I see the jet quite often and think "Wonder what would happen if you jumped in that"

Thanks to this daft cunt, I know now

I mean the jet is about 140m / 460ft high, to give you an idea of how powerful it is

Edit - corrected numbers, thanks!

140m high and 200km/h or 500 liters/second. Close look on YT for the non GVA people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmt9GQSCcCU

Sorry I forgot to convert the 500 litres per second

You guys over the pond, that's 2.28 washing machines per second
