Prove this wrong, /sci/.
You can't.

My friends and I do this all the time, saves a lot of money on air fare.

Theoretically possible, but the amount of energy required to sustain the bootstrapping would be unfeasible.

>> No.8890824

is this possible in very low gravity?

>> No.8890834

>>8890824
No, because of Newton's 3rd law.

You don't even need 2 people.

Just pull yourself up with 1 arm, then pull yourself higher with the other arm like you're climbing a ladder. Birds do this all the time when they flap their wings.

1.draw the force diagram
2.realize how retarded you sound
3.fuck off for good

This would require a denser atmosphere and less gravity. You would need to essentially "push" off of the air below you in order to lift someone up. It would be like a double jump from jak 2.

My friend broke his neck when we did this, would not recommend
