Because bad ideas come in all shapes and danger sizes, this is a video of Australian Youtuber I Did A Thing building and testing a propane pulsejet-powered swing set. The sound it makes as it goes around is nuts. Unfortunately (but probably actually fortunately for them), the swing is only

This is a sitcom-long video from Hacksmith Industries of the crew attempting to set the world record for fasted speed on a snow sled. Not a snowmobile, but a previously unpowered sled trike that’s been modded with two jet engines and manages to hit 107MPH (beating the previous record of

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

Note: Some appropriately colorful language from the people filming. This is a video of a pilot ejecting from an F-35B Lightning II fighter jet at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth in Texas after a failed attempted at a vertical landing. Thankfully, the pilot is fine, but
