fire extinguisher flight

Ever wondered how many fire extinguishers it would take to put a single human being into flight? I sure hadn’t. Fortunately, a few Japanese souls were interested enough to test their questions. The experiment starts with two extinguishers and eventually increases to a staggering 200. That’s right, 200 simultaneously firing extinguishers with the sole intent to send a small guy into flight. Did they achieve flight? That’s for you to discover – How many fire extinguishers does it take to fly?

    question: can a fire extinguisher put itself into flight? I doubt it. and if I’m right by doubting it, it wouldn’t matter how many fire extinguishers you attached to a person, each of them would never lift itself off, let alone their 1/200th of a person

    also, we won’t mention the frame they used which also adds to the weight

    and the fact that they started cheating near the end by trying to use the extinguisher output without actually lifting the extinguisher… :)
