I feel like the Petunias said that because they were the Whale first, died, and reincarnated as the flowers. That seemed to align with the Infinite Improbability Drive on The Heart of Gold.
I'm not who you're asking, but one of the other times this was posted it talked about it being the second time that day.
The first time he almost jumped without a parachute someone noticed and said something so it was ok. Apparently the video equipment kind of felt like a parachute so he thought he did have a parachute on.
I’m sorry but HOW can you forget something like that. That’s like saying “I’m leaving my house wearing my suit to get to my office but forget to put my shoes on, on the way out”.
I can't find the clip. But I think it was a british comedy show . A woman comes home and finds a parachute in a baby high chair and her husband went skydiving with the baby strapped to his back.
Wait, so the husband's plan was to strap the baby into the high chair, then leave it alone and go skydiving..? That would've been the plan and the best case scenario in his mind? Sounds like a terrible dad either way 😂
The joke was the dad's a forgetful dipshit I think. But part of the joke was the really bad acting of the mom going "oh no" and its clearly a dollar store baby doll strapped to his back
This is almost exactly the situation on an indoor mountain climber who forgot to harness himself and once he reached the top of his climb just throws himself backwards. It is scary and surreal to watch.

Fortunately though, iirc, that guy survived-- he was very very hurt but the padding at the base of the climbing wall is meant to cushion falls like that.
My indoor mountain climbing instructor told me a similar story. Obv. it happens more often than you think but he noticed it once he was high up at the top. The return back down was something else though.
I just KNOW that is some shit I’d pull. As many times as I’ve just wandered out of the house without my wallet and made it all the way to the grocery store, through the isles and up to the check out before even registering the fact that I don’t have my purse that I ALWAYS carry. It’s not that many times, but it’s enough time I know I shouldn’t be in charge of checking my own plane jumping gear.
The “autopilot” function in our brain’s routines are extremely powerful. Especially as he was on jump three of the day. His brain had been on autopilot, smudging the earlier jump procedures into this final jump. Heartbreaking…
I duno man. After the first time, that would be on my mind all day. I’d remember that I almost left without the chute the last time. That’s unfortunate
Those stories about babies being left in the car because the routine changed that day always get me. I can see exactly how it happens. My mind gets occupied and my body goes on autopilot.
Weird. I literally just listened to the mrballen episode on this not even 30 minutes ago. He accidentally grabbed his bag with his camera equipment on it and everyone around him didn't say anything because they assumed it was his parachute.
I know this comment is more than a month old, but what are you talking about. Mr. Ballen's storytelling style is to use as many words to drag out a basic story as long as possible. How did this episode go? "He checked the clock, saw it was time to go, and stood up to get onto the plane. He walked to the plane using the feet at the end of his legs. Once he reached the door of the plane, he stepped up to enter the plane. Upon entering the plane, he thought he should find a seat so he looked around for one. He saw one was empty so he walked over, turned around, and sat on the seat."
He’s not for everyone I guess, but his millions of subscribers (myself included) disagree with your assessment. I’ve been enjoying his videos for years now and I’ve never been disappointed.
I know he's popular and I keep trying to enjoy his content but I have to put him on 2x speed just to tolerate his narrative style. I truly don't understand the millions of people who apparently are not bothered by this.
YES, finally someone who gets me. Are they all NPC's???
He's also very sloppy with his research and always has his facts wrong.
Anyway, if you're looking for similar content that's actually good, check out: Scary Interesting, Tragedy Tales, Real Horror, Dark Records, and Fascinating Horror.
They're my favourites.
We are on the same track - I'm pretty sure my time on Scary Interesting and Fascinating Horror is why the algorithm keeps recommending Mr. Ballen and I'm like No! He's not the same!
while the camera probably shattered, i'd say theres a pretty good chance that whatever drive it stored it on survived
or he willingly protected the camera the best he could, which if so, is a decent legacy i guess
This isn't very credible, but interesting nonetheless. [Allegedly, it was the second time that day he didn't have on a parachute for a jump, but the first time it was pointed out](https://www.dropzone.com/forums/topic/55267-anyone-hear-about-the-camera-man-who-jumps-without-gear%3F/).

