Colin Furze (born 1979) is a plumber, stuntman, inventor, filmmaker, and YouTuber from Stamford, Lincolnshire, England. Furze left school at 16 to become a plumber, where he remained until joining Sky1 program Gadget Geeks. Furze uses his plumbing and engineering experience to build many contraptions, including a wall of death, the world's longest motorbike, the world's fastest pram, and a jet-powered motorcycle made with pulsejet engines.
Certain projects he has undertaken have been funded by popular television and video game franchises for promotion, including a spring-loaded hidden blade and grappling hook from the Assassin's Creed franchise, and a bunker underneath his backyard to promote Sky1's television series You, Me and the Apocalypse.
Furze's many contraptions are publicised on YouTube. On 13 March 2010, he uploaded a video of his converted scooter, incorporating a flame thrower that could shoot flames up to 15 feet (4.6 m) in the air. On 25 March 2010, Furze was arrested by Lincolnshire Police, for possessing an object converted into a firearm. He was released on bail without charge the next day. This was Furze's third attempt, as the first did not ignite and the second burst into flames.
