I wonder how they triggered all of the soda bottles to open their lids, all
at the same time?

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.

Shoot, he was 40 feet, or more, off the water when he ran out of thrust.
That alone would hurt. Add to that, it sure did look like he was
experiencing some "unusual attitudes" as he was on the way back down.

It was funny, that's for sure. They do some wicked mean things to people on
that show. There would be multiple law suites here.

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 ;-)
