Did his brother once "fly" a car with a JATO rocket attached?? And how does he land, on his face and body?? Did he really think this thing out??

He used a parachute, he did it today apparently...and survived!

E60 JATO retrofit anyone?

I saw the TV program yesterday, but I thought this was from several years ago because I remember the news coverage from 2006. Apparently, his first rocket-powered flight was in 2006 but the English Channel happened yesterday. Good stuff.
