Accidents happen. Will only be a matter of time before one of them gets caught out! Unless they are very very lucky!

Reminded me of these nutters

Least that idiot has got a parachute on his back.... I think they may have been base jumpers anyway. Still got to be insane to get involved in that kind of stuff.

That's his backpack not a parachute!

My money is on a stunt chute mate, they are very thin and made to look like back packs. They use them in movies to make it look like their is no chute. The stunt is already crazy enough without having extra weight on the back, there would just be no point wearing it whilst doing that unless it was a chute.

Might be wrong though, I guess we'll never know unless his post motem appears online.

 

[GreyWing]

Did a bit of research, the first guy was wearing one and the second as you said wasn't.

Also the cameraman fell to his death a few days later whilst trying to film the same thing. It was only a matter of time, but 3-4 days seems a bit short to brag about it, you'd want at least a week after doing that.

What a waste of life! I dont see why people take risks like that, once its done there is no coming back!

 

[edo]

That pull-up one is insane. Although I clearly wouldn't do it myself, I do respect people who take such crazy risks. We're all going to die...but they choose to do so in style! PS Parachute or not, I can't see it helping from that height.

I admire people who do dangerous "sports" where skill is involved, but I have no sympathy for idiots climbing tall structures and pissing about, if they fall and die, tough.

700ft is plenty for a chute to open mate, they do these crazy base jump things from as low as 100ft.

I have searched this one on the net and even though the first guy has a chute, the second is certainly not as the guys on here have said. Not only that but can't even find anyone on the net that considers it to be fake, that's pretty hard to find something like that. Wow that makes it more real than the moon landings and 9/11.

 

[newguy]

I mixture of bravery and stupidity. More stupidity I'd say. I felt uneasy watching that.

 

[GreyWing]

No wonder we gave the world cup to Russia..... Equally as mental as the French crane guys.
