In my high school chemistry class there was a dark smudge on the ceiling that the teacher said happened when he was doing the ol' "bits of sodium in water" demo and the physics teacher came in, saw the size of the sodium bits he was using and called him a wuss, so he threw in a bigger chunk to prove her wrong.
The one in my high school lab came from hooking up the gas burner supply taps to a funnel, using that with soapy water to blow big methane bubbles, then lighting them with a match on a yardstick. It makes a good fire whoosh

Fun fact: if you want to fly your own small airplane by far the cheapest way is to build it out of a kit, because if you don't sell it or give it away, you don't need to do all the big expensive inspections. The FAA assumes that risking your own life is incentive enough to get it right

Anyway this guy did a whole youtube about building his plane, and was finally doing his first long distance flight and encountered a little problem

We got that demo too

He called them "methane mambos", though instead of big bubbles, he let the methane make a soapy foam and would light it on his hand.

Or I'm conflating the methane mambos with another soapy fire demo

From what i understand a lot of countries have similar carveouts for small amateur aircraft, and they're overall only like 2 or 3 times as likely to have accidents as professional built ones so :shrug:

I think you're looking for the ultralights who get a simplified visual rules flying license and pinky swear not to fly over cities and then do anyways and hit buildings.

Experimental aircraft usually just drop out of the sky at take off or landing when the pilot does something right that's wrong on that aircraft, or maintenance catches up.

A youtuber broke his neck, back and pelvis and shattered his right arm after he fell 25m in his paraglider flying at almost 80kmh :stare:
He's relatively okay and posted the footage himself from the hospital. Warning, there's quite some agonized screaming.

So what happened to the parasail? Did it just fail to function and folded up due to excess speed?

Ed: "So what was the cause of this near-fatal accident?

Vella admitted that he missed a small pension knot during his routine checks before he took off, which ended up collapsing the glider while it was in the air."

Now I'm curious if injuries from water impacts became more common after minecraft got popular. They're obviously not the first to give 0 fall damage from water, but teaching people to have a core strategy of deliberately placing water to jump into from infinite height is a little different

Not quite the same thing, but when I was a wee lad I jumped out of my treehouse with an umbrella because I played Lemmings
