One of the Gravity Jet Suit pilots was forced to ditch into the water for a second time at the Bournemouth Air Festival.
Following a similar incident on Friday evening, this time pilot Richard Browning ended up in the water during Saturday's display.
Richard of the Jet Suit team ditched into shallow water. He is up and looks okay. We will try and have a chat with him soon for some full details. #BmthAirFest @Bournemouthecho pic.twitter.com/iOS0r6tfeL

He was able to get out of the sea unaided and appeared to be uninjured by the incident.
It comes after the second pilot did the same on Friday night.
#Innovation is about not being afraid to learn from failure - this is how you push boundaries, looking forward to flying @BmthAirFest tomorrow 👍🏼 pic.twitter.com/v4m3e7QITT
