cheap homebuilt rocket belt that flew
In article ,
says...
that was fake!!
Yep - a definite LOL. The "Pilot" did not look happy when he got back
to the dock. OTOH, he could have been far worse off.
I'm not sure they didn't hoist him with a crane or something. The thrust
angles and the poor SOB's gyrations didn't appear to be exactly in phase.
Maybe I'm just a skeptic.
I'll watch it again but I don't think it was faked, but regardless it was a
hoot. The look on the pilots (?) face would be hard to fake .He truly looks like
he just had the ride of his life.
They should have contacted the Rocket Racing League and got the world famous
test pilot zoom to fly it first.Now I'd pay to watch that one LOL!!
I can see the pilot report now ;-)
