Using A Jet Pack On A Swingset Is The New Black

Here’s an au courant fashion tip for all you bon vivants who enjoy lounging at the local playground in a très non-creepy way:  jet packs are so hot right now.  Also hot right now?  Dropping too much French into a sentence, like some ersatz Pepé Le Pew (the only French person I am aware of).

Anyway, Jem Stansfield from BBC One program “Bang Goes The Theory” wanted to find out if it’s possible to swing 360 degrees on a playground swing, so he did the only logical thing:  strap on a jet pack, get on the swing, and let the magic happen (video below).  Unfortunately, they thought far enough ahead to add some safety precautions, so this video wasn’t nearly as dangerous (meaning awesome) as it could have been.  At least he looks fashionable.

If the video doesn’t work in your region, this BBC iPlayer version might.
