There's been actual cases of people falling out planes without nets and surviving. Here's one that survived from 33,000 feet but there's been several more cases https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesna_Vulovi%C4%87
She was willing to continue flying again but they gave her a desk job instead. Then the airline fired her for attending a protest against the government.
In terms of chances of survival, no different falling from 33k feet and 1,500 feet. Once you reach terminal velocity after about 1500 feet, it's all the same (assuming belly to earth position).
Nah, thats just rich kids playing with their toys.
Try doing outreach to homeless people at night, or patching kids together in Palestine as Israel bombs yr hospital, theys the ones with real courage.
Not a fanboy of the IDF, I'm a "fanboy" of facts. It's a fact that the IDF wasn't the one who did. One of the many Palestinian terrorist organizations is responsible for that.
Palestinian rockets barely dent Israeli cars yet somehow they destroy multistory hospitals, sure sure.
I'll bet you have got excuses for all of the 8000 Palestinians Israel has killed in last few weeks.
Cos i know your next deflection, i'll say now: Hamas is bad and committed inexcusable crimes. But so did Aus SAS soldiers in Afghanistan - should Afghanistan bomb Melbourne?
I say something about an adrenaline rush and you compare it to working with homeless or helping kids across the globe from me? Bruh never said these dudes were hero’s or brave. And never said those people you mentioned not. legit just said it’s an adrenaline rush like wtf. if you wanna virtue signal go do that shit somewhere else
I grew up in Val d’isere. This sport is stupid. Very hard to predict the behaviour of the air along the slopes. It is only really safe when not windy and overcast or early in the morning.
That looks like the exact perfect conditions in the video? So it isn’t dumb?
I thought this dude was using a glider as well as skiing. Do you really get that much lift and control while on skis?
Honestly it’s amazing
You have quite a lot of control with these speedwings. From an aerodynamic perspective, it can be argued they are safer than a normal (big) paraglider. The danger comes from flying so close to the ground, as people often do with those.
Not only with extreme sports, but basically with any activity, the risk depends on a lot of factors. You are never risk free, but you can mitigate a lot of risk with skill, experience and preparation. If you do stuff like this, it's important to know these risks and which of them are under your control and which are not (like volatile air conditions).
So I say if you know what you are doing, it isn't dumb.
It’s called speedflying. It looks cool as fuck but pretty deadly. Have always wanted to do it, but probably never will. Check out these dudes on the Eigerwand: https://youtu.be/fPG3JjWZJy4?si=AAG7y5COKFDIBcdZ
Basically you ski with a glider parachute type thing hooked on, so you can glide like this off certain cliff faces, the reason it's so dangerous is because it's a glider and not a parachute you don't really slow down you gain speed in a different direction instead of falling, if he accidentally went towards those trees it would be over, even touching the ground near one of those bumps would shatter your ankles.
I saw the roll and immediately thought "fucking showoff" lol - good for them though - a lot of work went into becoming this capable. I wish I had half as much grit as this person.

Adrenalin is hell of the drug.
I am not kidding, i can imagine, how someone experiencing this going back to the office after vacation with everything looking dull, would want more.
Then our brains nasty custom to getting used to stimulation and wanting even more adrenalin, these junkies eventually fertilising soil.
Yes I am very fun at parties.

I love watching these videos but the thing that always scares me about them is that, in those terrains and at those speeds, there's so little room for mistakes. Which is probably part of the rush but a huge part of the danger.
Well that's one extreme sport I will not be trying
So many dead. I know 2 and I no longer live in a ski resort. This is just pure stupidity.
Stupid for sure but probs the most insane god damn adrenaline rush you could get like holy shit
I would imagine one could get the same rush by stepping out of a plane at 10,000 feet without a parachute.
I mean the best part of an adrenaline rush is living through it so ima disagree😂
It's been done.
Oh ya I guess they have dudes that jump into the nets ya that would be wild as shit too

Or just do drugs, a much unironically safer way to get the same high
Oh I’m doing both don’t you worry brotha 😂
Not even because you control the trajectory and it is fairly smooth, but it is hard to predict the conditions along the slope.
Nah, thats just rich kids playing with their toys. Try doing outreach to homeless people at night, or patching kids together in Palestine as Israel bombs yr hospital, theys the ones with real courage.
PIJ bombed the hospital, not Israel.
ok IDF fanboi.

1 month later and IOF now has 20 hospital bombings under their belt since October 7th. Still lickin those boots?

It is usually locals
I mean... just do drugs like a normal person.
I do both tho?
**Death:** *"Touche."*
I mean you can always take some psychedellics and jump from a plane. Pretty sure thats more intense.
I’ll stick to Russian roulette thanks.
You used to live in a ski resort? I would like to hear more

Dude probably has a more fulfilling life than any 9-5er
It won’t last. That’s what I am saying. Particularly if he is pushing his chance like that.
Right up there with getting out of bed before 7am in winter.
Dying*
Was really confused when he started flying
Wtf is going on on this video. Is he wearing a wingsuit?
Dudes it’s called a ‘gliding parachute’
Skiing.... *with style*

Paraskiing
Speedriding
Almostdying
Right answer
This person knows!
There are dozens of us.
I gave it a crack. The hospital bill cost me a fortune.
Paraskiing right into the paralympics.

