Watch a man jump from twenty five thousand feet with no parachute. It’s intense

It’s worth the 2 minute watch

He jumps at 25000 feet with 3 assistants, with parachutes


Moving at 150 mph, his heart pumping almost as fast, he freefalls



This is a one way trip




His assistants begin to peel off.

His cousin takes his oxygen mask


He can see his target on the ground. Over a mile away



His last assistant opens his chute and pulls away…he is alone

Hurtling towards the ground as it races up to meet him, there is no coming back from failure



The ground rushes up to meet him, a human bullet racing towards an unforgiving earth,



Then, the end comes.

Hushed voices and bated breath as he comes to the most sudden stop































And that, as they say, is that

Im really glad he didn’t just splat on the ground. I’d be so traumatized if I was there and witnessed that

The parachuters peeled off while they were still pretty high. Damn.

Well, that's kind of what I was thinking as I saw the bleachers with well over a thousand people. Were they prepared to watch potential failure?

Evil Kanevil always got crowds. It’s the chance of failure that draws some people.

They probably only saw about 15 seconds

I’ve watched it before, he has to flip to his back right before he hits the net so his spine doesn’t snap in half.
