Rocket sled ejects mannequin

[yonyfive]

Bird almost ran over @:05 scared the shit out of it

[hotdogman67]

It clicking sound sounds like a family of Asians eating supper.

[TheTechnoToast]

[engmustafa83]

Actually I can gooo more faster by my car

[L3gacyJace]

=|...=J...=]... =D.... XD!!!!

[dvlamanno1]

I suppose its another way, to avoid paying a cab driver!

[websailor286]

i thought "EJECT" meant something else. ehehe xD

[silentsnow31802]

The clicking is probably the lens cover being blow around by the wind and hitting the camera

[91thomasg]

he heard his wife was waiting for him at the end of the ride

[METALMUNKEEZ]

is this at Six Flags?

[skaught911]

Why are they still using rockets for this :s they should use like magnets or something similar to that or a train or rollercoaster, certainly would be a lot cheaper

[SAREgermany]

i will too :D

[Camerameister1]

Much better video here: NR=1&v=9IfXIrWztBY

From Martin Baker's test facility in the UK.

[GayBoyRunning]

0:06 i guess he was running late for something.

[Zappyguy111]

I want to go faster... **promptly straps a rocket on a rocket**

[soaringman]

I need one of those at my girlfriends house for after dinner and sex

[Jerkix]

Suspect it's to test the ejection system for planes..

[DuZhod]

Ummm... very cool, but what is this about? I will admit that I used to like the New Scientist blips because they were both cool and informative. Without the informative, however, they lose the cool.

[silntdoogood]

@DuZhod Check the video's description:

It's a test of an ejection system that "will be used in Lockheed Martin's new F-35 Lightning single-seat fighter jets".

[wrathallll]

WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET SOME VIOCES BACK ON n.s VIDS??!?!?

[Tressco]

FEMA Weekend Entertainment keeps the camp happy...

[squidvis]

[Ratama]

[questionsleadtotruth]

For some reason I started cracking up when I watched this.

[canadianeh24]

[blazednlovinit]

Flux-capacitor malfunction

[kukelz]

Ah..Virgin galactic has arrived.

[SlideRulePirate]

Best ride in the park!

[chaz76vette]

...Another red-letter entry into NewScientist's "look-what-we-just-googled" video series

[novan3]

The mannequin did science

[purehawaiianboi23]

aww i thought it was the project nasa was working on :(

where they have a rocket on a track of magnets (i guess like a rail gun?)

for a mile or two and launch it that way rather than use the loads of gas to produce enough lift use the magnets to build up enough air lift and then use the booster :D

i want to see that :D

[alexsouls1]

@purehawaiianboi23 I remember seen the idea a long time ago. I guess it isn't gonna happen. :(

[chicagotransam]

@purehawaiianboi23

You folks do realize this is how they test ejector seat designs, right?

[purehawaiianboi23]

@chicagotransam you do realize i said i thought it was and then decided to explain what i was talking about so that everyone can understand but obviously not everyone could and im sorry for that :D

[sorry8140]

this looks like something the mythbusters would do

[WianaotBrriarNod]

@sorry8140 i think they already did.

watch?v=wAdhQV_SDHI

[PennyDreadfuI]

Mannequin my ass! It was Iron Man...

[njimko23]

I think I can, I think I can

[kickit246]

Bet the Cool Runnings boys wish they had that sled.

[hereswelsh]

How can a combat pilot escape from a doomed plane? In this video, watch a rocket sled fire a test dummy strapped to an ejector seat. The system being trialed will be used in Lockheed Martin's new F-35 Lightning single-seat fighter jets

[brianhaddad]

@hereswelsh Wouldn't have hurt them to post that under the video, right? They seem to be pretty lazy about the descriptions lately. I think I remember them doing a much better job narrating and describing their videos in the past.

[Probablyacowtbh]

BAE systems severance package.

[grendelee]

First Bin Laden then that fucking mannequin! I HATED that fucking mannequin! Good day for us all!

[scottaino]

@grendelee I think you're trying too hard.

[gregor00005]

Amazing how they spend to much money on a rocket sled, but couldn't be bothered to buy a decent camera....

[kno3nitro5cole]

@gregor00005 hey ......its shooting in 360P be happy lol jk

[IsTheCoW]

@gregor00005 Guess this is a private camera...

[wjfox2006]

Meh.

[Catsscratchfever]

OMG  That was Bin Laden....

[ig7157]

All the videos posted by newscientist have had no context for the last month are they just lazy, busy or not getting enough views on their website?

[G3org3Master]

@ig7157 you are the lazy one. These videos are posted here so the embed them to their posts on their website, go read them. The channel is just a place to upload them.

[safenders]

Mortal Kombat and "Toasty" come to mind

[Ipoonthecasbah]

At least they posted an aptly titled video.

[Jikklez]

all that shit looks really good for the ozone, just to show sometthn go flying - scientists sure are makin our world better

[wolverine005]

@Jikklez Yes they are, you sarcastic little twerp.

[mszs]

That was the train operator when he found out that the train was going to crash!

[SpongebobDI]

Well to be honest.... the title described the video perfectly... so perfectly, i didn't even need to watch it in the first place.

[Iprovideo1]

I've got some work experience with these guys in the summer...

wish me luck!

[darthukas]

lol, so that's science? Yeah, I wanna be a scientist now.

[NB5BHVL]

[billy9038]

[NB5BHVL]

@billy9038 Guess he thought Original or Extra Crispy before deciding to make his turn

[EGarrett01]

@billy9038

[UndisputedDelta267]

[MattDurden]

[religionInsanity]

the great race :)

[TheMurraySkull]

ow can a combat pilot escape from a doomed plane? In this video, watch a rocket sled fire a test dummy strapped to an ejector seat. The system being trialed will be used in Lockheed Martin's new F-35 Lightning single-seat fighter jets. You can read the full story here.

If you enjoyed this video, you might also like to see an animation of a 1600-kilometre-per-hour car being built to compete for the land speed record.

[LoveMattersMost]

That's what happens when the Conductor finds you w/o your ticket!
