Pat Riot Posted July 22, 2020 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, heās definitely nuts.Ā

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted July 22, 2020 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.

Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted July 22, 2020 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.
Finagler 6853 Life Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 He needs more to do, like a job or a second job where he doesn't have time to think up crazy stuff like this.
Deacon Henry, SASS #53503L Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 That was wild. You folks that jump any idea the altitude he hit?Ā

Chicken Rustler, SASS #26680 Posted July 22, 2020 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!

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.Ā
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Only nuts!? Ā Thatās gotta be the understatement of the year! Ā Seamus
Deacon Henry, SASS #53503L Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Thank you AZ Gunfighter it sure did look high up!
Cat Brules Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 If the guy had fallen off the sofa from āaltitude,ā I believe he would have died. He didnāt fall, so his bizarre stunt worked out to be funny.Ā Ā Cat Brules
