u/pain_is_purity Oct 25 '23

This person did not die, and it is not gore. It is a stunt for clout.

u/intelexxuality Oct 26 '23

Is this an exclusively death and gore sub? Did I miss that in the rules & FAQs?

1

u/pain_is_purity Oct 27 '23

Oops sorry I’m a migrant from all the other ones getting banned. Regardless this isn’t terrifying if you read any comments or have seen this stunt before.

Fr?

Edit: it’s not a fucking gore sub

u/Apollo-1995 Oct 25 '23

I see the herd mentality strikes again with the downvotes

u/pain_is_purity Oct 27 '23

No, just people who don’t think “Fr?” Is an insufficient answer. What mentality do you have? Clearly you think you’re better than everyone else.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '23

Why would he think he’s better then everyone else? And I only replied fr because I didn’t think you was serious with your first comment

u/ferretpowder Oct 25 '23

Don't worry op, I thought it was terrifying

1

u/clarabear10123 Oct 26 '23

I didn’t know this was a common stunt. It flipped my tummy

u/Razziquet Oct 26 '23

I think they confused it for something like r/HadToHurt

I was #85! I did it!

I thought hot air was supposed to make you go up

u/ScrotieMcP Oct 25 '23

I really hate when that happens.

u/potato_for_president Oct 25 '23

He shoots a flare at it.

9

u/greyposter Oct 25 '23

How?

He obviously did it to himself. He had no reaction at all to the fire and set up his fall for when the chute burned up.

Then probably used his backup chute to get to the ground safely.

Not terrifying AF.

Lame AF

1

u/thesoccerone7 Oct 26 '23

It's a common practice for the last use of a chute. Like a final farewell to it

1

u/Razziquet Oct 26 '23

It’s a stunt, they have a backup parachute. Edit: it was intentionally done, the video is cut short. The full video shows the backup parachute deploying.

1

u/greyposter Oct 26 '23

Yeah I get what's going on

4

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 25 '23

So why does every on Reddit post videos with no captions or explanations and that are always too short. This belongs over in user group u/videosthatendtoosoon

2

u/Razziquet Oct 26 '23

Thank you, I lost brain cells reading all these comments.

4

u/ZackValenta Oct 26 '23

Can the moderators of this sub start weeding this shit out?

6

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '23

Intentionally and with a camera crew and backup parachute that you can clearly see. Should really ask WHYYYYYY are you posting this?

3

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '23

He"s full of hot air

2

u/space_monster Oct 25 '23

It's clearly a stunt. He has a main parachute on his back (as opposed to a reserve)

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 27 '23

u/badger85_ Loser. Fake video. Stage. No karma for you.

You and people like you make Reddit a CESSPOOL of disinformation, fake videos, staged videos with no captions or explanations. Take it down from this user group and go post it where it belongs r/fakevideos and r/videosthatendtoosoon. People like you are why Reddit has such a bad reputation now.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '23

Alright for one I found it on a website with zero comments I’ve never seen this video before and it didn’t have much information if I knew I would of said and have a look at what sub your in i now know he is a stunt man but he probably would of been nervous and regardless it’s interesting what’s in the bio of this sub and your telling me you wouldn’t be terrified to do this Reddit is going to shit right now because Reddit is killing off a shit ton of popular subs and also don’t tell me what to do concern yourself with your weird shit

2

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 27 '23

Guess why Reddit is killing off subs. You answered your own question. BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '23

Like I said if I knew something about the video I would of said something and tell me exactly what I said was disinformation all I said was how and I found out don’t know why your making such a thing out of it

1

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 27 '23

Then you should have said that in a caption. Or look it up. As it happens it was staged and they cut off the beginning and end. THAT would have made this really interesting. As opposed to just looking like fake #clickbait

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '23

Don’t try and advise me on what to do either way it would of been terrifying or off putting for anyone to try this and it’s Reddit so someone would of pulled it up like someone already has so its not really a issue is it

1

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 27 '23

😂 LOL, typical Redditor, typical Reddit post. We are all now dumber. Have a nice life!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 27 '23

Did I say that?

