You can see during his flight how he's spinning around in a way inconsistent with the thrust of the pack... he's on a hoist and a wire, spinning wildly as they haul him out into the air over the sea.

I think the Mythbusters did a pretty good job of showing it's not gonna work. If they'd focused their effort differently it might have worked /better/, but would probably throw you off your feet at best. It’s pretty obviously fake, you can see his trajectory is all wrong.

They focused their air/water ratios and pressure on obtaining maximum thrust. Had they instead focused on less thrust over a greater period of time it would have worked better. Think about it, the jugs in the Mythbusters experiment emptied nearly instantaniously. The weight of a human isn't going to accelerate very much in that short of a time.

The rescue throw asw you call it has nothing to do with the jet pack wether fake or not. They doing this in japan for fun and did not necessarily use any real rescue personel aand instead had there freind buy them the floataion device. That makes sense to me haha Its fake casue they’d use a real rescue throw. lol no wait haha lol. The rescue throw asw you call it has nothing to do with the jet pack wether fake or not.

Coke and Mentos are well known to have an explosive reaction. The guys in this video took it to the next level. Their Coke bottles look like real jet packs.

I saw this probably 2 or more years ago. Always a funny watch though. Fake or not, this is insane old. I saw this probably 2 or more years ago.
