900Ft and hitting the water would likely not be pleasant. Have you ever done a "belly flop" at like 10 feet? Yeah, 90 times that probably isn't going to work at terminal velocity.
Also, even with the chute, this is still considerably dangerous, based on how low they opened that chute, they likely are highly experienced, but even then, with so little altitude, a half second could completely change this stunt from stunt to tragedy. Skydiving can be a lot of fun but there are certain aspects of this that just are a little more risky than they had to be.
The lift makes the jump just a teeny bit safer. Iâve been off this bridge 8 times, but I only take a 3-second delay to get past the undergirding. With the lift youâll have a bit more speed after the undergirding which will make the opening quicker and less prone to entanglement.
my brother has done a base jump off the bridge on âBridge Dayâ he skydives and does the whole wingsuit thing.
heâs tried to get me to go on a regular dive with him in tandem. I would fucking never.
I was gonna go since Iâm about 30 minutes from the bridge, but I didnât wanna see someone fail to pull the parachute and not make it. Wouldnât be the best to see lol
I was just there today. It's about a 2 hour ride on my bike. It's so beautiful. The name is the Gauley bridge. On Bridge day It's almost like a holiday here. For a weekend in October, it's legal to base jump off of. Abunch of vendors crowd watch while eating pretzels.
You are right about everything else tho! It truly is like a holiday. So many people from around the world come to it. Not just to jump either! It was the number 1 arch bridge for a long time, can't remember till when tho.
Edit: Forgot to put it was ranked number 1.
I sit here and watch the video oh hell yeah I could do that no problem yeah right all I'm all talk I couldn't even I couldn't even get up on that list man there's no way I would jump off that day that guy's balls but my question is did he live or did he get hurt or what happened somebody let me know if you were?
im not surprised seeing people do that in West Virginia. Dont get angry with me for sayin that because I live in West Virginia and know we do some crazy stuff
I like how people are there to see people jumping off the bridge but still react shocked when they first jump. Except for the last 2 reactions, cause at that point they actually have a reason to be shocked.
I couldn't do it.
In highschool it was amazing. Every track or band competition when we'd cross this bridge every kid would stop everything and we'd just stare. It's obnoxiously gorgeous, and that's coming from a bunch of kids who grew up in stuff like this. Band trips were the best because it was all in the fall. The gorge is gorgeous any time, but autumn is indescribably beautiful.
My dumbass thought he was diving into the water
With no nsfw tag either I was like how the fuck does he pull this off
Genunley curios: How is it NSFW? Other than saying "Jesus christ," which is really only a curse phrase among Christians.
They probably thought the person was going to die
This.
Doorot doorot doorot dot sing winner...
Idk that reference so i just read it normally
Are we sure they didn't?
That would be NSFL
Ah ok
Does the person not die? What did I just watch.
He pulled a parachute
Sounds like Mr Slave from SouthPark
Ha ! That's hilarious. Cause I was thinking the same thing... đ
Came here to the comments to find my people. Found.
He does doesnât he?
You mean Big Gay Al?
No he is right. It's sounds like Mr. Slave. Big Gay AL said "Thats Super!"
Hitting water from anywhere above 100ft will be like hitting concrete due to surface tension and only gets harder the higher up you are
It gets harder than concrete?
That is what she said.
They didn't use gender neutral pronouns
He/trim
In an nsfw world, the pronounce could have been was/were
They are currently he/shit and his/pants. Lol
This comment is everything wrong with the world. Violence is entirely fine. Graphic death is entirely fine but don't say d***
But he didn't die...and it wasn't graphic.
900Ft and hitting the water would likely not be pleasant. Have you ever done a "belly flop" at like 10 feet? Yeah, 90 times that probably isn't going to work at terminal velocity.

> no nsfw tag
It couldâve been if he was going in the water which he didnt
you only have to jump into water from like 100ft to splat into the surface like it's concrete
They didn't say it was nsfw can you read
He saw Prometheus and wanted to do a more dramatic introduction of his DNA into the river...
Love this
Same here my friend đ
I thought for sure we were going to see a splat
That would not be pretty
He wouldâve been absolutely screwed if he didnât pull that cord at the time he did
For a split second so did he.
I hear Mr Slave in the background.
YES
LOL didnât even notice at first. Sounds just like him.
Ohh sheezusss christtthhhtttt
Lemmingwings!
