How far-fetched is the idea, to use a propeller or jet engine
(radio controlled type?) to push an in-line skater?

Not far fetched, just very pointless.

Pointless, like Google Groups access to UseNet.

Simply decide if you want digits chopped of by propellor or
scorched of by model jet engine after loosing control and
suffering concusion.

It should be a few laughs if the dudsons peform it or jackass
does it.

Have you ever designed and built anything? Anything to show? No,
of course not. Because your imagination suffers.

In fact, it has been done (by a guy from Australia for one, BTW).
There are videos of others testing it there too.
