Would you like to go... faster?


Enter Harry Egger, the fastest sportsman on earth, who reaches his speed without external power. He is 33 years old and comes from Lienz in East Tyrol, Austria (and not Malaysia, as you might think). Last winter, Harry got in a savvy scientific super skiing space suit and went down a crazy-go-nuts ramp attached to a giant Red Bull can in France (once again, not in Malaysia), achieving a speed of 154 mph. A parachute comes out of his bottom so he can slow down and not end up crashing into the kitchen of the ski lodge, which would get soup and hot chocolate everywhere. (www.speedski.com)
