I see the jet quite often and think "Wonder what would happen if you jumped in that"
Thanks to this daft cunt, I know now
I mean the jet is about 140m / 460ft high, to give you an idea of how powerful it is
Edit - corrected numbers, thanks!
140m high and 200km/h or 500 liters/second. Close look on YT for the non GVA people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt9GQSCcCU
I really don't get it, you can feel its power when you get to the barrier. This thing reeks of "do not get closer" feeling.
Yet, that dude decided to kiss it. He could have won the 2023 Darwin award but he was very lucky.
Sorry I forgot to convert the 500 litres per second
You guys over the pond, that's 2.28 washing machines per second
But how many football fields is that?
