The propulsion of those bottles is pretty great. I did that in high school with bottle rockets - aire pressure and water and we'd get the bottles at least 50M in the air... great fun!

The thing is the thrust may only be at take off, so if he spins in mid air it might not throw him off course. Still smells fishy.
