Vincent Reffet (15 September 1984 – 17 November 2020)[1] was a French BASE jumper, skydiver, wingsuit flyer, and jetman.
Some sources describe him as having been a "protégé of well-known jet daredevil Yves Rossy" who also used a "four-engine, carbon-Kevlar wing strapped to their backs".
According to CNN, the "wingsuit is powered by four mini jet engines.. [and] allows pilots to control rotations around the yaw axis at zero speeds.
Prior to his death, Reffet made this statement to the news media about the benefits of the jetpack: "... when I am skydiving, I have like this feeling of freedom like I can pretty much go where I want, but always going down.
