Anybody gonna watch this idiot jump from a plane without a chute tonight?

Coverage on Fox starts at 8et.

I see the note that says the board will be down starting at 9pm. Gonna be frustrating if this dude burns in and we can't chat about it.

 

[NavetG8r]

Hell no I ain't watching it. I don't wanna watch some idiot go splat.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

It will be on a tape delay, so you won't see the splat on Fox.

I see they are forcing the fool to wear a chute. Lame.

what was the deal? How was he supposed to land safely w/o a chute, what's the gimmick?

 

[oxrageous]

They've got a 20-story high net set up, that's about a third the size of a football field. He has to jump from 25,000 feet and land in it.

Mercifully, I will miss this.

I keep switching back between Benjamin Button and this nut job/...................he says the chute will mess up his landing on the net. I was thinking what if he hit one of the poles Now that would be a highlight. Anyone see the damn hot air balloon news? 16 died when they hit the power lines. They have people in bleachers watching this sh#t ...................They just said he DOES not have to wear the chute. and taking it off.........the plot thickens

Safer than a hot air balloon

He's friends with a buddy of mine who has over 30k jumps and a world record. They used to be on a team together.

Football season can't get here soon enough.

Would've been a great Darwin Award nominee. Probably would've won, too.

 

[NavetG8r]

Looks like he didn't go splat. Guess Darwin wasn't so smart after all.

 

[stephenPE]

He made anything Evel Knievel did look pedestrian. You could see him practicing flipping over as he went down and not long before he landed.

Here's the video, for those who missed it. My question is, why wear a helmet? Not like it would help any.

They helmet would keep him from hitting the plane or fellow jumpers and knocking himself out right off the bat.
