Love the Alpha Murica-male's scream: "YU-EAH!" at 0:06, followed up by: "OH SHIT!"

Sums it all up perfectly.

a tacky failed parachute is still a failed parachute

Long may she wave.

@cabel apparently the jumper got away relatively uninjured, but that had to sting.

[dazzr@social.tchncs.de]

@cabel Ouch, that was close. Apparently the tents did slow his impact and saved his neck.

Gravity sucks, and physics always wins. Be careful when doing something stupid.

@richpuchalsky @cabel Maybe people will pay to see that show again.

@cabel just imagine the stench coming out of that girl with jeans shorts and Texan boots. A truly aromatic fashion statement.

[karen5lund@mastodon.social]

@cabel Oh, you meant dropped. Literally dropped.

@anselmschueler @cabel The parachute didn’t fail. It gave lift to the end. It’s the weight on the parachute that got caught in the trees. That turned a linear descent into a circular slamdown.

[megatronicthronbanks@mastodon.social]

@Pinnebaer @richpuchalsky @cabel I would pay that ticket

[klausfiend@mstdn.ca]

@cabel Between that and the pissing convention elephant, it's a bumper crop this year.

@cabel You’ve made my day.
