Crazy UK Man Attaches Miniature Jet Engines to His Limbs

Now why would a man attach miniature jet engines to his limbs?! Well, it’s part of a home-made Ironman suit says  Gravity founder Richard Browning.

This is nuts! But he actually made it work successfully … much to our surprise!

A YouTube collection of grainy video clips highlights the progress Gravity founder Richard Browning has made toward his outlandish dream over the past year. Each seems more terrifying than the last, with multiple jet engines attached to his limbs in various configurations, as he hovers a few feet from the ground.

The press material attached to the announcement heralds the oil trader turned entrepreneur as a real life Iron Man, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that you’re watching some sort of backyard mad scientist, a few moments away from the world’s most dangerous Jack Ass stunt. Browning acknowledges how downright alarming the footage of the Daedelus rig appears, but shakes off any notion that he’s actually in danger at any point during the three-and-a-half minute package.
