Jet pack FAIL!


This video appears to be from another of those weird Japanese game shows. In this case, it seems that the unfortunate contestant had to try to fly using a 'jet pack' made of bottles of carbonated water. The results . . . well, see for yourself.







Flying, it ain't!

    I'm amazed it generated that much lift.

    Mythbusters did this also, except they used Buster first. Kari was going to ride it but wisely chickened out after seeing what happen to Buster.

    sort of like the Chinese guy who had rockets attached to his chair and hoped to reach the moon.