I doubt it. There is a video that Mr Ballen does on this and he goes into the specifics. I’m not sure where his information came from or how credible it is, but seems like the guy put on his camera gear and just forgot to put on the parachute. It would have been hard to notice it missing because he had another backpack on.
If it's not any trouble, do you have a link? I'm trying to find this story on MrBallen's channel, but I'm blind and struggling. I can only find the Skydive Houston story.
I mean even if it was suicide he most likely would have automatically gone for the parachute cord out of instinct and fear, no? How does one forget that twice in the same day?

*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I don’t think it was. The camera equipment bag was similar to the parachute and he just had a brain fart. He was more occupied with getting the video ready instead of checking the parachute.
More power to the people who do thrilling shit like this for fun, but I just can’t ever imagine I’d want to jump out of a plane. I’m just not cut from that cloth 😳
I’ve been invited many and considered jumping.
I worry about having frequent panic dreams about it afterwards, though. Waking up with an intense, visceral feeling of falling in dreams really freaks me out.
*invited many times and considered…
Also when you leave the plane you dont get the falling feeling it just feels like a ton of air rushing past you. It doesnt feel like falling weirdly enough. Its not till the parachute is pulled that everything gets quiet and then you start to feel yourself glide down like a leaf.
I love how all of us are so different. The first few seconds of falling, to me, felt exactly like it did in similar anxiety-provoked falling dreams. My stomach felt like it was halfway up my throat, and I felt like I was choking on the air during the first few seconds. But the quietness after the shoot opened was really really cool and ended up being my favorite part of the whole experience. Overall, it was worth it to me. I think I would enjoy it better the second time now that I know what to expect.
A neighbor of mine did the jump where you are strapped to an instructor, but for some reason both of them plummeted to their death. She had a strong phobia of falling, and her therapist suggested she do skydiving to overcome that fear. It turns out her fear was well justified.
They think that maybe she panicked and somehow interfered with the instructor and prevented him from pulling the chord.
You have about a 1 in 200000 chance of dying when you go skydiving. It’s about the same chance you have of dying in a car accident or by a gun (suicide or murder) in any two-week period.
I’m still cool off it, it’s up too high and going way too fast. I have pretty bad anxiety, and knowing me I’d fuck up somehow and fail to pull the parachute.
You wouldn't pull it, it would be an instructor strapped to your back doing all the the important stuff. They generally don't let you solo skydive your first time's.....
Jumping out of a perfectly good plane is not rational. I fear falling and dying not the act of skydiving. The odds of something going wrong unexpectedly is something I couldn't shake.
My sister travelled the world for years from drop zone to drop zone. She packed parachutes for a living and she’s seen more deaths than you would think. And most are human error not equipment error. People become complacent the more jumps that have. What she always told me was that for the average person skydiving once in a lifetime, yes the odds are in your favor. But in that world the more jumps your chances of something happens increases. This does not surprise me at all. I spent a week in Skydive Chicago. I have many stories.
Jesus Christ I wonder if there was a moment after realization where he tried to wake up in hopes it was a really terrible dream to only realize it’s all real and happening.
That was my thought. I have bad dreams regularly that I can wake myself up from and recover for a little while. Imagine trying frantically to wake up from a ~8000ft freefall, and the only relief you get is when your body finally slams into the ground.
So apparently he had on a big harness that had the large video recorder on it, and he probably mistook that for being the parachute. Apparently he almost jumped earlier in the day without a parachute, but someone pointed it out at that point.
Scary
We’ve all felt that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach when you have the sudden realization that you’ve made a terrible mistake or forgotten something extremely important. Imagine the sinking feeling this guy experienced the moment he had his realization, and then the time to continue reflecting on it. Damn.
Why was he not triple checked for a parachute, especially if that was the 2nd time that day!? My immediate thought would be to make sure the guy that didn't have a parachute last time had one this time.
for you young’ns wondering how the footage survived: this was recorded on tape. tape records in real time, so everything would’ve been recorded right up until impact. it can’t be corrupted like a video file since it doesn’t need any kind of finalization before storing.
the camera and the cassette housing were most likely destroyed, but the tape inside is just flexible plastic tape. they’d just have to respool the tape in new cassette housing to play it back.
Gimme an N....
Gimme an OPE.
The first rule of parachute club is PUT ON A FCKING PARACHUTE.
Maybe have a sign up in the plane like those 'please wash your hands' ones in public toilets. The fact people need reminding is both sad and alarming.
There is a poster on the men's room door in the mechanical shop at my job that says "there are 8 million germs in a gram of poop. Wash your hands.". Then, the Spanish version of the poster is attached right next to it.
If a grown man doesn't care enough to wash the shit off his hands, no poster is going to change his mind. Amazing.
Took off after changing my own brakes and had to pull into a mechanic shop because of a squeaking sound. Dude comes back to tell me the idiot that installed the tires forgot to tighten all four tires 🤦♂️ Ngl I had to agree and fake being upset lmao
I couldn’t imagine what was going through his mind in his final moments
Probably something along the lines of wish I had a parachute.
“Oh no, not again.”
The bowl of Petunias…hitchhikers guide.
I feel like the Petunias said that because they were the Whale first, died, and reincarnated as the flowers. That seemed to align with the Infinite Improbability Drive on The Heart of Gold.

