This is a video of maker of things Peter Sripol constructing and attempting to fly a single-person plane made almost entirely out of cardboard, hot glue, and tape. The plane is powered by brushless motors but has to be towed behind a car to take off. But does it fly?

This is a video of the DD Squad successfully launching a human dart 40 feet to a velcro wall dangling 30 feet above water. That’s fun, I would do that. And by that I mean push the button to launch somebody else before they were ready.

This is a video of Youtuber ProjectAir constructing and testing what he believes to be the world’s largest RC rocket plane, a radio controlled balsa glider that gets an initial blast of propulsion from a giant model rocket engine. It works surprisingly well, and the first test flight goes off

These are a couple videos (including a POV version) of TikTok user aladdin_skylab taking to the skies aboard a real flying (falling) carpet, just like Aladdin in his self-titled movie! The carpet operates very similar to a wingsuit, and the effect is pretty spectacular. Am I going to launch myself

Because people are constantly coming up with new and exciting ways to stimulate the adrenal medulla, this is a video of people being blob-launched in a giant ball pit at some sort of trampoline park style amusement center. Admittedly, that does look like fun. I used to LOVE the ball

This is some bodycam footage from Valdosta, Georgia where police were making an arrest on the highway when a distracted driver launches off the ramp of a parked tow truck, traveling some 120 feet in the air before crashing back down. Holy smokes! The driver is currently being treated for

This is a video of a Singaporean foursome performing a choreographed indoor skydiving routine at the 2023 World Indoor Skydiving Championships, complete with a bunch of flips and twists and hand-holding and all sorts of other fun stuff. You know, I’ve always considered trying this indoor skydiving thing, but I’m
