Red Bull: Red Bull Flugtag
built 281 days ago
The first Red Bull Flugtag took place in Vienna, Austria, in 1991. Since then, more than 35 Flugtags have been held around the world — from Ireland to San Francisco — attracting up to 300,000 spectators. The record for the farthest flight-to-date currently stands at 195 feet set in 2000 at Flugtag Austria. The U.S. record stands at 78 feet set in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2004.

The belief that Red Bull gives you wings (... called "Redbullwingageism") is a central tenet of hundreds of religions throughout the world. However, the company that produces Red Bull has tried to discourage the myth its drink can cause you to take, has sponsored Redbull Flugtag, an event in which people jump off high towers in an attempt to show they can fly after drinking Red Bull. Of course, those who jump off the towers without some kind of glider fall 40 feet into the water below and prove that Red Bull does not cause you to fly. In some recent cases, however, people have developed wings. However, the dosage required is extreme and the wings are cancerous.

Red Bull has just posted code on their Flugtag USA website allowing the Flugtag Game to be embedded on MySpace pages. If you’ve been to a Flugtag before, the game will make sense to you. Visit the Flugtag USA Game web page, then click on the “MAKE YOUR GAME CODE” button just below the game.
