Daredevil dies after crashlanding Rocket intended to prove the Earth was flat

[kossoff]

i remember thinking when i first saw it that it would only end one way. That's natural selection at work right there. No sympathy for him but I feel for any friends and family he leaves behind.

If he had any friends or family, they should have had him sectioned.

Instead he got flattened

 

[Tomma]

It must have been a shock that he was unsuccessful given the money spent on this mammoth undertaking. 14k - bloody hell.

Proved gravity is a force to be reckoned with.

He’ll have known pretty quick it had gone tits up

He only wanted to go to 1850 metres... No one tell him he could have just got a helicopter

So basically he could have popped into any flight school and paid less than $200 for a leisure flight that would have went twice as high

His carbon footprint from the attempt will be minimal too. Which will reduce flat earth warning. His actual feet will be minimal as well now.

I have been higher than that with a wing and a motor on my back

Proof that we should never underestimate the stupidity of some people.

Long way down to face your own mortality

Did he hit the dome?

 

[southstander]

He was known as ‘Mad Mike’ for a reason.

I bet he bought all his furniture from Ikea.

Just seen the video - the parachute ripped off after it took off cos the nugget seemed to have it attached directly below the exhaust

 

[look out piano]

......Rocketman, burning out his fuse up here alone. RIP Rocketman.

He’s re-writing Bennie and the Jets as we speak in honour of Mad Mike’s Sacrifice.
