Because there was always that kid on the playground who could never go as fast as he wanted on the merry-go-round (the same kid could often be found during craft time eating a glue stick), Cody of YouTube channel WhistlinDiesel took it upon himself to mount a 7,000 horsepower jet engine to one to see what would happen. SPOILER: it goes around really fast generating up to 13 G’s of force until it rips itself off and wrecks. Thankfully, Cody wasn’t riding the merry-go-round at the time or he very well might have reached his own terminal velocity.

Cody riding the jet-go-round at 13:00, its self destruction at 16:30.
