Copenhagen Suborbitals:
First flight of the HEAT1X-Tycho Brahe ended with a splashdown of the Tycho spaceship after 86 seconds, 8 kilometers downrange from launch site.
The video depicts the pilot (dummy) POV throughout the flight. The parachutes did not deploy fully, so the impact was rough enough to dislodge the observation cupola upon splashdown. The spacecraft was otherwise mostly intact with only minor deformation and water damage.
I wonder how the shaking would vary with a human pilot? I'm sure the dummy had a harness of some type, but that it didn't reflect a tensed-up body and arms a human might employ (helpfully or not!)

@NikoAndRoman123 They launched a rocket. Large enough to carry a man. That they built themselves. Have you done that? I'd be pretty proud.

Keep it up, show the world some great rocketry!
I can't wait for the next rocket to be launched

And BTW, that take off is enough to knock a human out - subconsious - you morons.

Add an ejection seat if the parachutes don't work right.
