Stupid Attempts To Fly

There have been many failed attempts at flying? People try to fly all of the time using crazy new ideas, some of them work of course, while others wouldn’t work even with a plane thrown in.

Icarus

This one is only a myth but who on earth came up with the stupid idea in the first place. Flying really high into the air with feathers put together from wax is really not the best idea to take on. Being any normal son he didn’t listen to his father and he took to the skies, higher and higher. A failed attempt at flying that is for sure.

The Ceiling Fan Man

There was a guy (from the US of course) that actually tried to fly by parting together parts from a ceiling fan and mixing together parts from a humidifier and dehumidifier and tried to fly by jumping out of his bedroom window. Well as you can imagine it all went a bit wrong for this guy, he ended up breaking his arm and the ceiling fan messed his leg up a bit.

Balloons

This has been in many, many programmes and films from Mr Bean in which a baby’s pram is taken up into the air by a lot of balloons to the more recent UP where the entire house is taken away from all of the balloons attached to it.

To lift a house it would take millions upon millions of balloons but it would certainly work, it has to be tested soon surely.

Of course there have been many crazy attempts on flying that have actually worked just like the balloon one. The craziest yet most important one was the worlds first ever flight. Without someone being stupid there would be no way we would be able to jet all over the place as we do now.
