I can appreciate the risk here. I've done this on a fun-day thing, and its not for the faint of heart.

Stay tuned for the comedy ending - he doesn't really hurt himself, but the video is quite nerve-wracking.

New underpants, please.......





bet that squirrel's got a headache......

That will never be my view, I hate the thought of flying in less, than a perfectly seviceable aircraft.
this will give me nightmares, now,

What is this big-boys.com site? I keep getting sent links to videos on it but they get blocked by the nanny filter.

Wish I had a video of my second ever skydive, the drogue chute somehow got wrapped around the main canopy. It caused me to land very very hard, I nearly cutaway but decided to stick with it.

Here's an extremely scary video of a BASE jump gone wrong.

WARNING !...quite gory, so you may not want to watch it. The guy survives though but with several broken bones.

Daft bugger....could have bust the camera

Being a student I seem to get these all before they end up on here. Blur (animator) caveman thing will soon be on its very good.

"I'm on the ground now" PMSL.
The groaning on the base jump one just makes you think how much pain he must have been in. The dudes got balls for staying consious.

One question. SOmeone tell me that little white flappy thing was not the emergency/SOS chute. Not what I have seen hang gliders using.

That's the kind of thing where I'd wish I'd fallen just that little bit faster so I wasn't conscious after I landed.
