Title says it all. Some researchers wanted to test the stride reaction time of an insect to find out just how stable having six legs in tripodal alternation really is. So they strapped some jet packs to roaches and fired them off in front of a high speed camera, and the roaches barely broke stride.

Also, another jetroach video.

My eyes bugged out a little bit and then I emitted an amazed chuckle.
