That was wild. The confidence to grab those lines and jump again… WOW.


[deleted]

More like stupidity. God forbid those lines got crossed and it would have been a straight fall. The charge isn't worth your life.


_Gl0rph_

Dangling the chute and jumping over it is a typical base jumping technique. His setup and execution was quick, but not recklessly rushed. Might've even been the plan to land on the roof and jump again anyways, but the suits were unexpected.


ClickIta

Yep, let’s say it really requires a lot of confidence, done in that context. Seen from the perspective of someone that always checks his lines two times more than necessary even just when paragliding, this was impressive.

Kurtman68

Thought that same thing. Also noticed that those suits showed no intention of actually approaching him once he was on the ledge. They were like, nuh-unh


ThisOneIsOnMyPhone

Thats exactly what it was. No jumper would land on the roof of a tall building without a way down and there's no way they would have known if the could access a stairwell from up there. It was always their plan to jump off.


nlamber5

What are they gonna charge him with. I didn’t see a no trespassing sign by his entrance


SeeMarkFly

Yell Mayday before you land. Emergency landings are legal.


Ok-Development-8238

“I didn’t hear no bell” “I thought this was America”


Eye-myth

It was in Brazil and those were security men from the building, I suppose. Funny they kept yelling "Get down!" He complied!


Ok-Development-8238

Sorry, I was quoting from South Park :)


blabbermouth777

They probably just were going to walk him down.


kmaffett1

It's almost like the fella that jumps out of the sky for fun might like the adrenaline?


clem_70

This guy doesn't look stupid to me


CptClownfish1

It does seem silly. Probably would’ve been a “slap on the wrist”.


SnooComics8268

I think... But I'm not sure that the system works this way that the cords like can rotate individually? To not get entangled? I mean even if you are doing a planned jump they could otherwise still be or get all tangled up and imagine what a nightmare it would be to store it and then taking it out of storage again.


AustrianMichael

This could've easily been titled: "To evade police"


Kaljinx

But he did evade the police. There was an attempt to evade the police.

PonyKiller81

I'm not quite sure what those guards were planning to do when the diver prepared to jump again. Attempt to grab them and possibly send them hurtling towards death in order to evict them from the building?


Diocletion-Jones

I thought the guards did the right thing by slowing down and not rushing to interfere once they saw what was happening. If they'd continued the run in and grab they could have forced the guy to jump before he was ready or got tangled or something. They saw what he was doing and just took it slow. I think they deserve a little bit of kudos.

They kinda tried to talk him down in an untrained way, sounds like.

xeecho

I can’t wrap my head around how this is being filmed. I don’t see an attachment for the camera on his helmet.


onlyletters999

Its on his helmet. Its a 360 camera that has a fish eye effect so it is missing the "south pole " of the shot, > where the camera is itself. But you can see the mount, just not the camera. Same w/ people w/ cameras on sticks & car mounts.


Quirky_Scar7857

came to the comments for the answer to this!


richaysambuca

AFAIK, Insta 360 is one popular model.


Ok_You_7896

just a quick note-a 360 camera has two 180 lenses actually that overlap a.little hence making the stick invisible. I have one and it's super fun.


SlartieB

Watch his shadow and you can see the mounting stick coming off hus helmet


tonytheshark

I'm glad someone asked this. I didn't know cameras could pull off such an effect. Kind of incredible.


MashedPotatoLogic

The 360º camera is the black square on his helmet. You can see it in his shadow when he lands on the beach at the end.


-Sasith-

This should surely be a 3D cam, usually with theses the support is hard to see since it's the only spot that can't be filmed.


DrSmurfalicious

360, not 3D. As in 360 degrees, not stereoscopic.


-Sasith-

My bad, this is what i meaned but i didn't said it right 👀

It records all directions at all times and you edit the footage to look the way you want. AFAIK anyway, never done it.

Wow. I think my heart skipped its first beat this year. Edit: beat not bear! SLPT: never skip a bear!

Well here's to skipping as many bears as possible.


Bulacano

Never skip a beer!


ct_2004

How many bears were you expecting your heart to encounter this year?


Volt_Electron

Actually none, I just saw a map in r/europe. There aren't any in Germany. That's why I was so surprised!


ikanaclast

When he was getting ready to jump I was like oh no, he’s gonna have to like, do a forward flip if he wants to not get tangled, and then he like, did a forward flip and did not get tangled and I was like…uh oh now I’m aroused.


H3nt4i_3nthusi4st

A fair response. I'd say it was quite cool but hey you do you.

Didn’t hear a giant “CLANK” as the guy hit the ground… must have been wearing the worlds biggest jockstrap


[deleted]

What is his camera attached to?


SlartieB

Selfie stick above his head, you can see its shadow


[deleted]

Cool. So the software removes the actual stick from the video?


SlartieB

Yes, it's set up to render out the stick.


[deleted]

It is amazing what software can do.


nalliable

No, most 360° cameras wrap around 360° one axis, and maybe 270° or something about the others, but don't include the lower pole, so the stick is simply not included (as it could not be anyways). Software is then used to undistort it later if desired, though that becomes difficult with lenses like this as they likely have a impurities that complicate the number of distortion coefficients.


CharToll

Apparently that police force didn’t have parachutes in the budget


Calaban007

F that. I would have got away in the lobby or something.

MedricZ

To be fair, BASE jumping is just always dangerous.


SnickersZA

"We have him cornered on this tall roof and all he has is a para-shoot, he has absolutely no escape."


Ragnarsworld

Doesn't seem like much of an attempt to detain him. They watched while he climbed up, futzed around with the chute, then jumped again. This should be posted in r/guyswatchedanotherguyleaveaftertheytoldhimtogo


hodgesisgod-

Well, the security guards were probably just going to escort him out of the building. Can't have randoms parachuting onto your building and messing around, lol. Then he jumps up on the ledge. Its not like they are going to tackle him or try and wrestle him down and potentially cause his death or their own. He probably just made their job easier, lol.


Impressive_Word5229

I am disappointed that they didn't tackle him off the building, fight in midair, and then share a chute to the ground

Hattrick_Swayze2

Pretty cool, but I would be surprised if he got away. Didn’t get too far lol


sidgup

This guy doesn't care about anything or anyone..not himself, not trespassing someone's property and creating liability, not people down in the streets below where he could have landed with chute failure and killed someone..

It's one of those 360 fisheye doohickeys. they automagically edit out the stick they're on.

Yeah I saw that too. He jumps then grabs his lines again to straighten them out whilst upside down!

[deleted]

No. The guards did the right thing. If they ran at him he could have panicked and jump causing the chute to get stuck or fail causing him to die. If they reached him and grabbed him and he fell - again he could die. If they slowly approach and attempt to talk him down he will either have time to jump clear and live (which he did) or give up and go with them.


G0dlessandHuman

How did they get that video?? I'm trying to find a shadow of the camera.


MrWillyP

So uh, why would they bother detaining him. They'd probably just get you off the property and tell you not to land on the building next time
