Man Builds Jet Powered Wheelchair

[Khephra]

Giuseppe Cannella had a big surprise for his mother-in-law when he put a jet engine on the back of her wheelchair.

Mr Cannella says the chair can now do top speeds of more than 60mph and has proved the star of a model plane championship during the Bank Holiday.

A model plane enthusiast himself, Mr Cannella has been putting on shows at Barkston Heath near Grantham, Lincs.

"It is just the wheelchair with the engine bolted on the back and steering on the front," he said.

1. Am I the only one who questions the motive of a man who wants his MIL

to go 60 MPH in a wheelchair?

Does that come with an airbag? Oh, nevermind, I get it.
