All this talk about REVERSE thrusters, parachutes and the like.................NAH !!!
You guys are all missing the point, which is
NOT TO SLOW DOWN !!
So fit the rocket thrusters facing DOWN
This will lift you over obstacles enough and then hit the throttle again when you land.
Fuel stops may be a bit dodgy, though.......
You may have to land on the roof
Another alternative is to use car polish on your rims - the dust doesn't stick anywhere nearly as badly.........and it's cheaper than rocket thrusters

Well I have been practicing for well over 30 years at not slowing down Pete ... think I nearly have that right these days mate ...lol
"Fuel stops may be a bit dodgy, though......."
Om thinking about getting this guy to follow me around
, but if he cant? , I will try the polish !!!!

Sheesh TK , I thought I made it quite clear that the oldies on the Ped crossings took there chances mate !!!!
The best they get, is a huge spray of sparks , as me and my new Flintstones ,Titanium lined sole boots go screaming though !!!!
But hey, that bloody big **** anchor might come in handy,? to chuck off the back at the cops screeching after me !!! ...***** !!
thank god it's ....
(although he is in the other thread ...lol ) the end of another bad **** day here !!

I really like this idea. It would have to be a big one so the folks would see you coming. I would suggest you have it facing forward also, it would heighten the experience.

K.E.R.S. Kinetic Energy Recovery System Uses magnets like extra brake calipers, as they engage they produce electricity like a generator, this electricity is stored and then somehow used for a power boost, not sure how it is used though, I am sure someone will have a better explanation. The same sort of system is used on some electric cars to charge batteries through braking.

^^ KERS made me think of something similar.... but opposite.
The Electric Retarder!!
We have them at work on heavy diesel trucks. Perfect for Steve and the 1000F beast. lol..
The electric retarder uses electromagnetic induction to provide a retardation force. An electric retardation unit can be placed on an axle, transmission, or driveline and consists of a rotor attached to the axle, transmission, or driveline - and a stator securely attached to the vehicle chassis. There are no contact surfaces between the rotor and stator, and no working fluid. When retardation is required, the electrical windings in the stator receive power from the vehicle battery, producing magnetic fields alternating in polarity for the rotor to move in. This induces eddy currents in the rotor, which slows the rotor, and hence the axle, transmission or driveshaft to which it is attached. The rotor is engineered to provide its own air cooling, so no load is placed on the vehicle's engine cooling system, and the operation of the system is extremely quiet.
