Apparently he didn’t learn the first time and went back for more

    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

    I really don’t get it, you can feel its power when you get to the barrier. This thing reeks of “do not get closer” feeling.

    Yet, that dude decided to kiss it. He could have won the 2023 Darwin award but he was very lucky.

      Sorry I forgot to convert the 500 litres per second

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

      It was around 8:00 p.m. when a man in his twenties broke through the Jet d’eau’s security barrier and put his head on the nozzle. He was then thrown violently backwards.

      After coming to his senses, the young man tried to hang on to the jet. A gesture which earned him to be propelled several meters high before falling on the slab.

      If I’m reading this right, did he get tossed backwards, not learn anything, then decide to go for it again?
