Look how fast the go-cart went in this site. Look what year it was. And people think they have fast things now!!

Have fun with your hydrogen peroxide rockets, but don't kill yourselfs.

Was the story for real? It's been passed around for a long time, and you never really know if it's legit, or just some good story telling.

yeah, the jetpacks are in one of the old bond films. Their not exact jet packs. I beleive the are simply a compressed gas tank. I believe they only fly between 30 second and a minute. So I wouldn't get too high in it. Or you'd have a long drop. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Holy cow that was a long story. But funny as heck. The guy in the article said he was 22 when he did that stunt. I sat here realizing that even though I'm about to turn 35, I would probably still try something like this myself.

................I wonder where could find a JATO rocket?
