I would describe that as a "moron maneuver".

Well . . . those people who say that? They really ARE morons.

Of course, skydiving has gotta be safer than that stunt or I'd be dead by now.

That's insane, or stupid, or something.

I guess they were doing that for some kind of documentary. I am ready to pay top dollar for this movie just off of that clip!

Extremely lucky and terribly stupid.

[Arvoitus 1]

That same guy did an indoor jump few days ago from 23 meters (~ 76 feet).

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

[justme12001 0]

is there video of that too?

[Arvoitus 1]

Yes, but as far as I know not on the net. They'll be releasing some sort of video in Feb next year that will have more shots from the river jump and from the indoor jump.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

[Arvoitus 1]

No actually I was wrong, there is at least this video.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

He might have survived. It depends on how you hit the water.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

[justme12001 0]

was thinking along those same lines! Maybe broken?? but I definitely think that would be a survivable landing.

Why?

Would you feel differently about it all if the well planned jump was performed by some big shot stunt man sponsored by Red Bull and filmed from a thousand different angles with $60,000 cameras?

There have been crazier jumps that practically receive unanimous plaudits, so I'm just curious to hear the thoughts behind all the various "hater" perspectives given in this thread.

I mean, I could understand all the naysay if it was some inexperienced drunken asshole with a death wish who just decided to fly his bike off a cliff whilst blasting Metallica, but that's not the case here...

[SkymonkeyONE 3]

getting line-stretch five feet off the deck is not what I consider "well thought-out"; it's "sport death" . Deploying high enough to get a fully-open and functionally-flying canopy that you can fly to a safe landing is what I consider "plausible, not-too-stupid, and worth of posting on the internet in other than the "sport death" category. Jumping a round with no diaper would have made much more sense in those two near-catastrophic videos. Thank god for the crash pad at the low demo. No amount of sponsorship money, or lack of money, changes my perception of what I consider reckless and borderline suicidal.

I appreciate your reply...and though I don't necessarily think that the jump was stupid nor moronic, I can agree that it might be somewhat reckless/borderline suicidal and that it may be better if such extreme feats remain private...but I did appreciate it on a certain level.

I understand its a base rig, but anybody notice the risers hooked up backwards?

Man, he had like a 1 second canopy ride.

I liked how he smiled and said he wouldn't do that again; that it was "stupid."
