V rocket man came to parachute, went right over the whole crowd and landed on the stage, it was so mean.. but it left the crowd deaf and the band after him wasnt heard at all!
Yeah, not only does the jetpack not fly that high, you cannot control it with only one hand. If it was real, we should have seen a splatter on the pavement.
He launches off the ground on the rocket and flys about 100m forward until the camera man focuses off him for a while in the meantime a helicopter lifts someone else at the bottom of a rope with a fake jetpack on to the skytower to deliver the cone and then on the return trip does the same as he focuses off the helicopter lifted "jetman" back onto the real jetman on his return trip! riiiight???
The Skytower is 328 meters tall, he descends this height in about 7 seconds, Which is about 280 km/h. That is faster than a typical sky divers terminal velocity of around 195 km/h.
Apart from that and the fact that no simple compact jetpack technology like this exists, I would suggest this is fake.
I think the actual jetpack and this guy does exist, it was faked that he 'coned' the Sky Tower as a viral promotion. If you search 'V jetpack man' there are other video's of him doing more simple flights at music festivals etc that look pretty realistic.
The Bell rocketbelt was good for about 30 seconds, today that is up to a minute. Still not long. At 45 seconds head for the deck. Guess he has a timer to tell him when to come down.
The jetpack is real and the two dots on the roof are guys filming, the link is jetpack man on some channel. They did not cone the roof as the fuel (gas) runs out after about 60 seconds of flight and it could not get to that height or cover that distance as quickly. This is based on a jetpack design from another company.
LOL! real?!?! yes can't you tell, they have jetpacks everywhere.. don't worry about the radiation at the top of the tower with all the tv, radio and wifi signals coming out. it'll be all goood.
Nah! i think special effects. these things have a flight endurance of 30 seonds which is probably the time it would take to fly to the top of the sky tower, and without fuel endurance to bring the guy back down safely. Plus the rocket man would get RF burns from the high power radio transmitters on the mast.
no it isn't, I work at the SkyTower, and there was legitimately a cone on the top of the tower. It was specifically made for it, and was put up there by a rigger ;)
The Sky Tower is a thousand foot high, so they must be about half a mile away, yet he gets back in 3 seconds. 1200 mph with a jetpack - of course it's real!
A handful of companies currently offer jet packs for sale to the public. JetPack International (Jet PI) is an American company founded by Troy Widgery, creator of Go Fast energy drinks. Jet PI took 50s-era rocket belt designs and updated them with modern fuels and materials.
Tea it is a fake, because of a few things, the bell rocket pack cant go up 328M it can only hit at the most 50m. It cant do the 480m trip to the top in 10 seconds because if it was it would have been doing 48m/s (172.8 km/h) again the max speed is 100Km/h. Even if it could make the trip at max speed it would take 20 seconds to get there and 20 to get back. Also another problem it has about 30 seconds of hydrogen peroxide not enough to make the 50 second trip. The rocket bell does fly.
wtf why are you people discussing if its real or not. i fucking hate viral marketing why does everything have to be commercialised(<- thats probly not evan a word lol). please ignore this shitty video and dont put it on dump sites
What do you idiots gain from telling us all it's fake? Of course the stunt is "faked" - it doesn't take a rocket (pun fully intended) scientist to figure that one out - but it's an ad, it's not claiming to be "real". Either enjoy the final product, or don't, but quit stating the obvious - it's irrelevant!
Na I heard about this on the radio. They were saying there was a cone on the top of the skytower and then it got taken off pretty quickly. It would have been on Tuesday this week I think.
Go up and do the skyjump then come back and tell us that this film is real. Oh whoops, forgot, you can't afford that either.
