Guy with parachute crashes into building

Hope that guy had a spare...

If you bounce when you land, you might be moving a bit too fast.

This is what you get for jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.

Beautiful display by skydivers

Guy's parachute malfunctions...he's lucky that he survived.

One of my personal ambitions: A parachute jump!

Really, volleyball nets are a great way to shorten up your landings.

No need to jump out of a perfectly good plane in order to go skydiving!

I gotta imagine this guy was covered in cat crap by the time this was over with.

Parachuting into a cave sounds like one hell of a rush.

This is more exciting than your day job for sure.

This looks more dangerous than base jumping!

Oldie, but still amazing.

It generally works better if you pull the chute before you hit the ground, dude...

Miracle Mike: after deploying his main parachute, his reserve deployed accidentally. (He was jumping a Dolphin container). He made several jumps on this container that day, but did not notice the RSL   more...lanyard routing problem that developed from mishandling the container. His man risers pulled the RSL lanyard out and dumped his reserve into his main. He then compounded issues by cutting away his main. He spun around without control of either parachute from 4000 feet or so while a couple of hundred people watched. He disappeared behind the tree line. I was one of the first persons on the scene. Expecting to see a badly broken and mangled body, Mike was laying flat on his back in thick mud. He was unscathed. He returned from the hospital a few hours later with nothing but a single scratch on his neck. whew! after careful inspection of the video you can see that the main has at least 4 cells inflated. The reserve is creating drag as well to slow him down to a survivable speed. In addition, landing in soft thick mud and bushes broke his fall. Had his main actually managed to clear after cutting away, and or if he landed on concrete, Miracle Mike might be called 'Mop-up Mike' instead.  less

1st freefall...and it could be his last. 1st he looses his chute. Then he hits powerlines. Awesome.

airborne nightshift!!!

Making a risky stunt even riskier!

Watch French people tear it up.

I don't think I'd do that for all the money in the world. Okay, maybe for all the money in the world.
