Shortly after impact, ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes was pronounced dead at the scene.

After that, it was pretty guaranteed that his fate was sealed. So, what went wrong? – Well, as you can see in the video below, upon launch his parachute deployed and detached from his rocket. I would, however, urge you now to remember that he died in this accident and, as such, if you can try and keep your amusing comments to yourself, we would appreciate it! Regardless of if he was a flat-earth theorist or not, he was undoubtedly a very brave person! I mean, if I didn’t, you’d only probably go looking for it anyway.

Now, after some consideration, I have decided to include the video of his rocket accident below. Particularly considering that this was entirely a homemade design.Īnd there he goes!!! #MadMikeHughes blasts off from #Amboy 03-24-17 /CrA0C9PEI0- Matt Hartman MaWhat Went Wrong? Let’s face it, the mere mention of it in our title probably grabbed your attention, didn’t it?Īs you can see in the video below, however, he had attempted rocket launches in the past and with a lot of success. He likely just used it as a device to obtain some popularity. Generally spending his career as a daredevil (and holding a world record for a limousine jump), we should note that he was probably not really a flat earth theorist. ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes – Not as Crazy as You Might Think!
