Proving that people can always find brand new ways to accidentally kill themselves, some guy in England decided that
it was a good idea to strap a jet engine to the back of his mother-in-law's wheelchair. He's been able to rocket the
thing up to sixty miles per hour, but we have this sinking feeling that sooner or later he might find himself in need
of a wheelchair of his own.

Or am I the only person brave enough to say he's seen Freddy Got Fingered? (In case you're lucky enough to have missed that wonderful piece of cinema, there's a rocket powered wheelchair in it).
Matt, you beat me to it.
Freddy Got Fingered was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this story!
So there was electric wheelchairs now there's jet powered what'll they think of next.
Fusion powered.
Hehe
