Most people would climb uphill to take in the wonders of Japan's Mount Fuji, but Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy chose to strap on a jet pack and fly around it instead.

With a flight time of around 10 minutes, he circled the world heritage site nine times over the course of a week.

A bat-octopus? Sounds like a nerve-tickling genetic experiment, which really should be tried once

They should re-title the jetman vid, "how to avoid having your wallet raped by the locals when climbing mt fuji."
