Reminds me of the rocket skates I made as a child. And the buddy who volunteered to try them. Old fashioned metal wheel skates. Three of the biggest Estes rocket motors I could buy from Douglas Models strapped to each. Electric ignitors to fire all six motors at once. Skates took off alright, immediately going out from under him and landing him on his back where the rocket motors burned the shit out of him until he got enough control of himself to roll over and get them pointed away from him.

I miss Douglas Models. Got my first A-10 and F-4 models there when I was a kid.
