Flying man dies during training in Dubai

Jetman pilot Vincent Reffet was killed in a training accident in Dubai on November 17, a Jetman spokesperson said.

Reffet, 36, was a Frenchman who was part of the “Jetman” team which has done groundbreaking stunts above Dubai using jetpacks and carbon-fibre wings.

Jetmen have performed many dramatic flights over Dubai, soaring above the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and alongside an Emirates Airbus A380, the world’s largest commercial airliner.

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, condoled the death of Reffet on Instagram. Sheikh Hamdan, who is also an adventurer, posted a photo of himself with Reffet, in his Instagram story and wrote: “We will miss you.”
