Using Jet Packs to Prove a Playground Theory

February 3, 2012
By

Every playground had one of those kids. The boy who insisted that it was possible to swing in a complete circle on the swing set. Many a child has tried to complete this mythical journey, but could never get enough momentum to go completely over the top. Most children grow out of the desire to prove this theory, but some never do. Jem Stansfield from BBC One program “Bang Goes The Theory” was one of those kids that never got over his desire to soar above others. To prove this theory, he did the most logical thing: he attached a jet pack to his back to try and propel him over the top. The producers of the show thought ahead, so the end result isn’t a cool (or potentially disastrous) as it could have been, but the result is still something to behold. I only wish we could have seen the prep shots ahead of time, I am certain that the dummy they were testing with must have done some real air time.