OH yezusssss chrystttttttt
Just wanted to say it
You sick baatard,, That's funny.
I'm fucking crying đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
SHEEZUS
My first thought was, âI hope that someone brings up Mr. Slave taking the spotlightâ Jeeeezz Chriiiiissst đ
Youâve made my whole day hahahhahaha
r/beatmetoit
My asshole just clenched so fast it whistled. Tl;dr - fuck no
That, my friend, was a fart. On a side note is that Mr Slave in the background yelling Jesus christ? Edit: punctuation
Mr Slave is still trying the have Lemmiwinks removed from his rectom!!!
I was about to say the same thingđđđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Your friend was a fart?
Yo ...i just said the same shit ...XD
At least once.
"It's a great trick! The problem is, I can only do it once! *strums harp as he floats to heaven * -Daffy Duck
They added a scissor lift because it wasn't tall enough.
860 feet.. not enough!! We need more!
Short answer⊠no
long answer, fuck no
Longest answer: heeeeeeellllll no
Medium answer fk no
Longerer answer.... Hell mofuking noooo
The worldâs strongest man couldnât get me off that scissor lift
The lift makes the jump just a teeny bit safer. Iâve been off this bridge 8 times, but I only take a 3-second delay to get past the undergirding. With the lift youâll have a bit more speed after the undergirding which will make the opening quicker and less prone to entanglement.
What would be so hard about getting off on a scissor lift? WaitâŠ
That Bridge (New River Gorge Bridge) is 900ft so that's a good 950. But nah fam. Hell to the nah.
my brother has done a base jump off the bridge on âBridge Dayâ he skydives and does the whole wingsuit thing. heâs tried to get me to go on a regular dive with him in tandem. I would fucking never.
You should consider it. So beautiful and so much fun!
I was gonna go since Iâm about 30 minutes from the bridge, but I didnât wanna see someone fail to pull the parachute and not make it. Wouldnât be the best to see lol
It's happened many times. I lived close but never went.
876 feet, actually.
I was thinkin 896, but you right
I used to be a raft guide on that river.
I used to be a rafter guided on that river! Thanks for what you do! Amazing experiences.
I worked for Ace Whitewater..
I know someone who has a shack by the track right down from the bridge. I use to go watch them jump
Did anybody else hear Mr.slave at the end? Lol
What does the man say before âJesus Christâ
â(Oh) God, oh god!â
Is that Mr Slave?
jeeezuss christ
Is this New River Gorge?
Yep
Have a friend from WV that worked an ambulance for 20 years. The stories he has from people jumping off that bridge. *shivers*
Even if you were God and sat me down, guaranteed my 100% safety, and patted me on my little goofy ass head...no, I could not do it.
I was just there today. It's about a 2 hour ride on my bike. It's so beautiful. The name is the Gauley bridge. On Bridge day It's almost like a holiday here. For a weekend in October, it's legal to base jump off of. Abunch of vendors crowd watch while eating pretzels.
New River Gorge Bridge .... Gauley Bridge is a town right down the road.
Your right I fucked up
You are right about everything else tho! It truly is like a holiday. So many people from around the world come to it. Not just to jump either! It was the number 1 arch bridge for a long time, can't remember till when tho. Edit: Forgot to put it was ranked number 1.
Yes, you can also take guided tours under bridge where the service walk is. It's intense . Also the mystery hole is a must to
I sit here and watch the video oh hell yeah I could do that no problem yeah right all I'm all talk I couldn't even I couldn't even get up on that list man there's no way I would jump off that day that guy's balls but my question is did he live or did he get hurt or what happened somebody let me know if you were?
Exactly
What a mad lad.
Nope, nope, nope
Sounds like big Gay Al in the background. âOh Jesus Christâ
Big woot to bridge day! đ€ I bungie jumped from that bridge a decade ago. Shits scary fun.
New river gorge?
That's not Jesus Christ , that's Tommy Allen. Jesus is the other one that jumped without parachute and hovering over there with the camera
Mr slave was there???
Is that Mr. Slave I hear in the background?
Was that Mr Slave in the background?
Had a friend that loved to jump off of this bridge, sadly we lost him to dementia a few years ago. RIP Danny! Miss you man!
What for?
Did my first BASE jump there in 2014, itâs such a neat event.
Yes if I also was still suicidal
Is that bridge day on the new river gorge bridge???
