If no-one else here is going to tip their hat to Yves Rossy then I certainly will..
In my view, he's attempting something that would strike a chord with all previous aviation pioneers going all the way back to the Wright brothers.. Have we all become so immersed in Health & Safety culture that we're no longer able to recognise a true free spirit..?
There can't be that many aviation 'firsts' left to be claimed by individuals - so the very best of luck to you Yves!
