Ah, so the young kid, not the original guy. Yves Rossy was the original, I believe, and is Swiss. I think Vince R was a newer jetman. Hopefully, it was quick.
RIP.

They say an Airbus A380 appeared from nowhere. He didn't stand a chance.

^^^ The news articles that I've read only say that he died in a 'training accident'
Maybe more will be said tomorrow.

I'm going to hell. No one has said it yet... "he died doing what he loved" This is a tragedy. 36 years young. I haven't looked into it much, but I really hope he didn't leave any young kids behind. I would never (ok, rarely) celebrate someone's death. But, I am able to laugh at just about anything if done just right.

I honestly give the guy credit for living the hell out of life while it lasted for him.
