Calculate how fast Mike was going
when he hit the ground.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78515878


120 mph
 Quoting: Herbert George Wells


So the impact was non-survivable?

He was probably dead on take off.

Broken neck I'd bet.

The problem with his rocket is that it wasn't wide enough for him to be seated supine inside of it. The initial G forces of launch killed him.

Because his legs were above him, upon acceleration the blood in them would rush to his head, causing him to black out.

I bet the parachute was set up as part of a dead man switch, if he blacked out, the parachute deployed.

I suspect Evel Knievel, used a similar device for the Snake River jump.

The problem with these sort of rockets is that they have almost instant acceleration instead of a gradual one.



That Mad Mike survive a previous launch is remarkable.

Notice at the end, the Nazi scientist inventor didn’t get scooped up by OP Paperclip or the Russians version either, for that matter. Nope. Instead, he de used to move to ARGENTINA, and later in his life, moved back to Germany. How convenient.
