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

[Roccus7]

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...

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.
