Is it possible for me to attach fire-extinguishers to myself and propel myself at least four feet into the air? If so, how many fire-extinguishers would it take to propel a 5’3" kid who is about 110 pounds? :dubious:
I don’t think so. The extinguishers would have to be able to propel themsleves higher than that to be able to add your weight to to them. So if one FE can’t do it alone, there is no way they would do it with you no matter how many you add.
Maybe if you stood on 2 foot square piece of wood as a platform and then aimed the FEs up at the bottom you could get some levitation but it would be pretty unstable.
Evil Eskimo, dare I ask why…?
They still producing Jackass?
Attach explosive bolts to the bottom of the extinguishers, so that they can release all their propellant at once, then fire all the bolts at once, at the same time as jumping into the air, then maybe.
Or I could give you a good swift kick. Let’s see, 110lbs, 3 feet :::does quick calculations:::: yeah, come over here.
I just wanted to say this is the funniest damn post I’ve seen on this board.
If by fire-extinguishers, you mean tri-nitro-toluene, and by propel your self, you mean blow your self into tiny bits, then yes, it is. In fact, I may be able to help you out with some of the details.
You should be sure to film it and post the link here—>.
Whats 5’3" and hangs from a tree in tatters, covered by white foam?
The probe that went to the bottom of the marianas trench for 20 minutes, then came shooting to the surface to find the planet covered in a 40 foot layer of salt?
Keep in mind that, in some states, discharging a fire extinguisher when there is no fire is a felony. Luckily not in the state I grew up in. Very luckily :p.
Arizona?
I don’t know anything about our state’s fire laws, although I do know this: Tucson’s fire department is actually a local company that lobbied the city council to privatize the whole fire-response thing. United Fire Services or somesuch, I think.
I didn’t grow up here.
Eskimo, man, I don’t know how in hell to answer your question, but that mental image (along with Eve’s comment) will have me snickering all evening. Thanks 
A bad episode of CSI?
The Michelin Man’s remains after a major blowout?
Is it just me wondering about the specificity of four feet. Are you trying to clear a particular obstacle or is this a record attempt of some sort?
Oh yeah, good point. Though if they had a decent length hose you could put the extinguishers on the ground and be propelled by the nozzle on the end of the hose only.
Shouldn’t this be in GQ?
