In this most recent attempt, he was able to fly up to 100 meters, IT World reports.

A mechanical engineer, Smeets' success is the fruit of eight months of research and design for his Human Birdwings Project.

Sailing Like a Boss

Alex Thomson Racing, also known as the Hugo Boss Sailing Team, attempts what it is called ‘The Keel Walk‘, a stunt that has become infamous throughout the world thanks to the iconic image of Alex ‘riding’ the keel of his 60ft yacht ‘Hugo Boss‘.

As his 8-tonne carbon fibre yacht, Hugo Boss, sails on edge, Alex pulls up in a 255-horsepower ski jet and leaps onto the keel of the boat. Be sure to check out the embedded video below for proof of this epic feat.

Tornadoes on the Sun

Last week, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite captured this stunning video of magnetically captured plasma moving like a tornado across the sun's surface.

The sun tornado video shows swirling fountains of plasma creeping across the surface of the sun during a 30-hour period between Feb. 7 and 8. But unlike tornadoes on Earth, which are wind-driven phenomena, the sun's plasma tornadoes are shaped by the powerful magnetic field of our star. A solar physicist at NASA said the tornado might be as large as the Earth itself and have gusts up to 300,000 miles per hour.

Russian Kid Climbs Buildings Like A Boss

A hundred feet in the air, this kid jumps to get those last couple inches he needs to reach the roof of the building he’s climbing… He does flips on the edges of apartment buildings… He hangs from a crane.

It’s terrifying. The music didn’t help, either.

Youhui lives in Dahua, southern China and according to the story, medical tests conducted in complete darkness show he can read perfectly without any light and sees clearly during the day. Hard to verify – it is China after all – but we are intrigued.

Jetman Flies in Formation with Two Jet Planes

“Jetman” Yves Rossy recently flew in formation over the Swiss Alps alongside two jet aircraft from the Breitling Jet Team.

Rossy, outfitted with a sturdy wing and four jet engines, jumped off a helicopter to begin his flight.

The jets and their pilots are part of the Breitling Jet Team, a civilian aerobatics team.

India Talent Show - Warriors of Goja

The 'Warriors Of Goja' blew away the audience of the Indian talent show Adhurs by chewing glass, breaking boards on each other's bodies, and smashing clay pots on their abs with axes, among other feats.

The group of Sikh men put on a stunning performance, showing remarkable endurance as they withstood beatings from wooden sticks and being run over by a car.

According to International Business Times, the Warriors of Goja won 300,000 rupees, or about $5,800 USD. However, they did not make it to the show's finals.

Surfer Almost Swallowed by Whale

“Woman floating on a surfboard near Santa Cruz, California almost ended up on the lunch menu for a humpback whale over the weekend,” reads the caption of the video posted to YouTube.

The video shows a surfer and two people in a kayak floating off the shore in California. Seconds later, two massive humpback whales emerged from the water in search of food only a few feet away from them.

The group wasn’t harmed by the encounter but clearly shaken up, as you can see the surfer quickly paddling away from the whales as soon as they appear.

Man Jumps Over Speeding Lamborghini

We know all about high jumpers, but jumping high enough to avoid death by this speeding car is pretty incredible.

The Lamborghini Gallardo comes frighteningly close to the man before he jumps over the vehicle as it dashes right under him. We don't even want to imagine what could've happened if the timing wasn't just right.

Full Traffic Arab Style Drifting and AK47 Shooting

I’m pretty sure that more than 90 percent of people who will read this article have drifted at least one time in small traffic conditions or on a deserted road and winter is the best thing that can happen to them while snow is an early Christmas present.

But this news isn’t for that category or maybe it is and in this case the Arabs have went to a whole new level and what are they doing in this video seems out of this world in the bad way.

Most of you are probably familiar with these kinds of videos from the old LiveLeak where Arabs did this stuff on deserted roads and all the SUVs were going on two wheels before crashing into large crowds, but again, doing this in real traffic conditions means that the drivers of the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry have no brains, even if they seem to be pretty skillful.

Tokyo Drift in the Living Room

The rich, it’s said, are different than you and I. What seems seems illogical or destructive to us just seems like good fun to those with large bank accounts. Keith Moon, the original drummer for The Who, had a penchant for destroying hotel rooms simply because he could. The owner of this Cobra replica, on the other hand, has a penchant for destroying hardwood floors.



There’s no backstory to accompany the video, so we don’t know what prompted the driver to serve up fresh donuts in his living room. Laying rubber in such tight confines takes some skill, so we’ll give the driver props for only destroying the floors and not the drywall. Enjoy the video below, and we strongly discourage you from trying this at home.
