We see all sorts of weird and wonderful challenges attempted and insured at Ansell’s but Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy truly has us all in awe after completing a flight near the iconic Japanese landmark, Mount Fuji. Most people would climb uphill to take in the mountainous wonder, but Rossy made the successful attempt in his custom-built jet suit, his first such flight in Asia. Rossy, also known as “Jetman” performed his stunt on the carbon-Kevlar jetwing with four engines celebrating Mount Fuji’s designation as a world heritage site.
With a flight time of around 10 minutes, he circled the world heritage site nine times over the course of a week.
Jetting off, like Rossy and want the security of insurance, then call 0800 1313 417 or view the full list of activities we cover.
