Nate Buchanan tries a water jetpack in Barbados for the first time. He gets a safety briefing, learns the jet ski operator controls the power, and manages to reach about 20 feet in the air before coming back down.
Charles E. Bay (Charles E. Bay Bridge jump), near Bridgetown, Barbados.
One dollar.
At least 20 ft in the air (he said he felt like he was at least 20ft).
Nate thought that he was the best, but I'm gonna show him how it's.
Sa.
Today is our first full day on the beautiful island of Barbados, and I'm sure by now we've ruined the surprise with the title and with the COVID photo. But I could not be more excited to go put on a water jetpack. But first, we got to catch the local bus back to Bridgetown. This could be us. All right. Charles e. Bay is where we're going. Charles E. Bay Bridge jump.
There.
Thank you.
The local buses in Barbados.
The local buses in Barbados are super convenient. Yeah. The people are so nice. They come, like, every five seconds down the road. You hop on one, you pay a dollar, and you ride as far as you want. I assume their routes end at some point, but, yeah, between where we're staying and Bridgetown, you just hop on.
Thank you.
This is fun. Wow. I still cannot believe I'm about to put on the jetpack. This is like something I saw on a viral video years ago, never thought I would get to do. And now I'm about to strap one on. I can't believe you're doing it. I have an audience.
You guys next? I think so. Nice. Yeah, we just finished. So rad.
Right, so with this, you have to be maintaining forward momentum. Okay. That motion and that forward movement is the absolute key to being stable on this machine. Okay, how do we do this? This is the. This is the golden question, right? You get into forward flight position. So do what I do. Come this way.
You never want that. However, I control the power from the jet ski, I will never let this happen. I'm feeling much better than I was this morning, knowing that he has the controls, and, like, if I start flying in the wrong direction or just going into a crazy spin, he can just turn the power off, and I'll be okay.
Good luck.
Sam.
That was so much fun. I don't know how high I looked in the camera, but I felt like I was at least 20ft in the air at points. It was way easier than I thought it was going to be, too. He was so right. This is all about staying relaxed. I see how people get addicted to that. He definitely was one of my top 10 guests. It never crashed once, but I'm gonna show him how it's done. How do you feel about that, Nate? I have no doubt he's gonna show me how it'.
One.
Next time you'll be doing that. Get money, baby. Sam.
