Man 'flies' down mountains



A Norwegian man who 'flies' down mountains at speeds of more than 150mph claims he is the world's fastest human being.

Espen Fadnes wears a wingsuit which he opens out to direct his flight after leaping from the top of almost sheer cliffs.

Video footage filmed via a headcam - entitled Sense of Flying - has been posted on YouTube and notched up more than 300,000 hits.

It shows him jumping from the top of a mountain in Stryn, rocketing through a gorge as he descends 1,240 metres towards a fjord.

His wingsuit features extra fabric under his arms and between his legs to provide extra lift.

But one user commented: "That's not flying - that's falling with style!"
