There have been many failed attempts at flying? People try to fly all of the time using crazy new ideas, some of them work of course, while others wouldn’t work even with a plane thrown in.

Icarus

Although this one was only a myth it is still a pretty stupid idea it has to be said. Flying high into the air with only wax to hold the wings together wasn’t the best of ideas in the world. Of course his father did say that he shouldn’t go up too high, but did he listen, of course not. This is certainly a really failed attempt on flying.

The Ceiling Fan Man

There was a guy (from the US of course) that actually tried to fly by parting together parts from a ceiling fan and mixing together parts from a humidifier and dehumidifier and tried to fly by jumping out of his bedroom window. So what happened to this guy, well after jumping out of his window he landed in his front garden and broke his arm, the ceiling fan also penetrated his leg, ouch.

Balloons

This has been in many, many programmes and films from Mr Bean in which a baby’s pram is taken up into the air by a lot of balloons to the more recent UP where the entire house is taken away from all of the balloons attached to it.

Well believe it or not this can actually happen if you attach enough balloons to somebody and this is simply due to gravity and it will of course lift you high into the air.

There have been attempts on flying that have worked of course, just like the flying balloons. One of the craziest out there was the worlds first flight. Without this daring event there would be no way on earth we could jet all around the world as we do today.
