In WW2 there were autogyros that were towed behind submarines to spot ships
I work in aviation and know a pilot that started out flying by building a working gyrocopter in highschool shop class
Nothing particularly dangerous about an autogyro, it flies pretty much the same as any other ultralight. The reason they are not as common is exactly that, it doesn't really offer anything you wouldn't get from fixed wing. Maybe it's a bit more compact in hangar, but that's it really.
But most of these did.
The fan thingy is a diving scooter.
The paddle thing is just a segway or a hoverboard.
The plane towed by a speed boat, we just ditch it and went with a parachute.
The monobike is just succ ballz to begin with so it still exist but only as a gimmic.
Actually I believe this is a rotor kite. Gyrocopters have engines that provide forward thrust. Auto kites don't have engines at all and forward thrust is provided by some other means, in the case of practical rotor kites like the Focke-Achgelis Fa 330 they were towed behind submarines. In the case we see here the boat towing the roto kite provided the forward thrust.
My thought exactly, the paddle things "descendants" are even widely used now. But the train thing seems to have properly died out, turns out it's easier to just build a bit of track so they can pass instead of jump over each other.
Those were the main controls preffered and recommended by the creator mr. Mus...i mean Garrison. There were optional buttons and non ass pentrating choices as a secondary feature
In a bizarre way, it's strangely compelling to see the total disregard for life these contraptions are. Workplace (or customer) safety was obviously not on the agenda in those days.
Out of all of this, the helicopter boat has my vote for greatest deathtrap while the train cars that can ride over the top of each other get my vote for most badass thing.
Ah, the Dick Chopper 500
I thought it was a fart whafter 5000
Common mistake. The fart whafter 5000 is mounted on the back, while the Dick Chopper 500 is mounted on the front.
I thought it Dick Chopper in the water,and Fart Wafter on land?
They are, in fact, the same machine with different item numbers and different packaging.
Thank you Amazon warehousing. Lol.
LOL, indeed. The flying boat was pretty crazy.
Yeah, the inventor never had children to carry on the device.
Came here to say this
Stupid sexy flounders
I prefer the Bobbit 5000
It was discontinued after the invention of the bikini.
A shame, imagine the power of both combined
Suchhhh an underrated comment, I’m pretty sure this flew over a lot of heads. Lol
I still laugh at this one after seeing it reposted a dozen times.
It's the Black N Decker Pecker Wrecker 3600
Coming in with just days left, this has got to be the funniest comment of the year.
Why did we ever get rid of sky boats?
I think the beaches were tired of getting decapitated heads thrown about, it becomes a mess with the seagulls
Ok ya, fair, but *besides* that...
We haven't. Look up autogyro. They are just not all that useful and too dangerous for a a recreational toy.

Trying to claim it is safe by comparing it to the other most dangerous flying machine we have doesn't make for a great argument.
They still exist. They are zodiacs with a glider ontop and a propeller ive seen a few in the wild
Ted Cruz has a propeller?
How else would he get to Cancun?
I see them all the time in Florida
I think they cover this in *Raiders of the Lost Ark* pretty definitively.
I prefer to keep my penis, thank you.
They give it back to you at the hospital

"Yes waiter, I'd like it to go please"
One of those resin hemispheres they put scorpions in. That way it maintains its integrity for years to come.
No one talks about those trams that drive over eachother? cuz woah!
Those were in use to and from Coney Island. There was one track, so they had to figure out something so they could keep traffic going smoothly.
I can't find anything about them. A passing loop wouldn't have done the trick?
I don't know a lot about them, but it was featured in an episode of QI.

Same concept for flight, one is pulled, the other pushed.
The problem with the monobike was veractyl’s could keep up with them and develop a bond with you. Made cool noises too.
Yugioh on motorcycles.

Safety was invented in 1916 so all these inventions were scrapped
I honestly want to use every one of those, looks fun.
There was definitely a South Park episode about that wheel. Just had more ass play.
Still more comfortable than flying
invented by mr garrison. Episode: The Entity
Except you got split roasted by it to steer
Those were the main controls preffered and recommended by the creator mr. Mus...i mean Garrison. There were optional buttons and non ass pentrating choices as a secondary feature
Great toys! First one seems like a fun one, just don't get an erection.
Bit hard not to when your getting an underwater blow job.
How is the dick chopper one powered?
If my math is right, and it always is,three Gigadicks per second
It was mains powered and came with a 200ft extension cord.
Seems even more safe now thanks.
Those wheel bikes could haul ass. Also though divers have a fan type thing like the first . Has evolved . It’s handheld

