Well as some of you know things were at an all time low with sisi. "I HATE HIM" "HE CAN GO DIE" "HE CAN BE SHOT I DONT CARE!" "I DONT WANT HIM ANY MORE" Just some of the things i said :/ The story: Well i flatted him and he was megan amazing for once, then i took him out for a hack... he wouldnt leave the yard i couldnt get him out the gates, he was rearing and leaping... maybe i should have stopped, turned round then but i didnt... I walked him down the road and got on quite far down, i crossed the main road and trotted up the side road, trotted up the tree's alley, and got to the field... Thats when all hell broke lose. he decided he didnt want to go any further... Rearing flat back, spinning, trying to bolt home, he backed up into a sharp stoney field... he was rearing flat back and i knew if i came off and landed on one of them stones, even with my body protector on, i could kill myself.... at last he reared flat back and stumbled, mid way i jumped off, as he was flat back, landed on my feet and got away just as he fell over sidwasys ended up with his bum on the floor and on his front leggs... He then kicked me in the knee as he bucked and bolted, i chased him grabbed my stirrup and rein and stopped him, pulled him towards me, he reared flat back, as his reins were over his head it pulled me under him and i couldnt get away before he came down on my arm... my elbow still hurts!

BY MAURICE SCARBOROUGHANCHOR MEGAN MURPHY You're watching multisource tech news analysis from Newsy. Move over Evil Kenevil, there’s a new daredevil in town - 51-year old Swiss stuntman Yves Rossy. Rossy is making headlines after successfully completing what no one has ever done before - flying over the Grand Canyon with a jetpack.“Rossy, who calls himself Jetman, launched from a helicopter at 8,000 feet, and sustained flight for more than 8 minutes. The 51-year old former fighter pilot reached speeds of up to 190 miles per hour, steering the one man aircraft with only the movement of his body. When his joyride was over he opened his parachute and landed safely on the canyon floor.”Impressive, right? According to one writer for Gizmodo, it’s incredible. He goes on to say this isn’t something for the faint of heart.“The stunt came in multiple stages - first off, a reasonable hop out of a chopper … Then, the four-motor jetpack kicked in ... And then, to cap it all off, a parachute ride down to the canyon's bottom. That's three modes of transportation, all requiring guts the magnitude of which I will never possess the half of. So here's to you, Jetman.”But as a writer for Time’s Techland blog explains, it get crazier.“Rossy didn't get ... approval for the flight in time for dry runs. You're looking at the one and only flight in the ... video.”So why did Rossy’s feat almost come crashing down before ever having a chance to take off? As a writer for Popular Science explains...“The reason, it turns out, was bureaucratic. The FAA didn’t know how to certify Rossy’s first-of-its-kind jetwing, which he envisioned and designed himself with the help of a few sponsors and friends. Certification in hand, Rossy was finally able to make the flight...”The flight marks Rossy’s American debut, but it isn’t the first time the thrill-seeker has taken to the skies in his jetpack. Rossy’s two other most notable stunts - crossing the English Channel in under 10 minutes back in 2008, and his unsuccessful attempt to cross the Strait of Gibraltar in 2009.
