Yeah, that did seem a bit insensitive.

Further proof that Russians really don't give a frick.

That scream was the worst part of the whole video to me.

What does that mean? I'm not up on my base jumping lingo.

I thought the snow guy died. Another video of just that one says so in the title.

Knowing that he lived somehow makes it less funny.

That dude that hit the bridge did not survive.

That was the Royal Gorge bridge and I'm almost 100% sure that he died.

Those dudes using wing suits get up to like 180 mph... Hitting anything at that speed and you're dead

Dwain Weston hit the bridge at ab 120 mph and was killed instantly. One of his legs was severed on impact.

There's no money shot in that one. I watch these videos whenever I think that maybe I haven't gone for it enough in my life.

And then I don't feeeeeel soooooo baaaaaaaaaaad.

I'm not the one who downvoted you, BTW.

The scream from the bungee jumping girl sticks in my brain.

Is there any chance the bungee jumping girl at the end who just keeps falling may be fake? I hope so. Not that the others aren't horrible but that seems just crazy. Was the chord not even attached to anything, it didn't appear that it snapped. Also, the guy who looked like he was dressed as Beetlejuice...that video seemed a little off to me.

Yea...no shot that some of those survived contrary to the opening statement. Idiots.



Yea, the "she's got problems dude" woman basically just fell several hundred feet to the ground. No way she lived.

But I guess none of the guys who made the video died, which is what they technically say.

Sleep well tonight, that girl most certainly did not die. That is not a bungee, it's a swing.

The woman in the black and white striped shirt did die though, that happened in Yosemite in 1999. 1:14

Three of those jumps were news stories on the base jumpers deaths.

They all were wearing pads and lived. Does anyone even jump on this board?
