In a recent episode of ‘The Pat McAfee Show,’ Pat McAfee and his team delved into a shocking incident that sent shockwaves through the F1 world. They discussed the potential consequences that could have plagued the stuntman involved in a recent jetpack suit performance. McAfee drew a connection between his desire to fly like an iron man and the possible outcomes of such a mishap, emphasizing the dangers inherent in surviving a crash while still carrying jet fuel and an igniter.

McAfee’s co-host, a former Green Bay Packers player, A.J.
