'Mad Mike' Hughes dies during homemade rocket launch

Показать описание

Disturbing new video shows the moments before a man, who was launched in a homemade rocket, plunged to his death. About 50 people gathered in a San Bernardino County desert to watch Science Channel star 'Mad Mike' Hughes make the launch Saturday.

But the rocket apparently hit a steel ladder on the launch ramp and ripped off a parachute can, which opened and got caught in the thrust of the rocket.

You know you're screwed when the parachute deploys during launch.

He didn’t prove the earth is flat, but he did prove it was hard. 🤷🏾‍♂️

It's a good thing he figured out how to stop time right before he hits the ground.

Dude could’ve just flown up in a jet at that price to see the curve.

You've got to give him that his research did make a huge impact.

At least he proved the theory of gravity still works.

That's some ground breaking research.

Poor guy. Without a rear view mirror, I bet he didn’t know he had lost his chute. A wild ride until the end…

There are easier ways to view the Earth's curvature..

Looks like safety was really not a concern with this individual. Rest in peace. Natural selection at work here.

Machines may fail, but gravity never does

While he failed to prove his orginal point, Mike's last lesson was showing everyone gravity does in fact exist.

You shouldn’t be allowed to build rockets if you think the earth is flat

They should have put all the flat earthers on there.

Honestly as sad as it it I'm impressed he broke his own record. Dude actually got real distance his second flight, too bad about the parachute malfunction.
