Franky Zapata

Jetpack inventor Franky Zapata recently suffered a horror crash after falling 50 feet while giving a demonstration of his homemade device called Flyboard. Following the incident, he was rushed to the hospital immediately by emergency services.

Is it a bird? A plane? No, it's a French inventor flying over the English Channel on his hoverboard.

A Frenchman who has spent years developing a jet-powered hoverboard zoomed across the English Channel on Sunday after a first attempt last month was cut short when he fell into the water while trying to refuel.
