German, Hamburg-based advertising agency Kolle Rebbe has come up with a series of funny print advertisement for fitness center Kingdom of Sports entitled ‘Fat Can’t Hide’.

During this segment of the competition, pilots were given eight minutes to open five beer bottles with an opener tied to the helicopter’s skid. Although this may sound ridiculous, it does take a lot of finesse to even open one, as the video below shows.