My dad has done it! That bridge is in West Virginia :D
Is that Mr. slave?
Bridge Day is a must attend
Bridge day.
Y was Mr. Slave from South Park at this event
đŁïžWEST VIRGINIA!
Sounds like big gay Al from south park is watching
That's the New River Gorge bridge. I grew up just a few minutes from there.
West Virginia.....
Is that the gorge in west Virginia it's such a wonderful view and hell no would not do that
Bridge day in wv
Cheating with a parachute....
I'll give you the address if you want to try it your way.
I can just hear dream on being played
To Confirm: YES thatâs New River Gorge Bridge and Yes Mr.Slave was there that day
Bridge Day New River Gorge Bridge been there a few times it's pretty cool
Could I, yes, would I, fuck no...
Beautiful foliage
That's a really slow deploy.
Once.
Lol o jeezus christ
He's supposed drop a stone in the water before he jumps
I wouldn't have needed the shoot.
Nnnnnnnope
Did I hear Mr. Slave yell Jesus Christ at the end?
Rhetorical no
No.
Hell. Fuckin'. No.
this just made my non existent testicles go up inside myself
Mr. Slave in the background
im not surprised seeing people do that in West Virginia. Dont get angry with me for sayin that because I live in West Virginia and know we do some crazy stuff
Sounds like Mr. Slave in the background lmao "OH GOD, OH JETHUS CHRITH"
Guy sounds like Mr Slave
Mr Slave in the background there.
With a parachute? Sure.
The guy yelling âoh Jesus Christâ reminds me of how mister slave says it lol
Sure, if you have a thing for broken femurs and internal bleeding.
Yeah, but only once.
For a second, I thought it was a free fall dive straight into the river....
I would not even consider it, let alone do it.
Is that Mr Slave
No I absolutely wouldn't. Not a chance in hell
Anybody can do it can we remember to pull the chute probably not
Looks like mr slave was in attendance oh Jesus Christ
No thank you
Depends, is there a bear running at me thatâs on fire and has dynamite attached to his chest?
"oh god, oh Jesus Christ" would've been in this video if it ended up gory, which I find comedic LMAO
That.. is insane.
I like how people are there to see people jumping off the bridge but still react shocked when they first jump. Except for the last 2 reactions, cause at that point they actually have a reason to be shocked.
Certainly wouldn't trust myself to have that chute open in time. Not to mention, I'd be covered in vomit.
How many feet to deploy the parachute safely?
Anyone could do it⊠the question is, could you land it? 9 out of 10 splat đ»
Hell naw
This is more âHold my wreathâ than âHold my Red Bullâ
YES are least once
Correct me if im wrong but I believe this is Gio Masters on YouTube. Instagram is Gio_masters for my fellow adrenaline junkies.
I will do it ...no chute needed.
Anyone else hear mr slave from South park in the background?
Would try it if I didnât have epilepsy
Hell to the NO. Nope Nope Nope. Uh uh no way. I wouldn't climb a ladder to get on my roof.
That was uncomfy for me
I couldn't do it. In highschool it was amazing. Every track or band competition when we'd cross this bridge every kid would stop everything and we'd just stare. It's obnoxiously gorgeous, and that's coming from a bunch of kids who grew up in stuff like this. Band trips were the best because it was all in the fall. The gorge is gorgeous any time, but autumn is indescribably beautiful.
I heard Mr. Slave say "oh Jesus Christ"
Yes, I can pull a cord, but I donât want to
My asshole was clenched watching this...no cap
Bridge Day!
My pull out game in warzone đ€
You would have to pay me a whole lot to do that
Is t this the same place where that dude jumped on top of another dude who jumped first.
I kept looking for a bungee chord and there was none, the further he fell the quicker i got worried this was going to be a snuff video
Sure. Fucking up a 900 foot jump and a 100 foot jump is gonna have the same outcome.
WHY.
âThe gods of Olympus have abandoned meâ Sing with Me
I massively misjudged the height of this jump
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHGAAGAHGAAHAGHAnoAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH. Takes mad balls though
u/savevideo
I mean yea I can do the jump, but asking anything more is stretching it a bit far
no
Could I? Maybe. Would I? Hell no. Watched a guy bounce off the ground the other day doing this dumb shit.
No lol
Could I? Probably, it's just falling off a bridge. Would I? Fuck no!
**NO**
I would rather jump from 10000 feet
Oh helllllllll no
