new metaphor just dropped

[solitha@mastodon.social]

@cabel So uh... how was that supposed to work, even it went right, without dragging the flag all over the ground in complete disrespect as he landed?

[arcmother@kolektiva.social]

@cabel was this at the stupid trump fair?

[richpuchalsky@mastodon.social]

@cabel

Why would anyone send back out again a skydiver who thought it was a good idea to steer their trailing flag into a tree?

[blogdiva@mastodon.social]

@cabel did this happen in DC?!?!?

[transitbiker@urbanists.social]

@solitha @cabel shhhhhhhh. It was flawless.

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

Sums it all up perfectly.

@richpuchalsky @cabel Moar content.

@cabel why did the cameraman not immediately drop the camera and run to help
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.

@Karen5Lund @cabel I came here to write this

[artharg@mastodon.nl]

@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