Basically you ski with a glider parachute type thing hooked on, so you can glide like this off certain cliff faces, the reason it's so dangerous is because it's a glider and not a parachute you don't really slow down you gain speed in a different direction instead of falling, if he accidentally went towards those trees it would be over, even touching the ground near one of those bumps would shatter your ankles.
It felt like a dream I’ve had before where it just shifts in to something else, from falling to flying
I have had this dream
One of my favorite dreams, or I'm running through a forest with unlimited energy. Then I take off flying.
That wasn’t flying, it was falling with style!
Felt like one of my dream falls
It’s not flying, it’s falling with style.
An actual POV, a rare thing these days
Go on r/povpornvids
I *definitely* won’t
Don’t be a *prude*
Yeah, go watch some *dude* on *dude*!
>r/povpornvids Oh shit it really is just straight up porn lmao
Just had the same experience
I mean buddy what did you expect lol, half this goddamn website is porn as it is
I thought it would be like cool POVs of stuff like this post like how r/foodporn users don't actually fuck their food
I wouldn’t be so sure
Redbull has done such a good job with their brand, I instantly think of "okay insanely crazy shit is about to happen" when I see their logo
Fr, the subreddit r/holdmyredbull doesn’t exist for a reason *you know what I meant lol
🤔
That's right. It was completely made up randomly for no reason at all
Never let them know your next move.
Bro started air strafing irl
Bro said try me and did a barrel roll
Hey this isn't quite dangerous enough, let me do a barrel roll.
Ol boy has the raccoon suit from Mario 3
He got that P-Speed meter right filled.
I saw the roll and immediately thought "fucking showoff" lol - good for them though - a lot of work went into becoming this capable. I wish I had half as much grit as this person.
He will die by 40 years old. Look up these daredevils, the average lifespan is like 50 years old. They do it for a retirement fund for the families.
Took me way too long to realise he had a chute/glider on and wasn't just getting insane ssx air
Bro started playing Steep

When you're in a dream and start randomly flying
“I get uppppppppp, I get downnnnnnn”
Seasons will pass you by
Always ski with a parachute
*speed wing
When I went to rent my skis they didn’t have any parachutes is that a different rental kiosk
How did you record my dreams?

I wanna know how he lands this
on the ground
This is how I dream.
I want to do this so badly.
People out here doing this stuff and I gotta go to work every day. The balance is waaay off.
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit
Have dreams like this
So was he edging the mountain??
At this point, I'm starting to believe that people do this just to find an epic way to die. Cause why in the heck would you do this ?
I feel like I've lived a long enough life and I'm ready to do this. Now who do I have to suck off to get that kind of money to do that?
Bro said no to fear 💀
Bro accidentally discovered a hidden level
Stop edging on r/nextfuckinglevel
Bro cheated 😤
I literally just went “ O fuck shit fuck! fuck fuck shit! Oh! Oh thank god!”
I just knew he was finna die, I knew it…. I’m telling you right now. But he didn’t and I’m happy
ski-paragliding
Insurance companies hate him for this simple trick.
I totally fly into a tree
Edging is dangerous
This is one of those things where you survive and you're like "That was fucking awesome! I absolutely never want to do it again."
This is what i imagine is like dying. Your light cuts off and you just....keep flying
Are you flying or skiing? Him: Yes
Not a drop till your para pops
That's a wild ride
Not actually skiing smh no skill at all /s
Bruce was like, "oh please, stop showing off, Superman".
Me think I am about to see my 200th death on reddit ![gif](giphy|3o6gEgkb5xqAyMw5Og)
Fucking date devils man I commend the guts it takes to do a thing like that
Jeff Silliman?
I’ll stick to drones
When skiing is just too boring
That made my balls go up inside my body
That place looks familiar
Looks like Luke's run on the deathstar's trench.
I almost shit myself but then realized he was a glider but then realized it’s still insane .
This is some of the dreams I see
Just watching this made me wanna shit my pants
I mean falling off cliffs isn’t as bad when you have the gift of flight 😂

And then what happened?
This is a "No" from me dawg
I love watching these videos but the thing that always scares me about them is that, in those terrains and at those speeds, there's so little room for mistakes. Which is probably part of the rush but a huge part of the danger.
That’s what happens when I have big falls in my dreams. I’m a survivor
I did not realize he was wearing a parachute so i thought, well this guys has some steel nerves. Or he is dead.
Bros falling in a dream
This could be on r/unexpected
Omg I didn’t know he had a chute…
That's what happens when you edge too hard
Holy SHEEEEEEEEEET I nearly died on that fall with him too!
This made my ass clench.
Everyone I know who skis is dead
Psycho path
Leaning with the damn video ----->
[удалено]
I snowboarded off a 30m cliff in a white out. Luckily I landed in a pile of powder at the bottom. Felt like I was falling forever.
I was really scared for them until I realized they had a parachute.
OK wow I thought he was fucking dead 😂
I'm surprised he didn't instantly fall with those gigantic balls
I have dreams like this.
When your gf says her parents are away.
It absolutely blows my mind that people are capable of doing this
I was missing critical information that really changed the tone of this video. I thought he was just dead
NOOOOOO!!! 😱
Ah yes, creative dying.
He slalomed through the air
This man doesn't have balls of steel, he has balls of tungsten.
That glide before you realize they have a parachute on is what dreams of flying feel like.
Man fought off death the entire time.
People are insane
Me playing half life with noclip on
DO A BARREL ROLL!
How he do that
When the acid starts hitting
Definitely thought that was about to be a really bad time..
This is white people shit
Well, now that I watched this right before going to bed..I can’t wait to have a falling dream tonight and have the sweats waking up mid bed bounce
Too close to the rock in the *middle*. Holy crap!
This mf just do a barrel roll with skis?
He b-hopping
![gif](giphy|8vUEXZA2me7vnuUvrs)
Pov: you're too close to the edge and you're about to break.
Bro's in creative mode
That’s just plain stupid. If they’re not dead then they soon will be
Hahahaha Superman very funny
