Daredevils jump from a mountain into a plane

This is odd.:up:

Next time press the "Forward" button instead of "Reverse". ;)

I wish my parents had so much money, I could waste time doing something stupid. It certainly wouldn't be that.
:k_confused:

Some people will do anything to avoid having to deal with the TSA...









<O>

I wonder what makes them "experts", the fact they haven't killed themselves doing it yet?

Pretty much; otherwise, they'd be referred to as "Damn Fools"...







<O>

I'll still call them "stupid fools" (As I go inside a house, set it on fire, and stay and watch the fire grow. :O: )

This is true for any field.

I like adventure and challenges but this, 'feel' not quite right.:Kaleun_Wink:

Nah, that was nuthin' special assuming they wore paraschutes as a safety measure.:down:

There was a guy who jumped off a hot air balloon WITHOUT a chute.

That would have been fine for the skydiver, but planes don't handle even minor collisions well.

Yes, of course. I was only joking about taking maximum risks.

I forgot putting this smiley in my post: :03:

Precisely :yep:

Well, like I said, that applies to all fields.

Firefighters have the equipment and procedures from the ones that came before them, and some of them didn't make it.

SCUBA's the same way, except the US navy basically tossed divers into deep water filled holes and then studied the ones that survived...

Skydiving started from tethered jumps from airplanes (balloons perhaps?). And it evolved from there, to where we have wing suits. Now this particular stunt doesn't have a lot of practical use I can see, aside from mid air plane changes for local commuters :). But I'm pretty sure they were very experienced in their field, and had studied all the safety measures that could be applied here. What worries me are the divers/pilots who aren't as experienced as they ought to be who try this, those would be the non experts.

I'm simply wondering how many if any have come into contact with the propellor blades :hmmm:
