Jet suit pilot Vince Reffet
Jet suit pilot Vince Reffet dies in Dubai crash.
He flew too close to the sun. French extreme sports athlete Vince Reffet has died after a jet suit training incident in the desert near Dubai. The 36-year-old was the second person on the planet to fly Yves Rossi’s Jetman flight suit.
The Jetman team announced Reffet's passing today with a short Facebook post reading: "It is with unimaginable sadness that we announce the passing of Jetman Pilot, Vincent (Vince) Reffet, who died this morning, 17 November during training in Dubai.
"Vince was a talented athlete, and a much-loved and respected member of our team. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those who knew and worked with him. We are working closely with all relevant authorities and ask that you please keep Vince’s family in your thoughts and prayers."
New Atlas readers have seen plenty of Reffet's exploits over his last five years as a Jetman pilot. These carbon-winged devices offer what's probably the purest experience of human flight that current technology allows. Their four beefy jet turbines enable pilots to rocket through the air at speeds up to and over 250 mph (400 km/h), banking and soaring like jet-powered birds in flight.
