Flying with Fire Extinguishers
When I saw the video, the first thing that came to mind was… Japanese MythBusters. If you ever wondered how many fire extinguishers it would take to make someone fly (I use the term loosely), then you’ll want to invest 7 minutes of your life to watch this video. The experiment starts with two extinguishers and eventually increases to an amazing 200. I’m not sure why the two Japanese experimenters didn’t use CO2 fire extinguishers instead of the ABC dry powder ones. Pour a cup of coffee and watch this video…
In the US products like these are sold by fire equipment distributors and fire extinguisher service companies. One such Fire Extinguisher Service Company is NJFireEquip.com.
n the United States, fire extinguishers, in all buildings other than houses, are generally required to be serviced and inspected by a Fire Protection service company at least annually. Some jurisdictions require more frequent service for fire extinguishers.
