Gravity Industries make jetpacks. They're not practical. They're not meant for mass use. But they are a lot of fun. They asked if I wanted to try flying one. Thanks to gravity.co/ - this is not sponsored but, obviously, they did give me a flight in a jetpack.

    I figured out what Tom Scott is. He's a professional tourist in the best way possible.
  • @uamee
    Why does Tom seem to be getting all the best emails? Mine are always about bills being due.
  • @Prohibitorum
    "I think more power will kill me, but lets try it". Now that's SCIENCE
  • @theaidanator
    It’s great how Tom turns into a 5 year old when he’s doing these cool experiences, he’s really just a kid at heart with an amazing job

    Important: If someone on the ground waves to you, do not wave back.

    "I Almost Learned To Fly A Jetpack" sounds like something that would be on a gravestone. D:

    Today, on "I've Got An Email And I Said Yes".
  • @SSSpencer413
    “Hi Tom, we got a Jetpack. Would you like to try and fly it?” is the best pickup line
  • @SunnyGlade
    “This is not a practical form of transit” Flasbacks to pub on a hover craft
  • @MaxJDF
    3 episodes from now: *tom is in a space shuttle* "so NASA contacted me and said hey, wanna go to space?"
  • @thinfourth
    TECHNICALLY could you sell drink from this. Another fact from another Tom Scott video
  • @pinagalaxia
    If experiences were money, Tom would be a billionaire.
  • Gravity has recently teamed up with a british mountain rescue team, this means that a 25 minute hike to a patient can now be completed in just 90 seconds
  • Tom Scott is the best youtuber on the internet: - 2 second intro - Straight into the action - No clickbait - Everything that people want
  • @Cionaoith
    "Hi, we've got a jetpack a-" "Yes." That is how this conversation goes. Every time.
  • @Beebo
    Japanese Jetpack: "Woah, this is so cool! I'm flying!" British Jetpack: "My arms are missing..."
  • @insanejughead
    What a badass... The dude explains all of that to us while still sipping his morning coffee like it's the most normal thing in the world.
  • @catfish552
    It's only a matter of time before someone launches Tom into space.
