Digg thisLike a skydiver, Rossy steered through the air using only his body, making figure eights and at one point doing a 360-degree barrel roll. The only instruments at his disposal during the 5-minute flight were a throttle and an audible altimeter. "Physically, it's absolutely no stress," Rossy said, according to the AP.
