Killjoy moment

there's a wire & remote release  in that trajectory somewhere I reckon , watch how the thrust vector varies wildly, yet the course doesn't really shift,
and the rotation of the "pilot" , appears to have some odd limits....

just being a geeky killjoy, don;t mind me.....    sorry, I'll get me coat.

I think its a couple of test shots with a non standard weight dummy for the 'long range' shots combined with edited close ups.

But that spoils a good gag....  ;D

Mythbusters checked this one out a few weeks ago and couldn't make it work :(

I spent most of my childhood launching coke bottles from the end of the hose pipe. Never tried more than one at a time though. They can attain quite an impressive height once you get the right ratio of water and compressed air.

Of course, what has just occurred to me is that back then, I didn't have one of these in the garage (and now I do  [smiley=evil.gif])
