Strange Japanese Air-Powered Jet Pack

What do you get when you strap "several carbonated drink bottles -- filled with water -- and pumped with air using a bicycle tire air pump onto a person's back"? A do-it-yourself jet pack. One of our readers just sent in this strange video, watch after the jump. (Thanks, Brian L) [via CycleSantaMonica]

They had this on mythbusters and they said it could not have been done with just air and water

What the guy before me said... Apparently there is another force (maybe a wire or something), occuring...

I do believe theres some wires there... And I dont think Mythbusters are so good at all... They have some really good episodes but most of them are terrible...

You can SEE its not a smooth arc like a real lift would be its jerky and obviously fake. Mythbusters did this one and it wasn't even close to possible. What idiot would beleive this ?