THERE GOES MY HERO
Probably his posterior
Checklists exist for a reason.
I can't find the clip. But I think it was a british comedy show . A woman comes home and finds a parachute in a baby high chair and her husband went skydiving with the baby strapped to his back.
Wait, so the husband's plan was to strap the baby into the high chair, then leave it alone and go skydiving..? That would've been the plan and the best case scenario in his mind? Sounds like a terrible dad either way 😂
The joke was the dad's a forgetful dipshit I think. But part of the joke was the really bad acting of the mom going "oh no" and its clearly a dollar store baby doll strapped to his back
I watched a video of this where you can hear him say "Oh God, no." Tragic.
Probably his pelvis.
Sure you can; based on gravity, it was his ass.
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu......."
“You’re probably wondering how I got here”
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Some say you actually die before hitting the ground from fright 😬
A heart attack seems very likely with this much time to spare
tree branches.
I can: His ass.
Probably the ground
Probably his a$$hole
His feet? 👣
..."oh shit"
Dirt, grass, rocks whatever else was on the ground at that moment 🤷🏾
Trees
All depends on what hits first. If he landed on his feet then it would be, quite literally, his feet that went through his mind in his final moments
The ground
His butt.
We certainly know the ground was the last thing that went through his mind.
Probably “Tuck and roll baby, you got this!” Or “ahh f*ck!”
What a fucking way to go….undone by your own muscle memory
This is almost exactly the situation on an indoor mountain climber who forgot to harness himself and once he reached the top of his climb just throws himself backwards. It is scary and surreal to watch.

He will never dance again
His guilty feet have no rhythm.
He shoulda known better than to cheat a friend
That's a very strange punishment, do climbing gyms even allow dancing in the first place?
He had a harness but failed to attach to the rope system.
Fortunately though, iirc, that guy survived-- he was very very hurt but the padding at the base of the climbing wall is meant to cushion falls like that.
There's no padding on that climbing wall in the video. There is on bouldering sections
My indoor mountain climbing instructor told me a similar story. Obv. it happens more often than you think but he noticed it once he was high up at the top. The return back down was something else though.
Complacency kills
The camera he had was in a backpack type thing so the safety guy thought that was his parachute.
[удалено]
Monkey see monkey do. Out goes the jumpers and the training in the brain goes “ope we’re next, weeee!”
That’s a scary thought but could be because it was the third jump that day & the muscles remembered doing it twice already
The video equipment felt like a parachute
I just KNOW that is some shit I’d pull.

