Red face Ballistics test

I have already given a reason that confirms/predicts the ballistic results described by Nlump50. Too bad it was deleted. But remember the gardern hose analogy. Attach a small handle and restrict the pressure comming out at the end of the hose. Drop the hose on the ground. The garden hose should dance around and defy the laws of gravity. Anyone care to try to hang on to a 3 inch firehose under significant water pressure? I think you would need help holding the nozzle still. The responsible force in both examples is not Bernoulli, it is LIFT.
