Mad Mike Hughes, a do it yourself rocket builder and "Flat Earth" proponent came to a fitting end on Saturday...
Karma - though truly are a heartless bi-atch, but you got to admit, Hughes getting "flattened" does show she has a very good sense of humor...

And the "Flat Earther Rocketman" becomes flattened earth...

how'd he expect to land?
:rolleyes:
Did you happen to notice his parachute get blown away right after launch???
"Hey boys, hold my beer while I do my lawn dart impersonation!!!"
I bet the last thing that went through his mind was his femur!!!

"Hey boys, hold my beer while I do my lawn dart impersonation!!!"
reminds me of something my sky dive instructor once said during the lesson......
Yes. I went skydiving.
Once.
For my 30 birthday.
He was instructing us what to do if we find a hole in the chute.
Yes.
I had a choice question for him during this part of the exercise.
*"I'm paying you $150 to fling me out of a plane & you're telling me I might have a hole in my parachute? Doesn't anyone check these things **BEFORE** you give them to us?"*
He then proceeded to tell the class that it's only a precaution. That of course all parachutes are checked prior to giving them to us. While this reply relieved most of the class I still had concerns.
So back to the hole in the chute & what to do.
*"Put your fist up in front of your face aligned with the hole. If the hole appears bigger then your fist you need to pull this doohickey here (pointing to a pull on where the chute mounts to your chest). Pull on it hard & the main chute will cut away deploying your emergency chute."*
My Question?
Because I'm still a bit unnerved about checking for holes in the parachute of course.
*"What happens if there's a hole in the emergency chute?"
"Well then. You have to get yourself into a head's down position."*
Of course I had to ask.
*"Why?"
"So that you hit the ground head first killing you instantly. You don't want to end being disabled if you manage to survive the fall do you?"*
While I went on to do the jump - 4 people asked for their money back.