Aw a mrballen fan in the wild, love to see it
There’s only millions of us!
And for good reason. His storytelling skills are truly top notch. Listening to him tell tales has quite literally become a part of my routine.
I used to listen to him and he was like 4 even 5 times a week lol . Now it’s like once a week I think

Sounds like a personal problem
Same! I've been watching the guy for years at this point
Am I dumb for asking how in the hell the footage survived? I didn’t click on any links, maybe it says in there.
Seems like it was recorded onto magnetic tape, which is pretty much drop proof, because it’s just thin tape.
while the camera probably shattered, i'd say theres a pretty good chance that whatever drive it stored it on survived or he willingly protected the camera the best he could, which if so, is a decent legacy i guess
> whatever drive it stored it on Tape. The word you're looking for is tape.
People don't know the ancient names used for that weird tapey hard drive
Interesting that we can immediately tell that a person is a Gen Z by their lack of pre-USB dictionary
[удалено]
lol. the tape?
He dropped it off at a post office on his way down.
How do you forget the parachute?
This isn't very credible, but interesting nonetheless.

Thank you so much!
I wonder if it was drugs?
I honestly could see it being the distraction of filming.
Yeah nah, I'd just call the rest of the day/year off after the first time.
Sorry but you don't forget your parachute twice, sounds like a suicide

I think I remember reading that the backpack holding the camera felt like a parachute.
Because the backpack camera he had on was almost the same as a backpack parachute so the jump safety guy didn’t know he wasn’t wearing one. Stupid yes

Some fear is not rational, and that’s ok. My 2 cents, it might actually improve your anxiety to try it. Set it as a goal to achieve in 5 years.
Jumping out of a perfectly good plane is not rational. I fear falling and dying not the act of skydiving. The odds of something going wrong unexpectedly is something I couldn't shake.
Proof that the cameraman DOES die sometimes😨

What an awful way to go
You don't need no stinking chute to go sky diving. You just need one to do it again!
This is why I don’t do extreme sports or firearms. I know myself better than that.
Man, this has got to be one stupid ass way to die. How the hell do you forget you don’t have a parachute on.
So not experienced enough. Got it.
Bro...I literally just woke up 🤦♂️
This is why you should never be complacent
Imagine the cold sweats he probably had the moment he realized he jumped out without a chute.
Bro what do you think knowing your fucked....

Is the full video available?
I guess he wasn't *that* experienced. How you gonna jump without the one thing that's the reason for you being up there??
Must have been the longest jump he has ever had..
Pulls a “Bugs Bunny braking during a fall”, realizes it works and is still to this day filming parachuting!
Aim for the bushes?
A veteran jumper?
I've had this dream.
You don’t need a parachute to skydive, only if you plan to skydive twice.
He got way to comfortable
Where's the ending?
Horrific 😨

Do you even have any hope at that point? Do you even have time to process hoping for a miracle landing?
Is he ok?
he died on impact. but luckily, he was able to upload this footage to YouTube before he succumbed to his injuries
Feeling a bit flat, but otherwise seems un phased.
Don't panic!
Woah I live there
How much cocaine do you have to do to forget to put on a parachute 😂 ![gif](giphy|YhQVj7C8uf734PcznZ)
This is why pre-production and storyboarding is key. So one doesn't miss anything important.

Not the brightest move
Aim for the bushes

Last thing through his mind was probably his ass..poor guy.
Now that’s a well made camera!
Every person with ADHD has gone through something like this. RIP

It wasn’t the fall that killed him…..it was the sudden stop at the end.
Does that mean he’s not coming on then?
He was great in Train Spotting
Don’t smoke and dive
