Hrithik Roshan has performed several crazy stunts in
his film Bang Bang. The recently-released promo shows the actor emerging
from the water on a unusual contraption.It is a water jetpack called a flyboard. It looks like a small snowboard attached to a hose and can propel riders 45 feet in the air. It is used to perform a sport called flyboarding that has gained popularity in the West. Celebrities have taken to it and Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted testing out the device last year while on a holiday in Ibiza.
It is, however, the first time that something like this has been used in Bollywood or Hollywood. Hrithik is the first actor to do a flyboaring stunt in a film. For once Bollywood beats Hollywood.
What is a Flyboard
A board developed by French Jet Ski Racing champion Frank Zapata in 2011. A Flyboard rider stands on a board connected by a long hose to a watercraft. Water is forced under pressure to a pair of boots with jet nozzles underneath which provide thrust for the rider to fly up in the air or to dive headlong through the water.
