@sidwills actually some guy really did this,mythbusters made a fully functioning car with JATO rockets and it worked as this one should have,but when they made another one and tried to replicate what happened here,the car didn´t work and just exploded.someone did this,but it is unknown who and what really happened.
@TheRaptorsaur actually that myth was based on the "turbonique" products of the 60s. they made rocket superchargers, rocket powered axles and lastly, rocket thrust engines specifically designed to attach to the back of just about anything with wheels
It is actually real. The man used to work in the NASA. He tried to brake, but the brakes melted and he took off at about 500 km/h. He crashed on a cliff, and only a small part of his teeth was found on the crash site.
@nolifemerc No, what I was referencing to was that if this car was doing a realistic 220mph, a 1969 Charger Daytona with a 426 HEMI was capable of doing, but without a rocket. Of course any team of engineers could probably achieve such a speed with enough funding.
Clearly with multiple cameras and well-recorded dialogue, this can't be a recording of events as they occurred. There was a guy who strapped a jet engine to his body and did something similar to this in the mid-90's. He crashed into a canyon wall after a long "flight" over the valley floor. The movie is loosely based on facts. All true events in Darwin Awards archives!
There was some lunatic that did a version of this. There's a video getting around called "Devil at your heels." This lunatic wanted to use a rocket powered car to launch over the river that forms the Canadian/US border. It was "specially designed" for the job, but that fancy fibreglass body wasn't up to the job, and it crashed into the water about 2/3 of the way across
@zealotoi812 It was a reenactment of an alledgedly real event, done for a movie called "The Darwin Awards." Some say it didn't really happen, but Mythbusters showed that it could have actually been done, and somehow, I think this was indeed based of a real event that went real bad for the driver!
Bogus Shiza..There never was a rocket car that flew into a stinking mountain..And if there was,it wouldn't play out like this total boring buffoonery.
The Darwin Awards is one of my favorite movies of the 2000's and I really don't understand why so many people hate it - the storyline is interesting and not typical. In general this film was weird a little bit but still brilliant in its own way. Joseph Fiennes and my lovely Winona Ryder were impressive plus many cameo actors and actresses and Metallica of course.
Brilliant and soooooo underrated film! I would like to see a sequel
@BloodScorchedSun Wouldn't have done any good for two reasons. 1, JATOs are solid fuel systems. 2, in this case, he was using a jet engine pulling quite a few G's. In any case. . . .
In the original story, it was a 16 year old kid in his Dad's '57 Chevy, and they didn't find him until 20 years after he vanished. Even then, all they found was a bumper.
darwin awards go to Western culture. the culture that's destroyed the environment and the chance of survival for the entire human race.
the idiot culture that never understood Darwin or later developments in human genome studies which conclude our intimate genetic relationship to one another throughout the world.
the grand idiot culture that assumes it's a good risk to reproduce in a world its destroyed where 20 years from now there won't be any more drinking water for their offspring.
@sonbarably Like there arent retards in other countries. Look at China. They're destroying their own country with over mining dumping toxic chemicals into their rivers, and destroying forests to build cities. Get your facts straight and your head out of your ass before you open your mouth.
@illlite There was thing they didn't get right on Mythbusters; the angle the rocket was mounted on the roof. It was pointed at a slight downward angle. There was no "ramp" involved. All they proved was that strapping a rocket to a car will make it go VERY @#%&ing FAST! The veering off the road wouldn't work because the steering wouldn't respond at that speed. However, if there was a bend in the road, it could have happened like this if someone really WAS this stupid
I'm a big fan of reading darwin awards and they do reckon some clown did this,and died,the car did fall apart and go out of control due to stress but I'm not quite sure about the part of it getting airborne,that does seem a bit hard to believe
No!! This was a long standing urban myth but it never happened. Mythbusters shot this one down. If I'm not careful, all you Know It All rocket scientists will have this guy being tracked by NORAD!!
If you want to get a sense of what this guy went through ride the Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point , probably the closest you can get without dieing ... rofl
0 to 120 mph in 4 sec, 420 feet straight up at a 90 degree angle then a 270 degree twist and 420 ft straight down at 90 degree angle, that's one wild ride !!
@Bluea88 Bzzzzzzzzzt sorry wrong answer. he clearly says in the video that it is a liquid fuel rocket at 1:24 "the first two switches mix the fluids. Once mixed they become one of the most potent rocket fuels" a liquid fuel rocket can be extinguished just by turning off the fuel pump (switch one)
@everyone... After seeing this clip I was excited to see the movie but after manageing to watch the whole movie and not fall asleep this is the only part worth seeing.
This one never took place, some asshole made this Rocket car up, but plenty of other idiots who have killed themselves in stupid ways, like the 16 year old wierdo who elecuted himself having sex with a cow heart in the deep south!!!
@hotrodrm250 watch the whole movie... there are more then a few myth done in it... and A and J have a guessed spot in the movie.... in fact their characters are the ones that sold the JATO rocket to this guy.
The real event happened in the early 60's in Arizona and wasn't as spectacular, the guy who stole the rocket motor leaped out of the car the second he fired the JATO (and thus survived the incident) The car only flew about 10 feet into the air and crashed into a tree.
@shjesus It exploded due to the movie crew recording it and wanted to sell the movie. They stuck a bunch of TNT into a PC and did some truly explosive graphics.
It might have worked if the car wasn't shaped like a brick, if the glass was well curved and made of polycarbonate, and if the body was made of titanium or magnesium.
Why some people do things like that? Yeah, I know they might be a little stupid, but why having such an idea? Is it something like a self destruction gene inside them or what?

@augdog1230 why not I think It could,I would try it myself but I got no rocket or means to get one,so i tell you what,you buy me a rocket and I will strap it to my caprice and we will see if it can do 400mph
cool,problem is I checked all surplus sites and cannot find any jato rockets for sale but we can make one,I am compiling a parts list and I am pretty sure it can be made for less than $2000 (lucky us) If my calculations are correct a solid fuel rocket with 200lbs of fuel would generate 46000lbs of thrust for about 30seconds I dont know how fast that would get me,maybe we better make it 400lbs,I have a caprice I can paint it pink,the salt flats are the only safe place to test it,still down?
My rocket car will soon be launched. Have Commander Nodrog for driver......pilot. He excells with experimental conveyance and this will be fun challenge for him. See ya in the headlines. Back to the Future Head Engineer
this is the funniest thing i've ever seen. i love it at like 1:54 when he just starts going, "HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTT". and the end when the guy in the car is just like wtf? hahaha
