
