Pat Riot Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I ride a motorcycle. I think that guy is nuts. Not sure if I am qualified to cast aspersions after some of the crazy stuff I have done in my life... No, he’s definitely nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I wonder what television show was on. It must have been important, because he tuned in while para-gliding, snacking, and filming with the selfie stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Sorry but there ain't enough booze in the world to make me do that, and believe me after a few (lot) of drinks I did some really stupid stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Rustler, SASS #26680 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I remember a story about a guy who strapped himself into a lawn chair and attached a bunch of heavy duty helium balloons, when he got ready to come down he did it by shooting out some of the balloons with a BB gun. This was better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but at that altitude the fall would not have killed him... It would have been that violent, sudden stop at the end that would have done him in...

I used to jump, and it looks like he reached an altitude of about 5,000 to 6,000 feet AGL. Pretty cool stunt, but I didn't see any reserve chute anywhere, and it probably wouldn't have helped if he had one. Most people who paraglide don't wear reserves.

Cat Brules Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If the guy had fallen off the sofa from “altitude,” I believe he would have died. He didn’t fall, so his bizarre stunt worked out to be funny. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