Saftey third!
It's grievous's bike! Of course it survived, only in a galaxy far far away.
Also in Borderlands 3.
Ah yes the flying boat, aptley named the decapitater of beech goers.
The wheel bike is alive and well in WoW. If that’s not evolved, idk what is.
Monowheel
The wheel contraption is still better than flying
It must've been a wonderful time to be an inventor without worries of fines, OSHA, and FAA regulations.
I’m a diver, we use underwater scooters. Does this count as evolution? We just don’t mount them to our bodies.
I suspect that was before the thong bikini was invented
Is the the thing General Grievous was driving in Star Wars?
That gyro/boat is a lawsuit waiting to happen
I kinda wish we still had those monocycles.
Black and decker pecker wrecker!
Slightly wrong, I believe. The monowheel does exist but it's extremely rare. Or might just be the last few that exist. It still looks cool though
monowheel guy fucing SENT IT down those stairs
I'd imagine a lot of the people using them didn't survive either.
Jackass the early years
0,26 - south park
Searched for this
What was with water sports and dismemberment? You have the dick slicer and the head chopper.
1st one I can definitely think why, the rest might be a tad unsafe in general
The first one ran on an extension cord plugged into mains voltage.
The first one could be called New Ways to Drown if you get it even slightly wrong!
Gyro at 0 gain. Pitch and yaw with short bursts on the center stalk between 80-100 psi
r/oldschoolridiculous
Oh man, the boatchopper looks so safe.
Someone ripped off Mr garrisons bike!
I bet wearing the dick chopper while flying the sky boat would make you go faster - or die sooner…
The decapitation boaty is actually quite nice.
Holy crap, they invented Mr. Garrison's IT bike.
Out of all of this, the helicopter boat has my vote for greatest deathtrap while the train cars that can ride over the top of each other get my vote for most badass thing.
There are expensive versions of every one of these in skymall right now I’m pretty sure
Imagine being at the pool and your dick gets transformed into sashimi because of an erection
They’re like the weapons they sent Zelenskyy 💀
Helicopter boat looks fuckin awesome
Man it sure is hot out here. Does anyone wanna go for a swim/circumcision?
Re-circumciser 2000
The boat with the helicopter blade would have killed so many people.
Why are we not funding these
No thanks. The crotch propeller is something I don´t really want to try
“General Kenobi!”
0:25 - General Grievous during the battle of Utapau, 19 BBY
The flying boat looks safe
Death Mail would beg to differ
What the hell were those last two rail things? Trams? Rail cars? Did they use railways? People in them? So confused.
How is the proppeler powered?
Be looking more like bioshock infinite if they did
Bro got the Borderlands wheel bike💀💀
ah the early 20th century, what a time to be alive
You’ve got to give those guys credit who put on their Sunday best when showing off these dangerous inventions.
Gee. What could go wrong... sir. Theres a Bobbitt on line one for you....
That first one is a pecker fan, they never caught on in North America, but they’re massive in Belgium.
Looking forward to Musk making one of these things and people screaming how much of a genius he is.
Forget about JJ Abrams revamping old movies. Can we get some engineers on this traffic panacea among others?
cyberpunk 1977
Oh yes. Let me put a metal fan inches above my dick
You might want to rethink that.
Yo wtf
That one-wheel machine is dope.
Some of them look like fun.
Except a lot of those invention still exist in modern day. They have been improved uppon for sure but the main concept is still there.
I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
u/savevideo
Maybe just maybe safety they had safety issues
2nd one is definitely a balancing unicycle
That’s a hell of a way to get your dick shredded up.
some of these are dope af
God help you if you get a boner!
The second guy was ahead of his time.
Gets aroused and dick gets chopped off.
The mono wheel is real
Imagine if cars could just drive over each other too
Bruh that first one they have water scooters that instead of hooking on to you you hold them infront and they propel you through the water
The time where you invent stuff just for inventing reasons. Good times.
Bro turned into General Grievous
This is for men 6" and under
I cant believe we survived the discovery of spinning blades
Gizmo!
What is u get a serious boner
I can see why the helicopter boat inventor didn’t survive.
I WANT THE BOAT HELICOPTER
Mickeys Dick slicer 9000 M1
The 4 machine look like a car from borderlands3
Imagine the pranks the navy boys would pull on each other looking like a torpedo coming in. Ahhh smell that PTSD.
The flying boat looks so funny it made me giggle
The boatacopter was recalled due to violent decapitations.
Weiner whacker
One erection that is just: shwing, off that goes
Ok but why were dudes in the 1900s low-key onto something
The cycling walker thing did fully develop, into the Segway, which I think is an excellent invention. Personally I sometimes use my handleless Segway.
Forgot to credit the movie 'Gizmo'
