RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I saw that on tv here not too long ago. LMAO!!!!! The guy doesn't know how to swim.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

HA HA! :D:D:D:D:D

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

It's true. My wife translated the words and they say that he doesn't know how to swim!!

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

There must have been some serious reward involved for him to do such a stupid thing. :)

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

Wat are some of the other things they are saying?

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I think some of the things are "Are you insured?" and "What the hell are you thinking??" :)

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

Wife is sleeping will ask her tomorrow to translate the video.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

It looked like fun! I think I would try it once. I've done crazier.:D

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

It's funny, he only wanted to go about 10 meters to where the ballon is in the water.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I think part of the translation would have something like..... " has anyone seen my left testicle?"




(can I say that?:D)

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

that was one bad belly flop, i know that hurt

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

Any way to verify how real that stunt was? Some views looked a little suspicious. Either way, it was very entertaining. But if the video was manipulated, I won't bother trying to launch my younger brother.

EDIT - My brother want be joining Aqua-NASA, it was faked. :( Watched it frame by frame, the guy moved before the rockets.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

Those guys sure know how to have fun!

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

Don't let that kind of missile teechnology fall into the hands of terrorists.:D

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I can imagine terrorists flying across the atlantic with that.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I noticed that as well, but if you didn't jump then it would probably just make a huge mess and the guy wouldn't go anywhere, whears if you already have some forward momentum, then the rockets just aid this. I don't think it was faked.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

The movement isn't him jumping, it looks like his shirt is being yanked up.

Have they managed to flood Europe with CSI-like shows yet?

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I love the Vid.....but it does look like he is hanging up there for a while....

but who cares...I laughed!

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

I particularly laughed at the spread eagle, face down landing. It made me think of a flying squirrel.

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

Let me translate(Im half Japanese half Vietnamese) in the first segment, the guy is advertising some soda company. right after that he says the guy doesnt know how to swim. He then explains how the contraption works and says that it should propel the guy out to the ballon. Before he starts the countdown, he pulls the old "kids dont try this at home" while the guy is flying in the air...you can hear him saying "holy ****! that guy is gunna end up with a cast between his legs"

Rough Translation...but good enough:D

RE: Asian Rocket program.
 

It is clearly fake...

At that launch angle, with the weight of his body all below the thrust vector, and supposing that he actually has enough thrust to lift that mass off the ground in the right circumstances, than the best he could probably do is a forward flip and hit his head on the dock wall.

That, and the fact that, like other pointed out, he leaves the ground before the rocket are "fired".
