Rocket Car Man (The Darwin Awards)

submitted by bovan
1 decade 6 years 7 months 1 week ago

The famous account of the JATO Rocket Car was one of the original Darwin Awards winners: a man who supposedly met his death in a spectacular manner after mounting a rocket engine on a common automobile. It was originally circulated as a forwarded email.

The story, however, has now been debunked, and is classified as an urban legend.

Though, still a great story :D

Sending this video to Beggar's Canyon to plea for a little attention - beg requested by original submitter bovan.

OMG that was incredible. Is that from a particular film? It's really well done.

Mmm Radar Love.

I've been drivin' all night and it's wet on the wheel,
(Do-do-do-do-do)
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel,
(Do-do-do-do-do)
It's my baby callin' on the telephone!
(A-do-do-do-do-do)
I got some pizza and I'm bringing it home.
(A-do-do-do-do-do)

Of all the stories from the original book, The Darwin Awards, this is one that was found to be an urban legend, hense it never actually happened. Sorry to burst anyones bubble...