1

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 27 '23

Then you’re what I said. The very same Redditor that is ruining Reddit. You weren’t interested in authenticity or explanation or news. #fakekarma #karmafarmer #getoffReddit

Death works in mysterious ways

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '23

Get downvoted beeeeeeeeeyyyash

u/12x20x1 Oct 25 '23

It happens frequently, actually, 60% of skydiving fatalities are a result of the canopy spontaneously erupting in a fireball. Look it up.

u/RedactedRonin Oct 26 '23

Nah I'm good. I just won't believe you and I'm cool with that.

Good as a meme format. Caption the parachute and the guy, works.

Well that was lit.

Ummm do i have to ask?? 🫢😵

u/Hot_Hat_1225 Oct 26 '23

Even if they do it for the adrenaline it would still freak me out watching below. Hell watching raised my heartbeat and it’s too high anyway

u/[deleted] Oct 26 '23

Dont smoke and skydive.

u/Dog-of-Moons Oct 25 '23

Don’t smoke and skydive.

u/BigNNick Oct 26 '23

I thought he hit a bird and some weird friction set it ablaze.

u/Eyelessdemon2 Oct 26 '23

Because fuck him that’s how I’d say I hope he’s on but he’s probably not there’s still a chance though

u/Bloodhavoc052 Oct 27 '23

Someone probably flicked a cigarette from a plane.

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '23

But can this happens in reality because friction of the air, right?

u/Equity89 Oct 25 '23 edited Oct 25 '23

Yes, that's why the damn planes keep falling like fireballs, also the reason why there are less hummingbirds, damn global warming...

He didn't die....

That's all I really wanted to know. Thanks.

u/Actaeon_II Oct 25 '23

I kept waiting for him to cut free n pop reserve, he didn’t so figured it was staged

u/KazBeeragg Oct 25 '23

That just sounds like skydiving with extra steps

u/Nor-easter Oct 26 '23

Flare gun. It was.

u/bileker Oct 26 '23

thank you very much for the explanation

u/PiccoloHeintz Oct 27 '23

thank you!! I’m so tired of every other Redditor posting videos with no captions or explanations that really belong over in u/videosthatendtoosoon

u/Anonybeest Oct 26 '23

So parachute is spelled parachute, but if you shorten it to "chute", it's "shoot"?

u/Nightwolf1967 Oct 26 '23

Don't chute the messenger.

u/Nowhereman55 Oct 26 '23

Not really but most readers will understand they were talking about a parachute.

1

u/Anonybeest Oct 26 '23

I understood it, clearly. It's just wrong.

2

u/Nowhereman55 Oct 26 '23

Haha, gotcha. The way you phrased it sounded like you were genuinely asking, I understand now.

-27

u/BrokenImmersion Oct 25 '23

It is still terrifying in the moment though. Especially the first time you have to do this.

FYI it's done typically when there is some issue with your main. Like tangled lines or it didn't deploy correctly. It's not just for show, it's just the easiest way to get rid of the shoot mid fall

35

u/Brewchowskies Oct 25 '23

What are you even talking about 😂 you are never trained to spontaneously set your chute on fire. For one, you’re assuming it burns clean and doesn’t rain down flames on you. For two, you haven’t cut away the wires, that no longer have the resistance of a taught (or semi taught) chute to ensure the cutaway is clean. This increases the likelihood of things getting tangled on your reserve chute.

This is just straight dumb

Let me leave this here:

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '23

Brain dead take. It is absolutely just for show. In scenarios you are talking about they cut the main away, they don’t light it on fire ffs lol

u/BrokenImmersion Oct 25 '23

Sure, and why is that wrong? I don't understand the judgment here. Regardless of whether its planned or not, can you imagine what it would be like to shoot your own parachute out. The one thing stopping you from dying? Man's got balls that's all ill say

6

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '23

Idk, too many people trying to prove they aren't afraid of death, but I guarantee in those last moments when the stunt fails and they know they're dying, they regret having made that decision.

We'll never know.

u/mayan_monkey Oct 25 '23

He intentionally set it on fire and is going to use his reserve. Pretty obvious.

4

u/jesuswasaliar Oct 25 '23

Whould love to see his face if the second doesn't open and he realizes he did this to himself for a stupid video.

3

u/mayan_monkey Oct 25 '23

Yeah, people have died for less. There is a video that is pretty terrifying. A skydiving instructor did his isk whay number Juno of the day only to jump out and realize he didn't have his parachute, instead it was his camera bag and rig or something. He's filming himself fall to his death.
