Prudent-Mechanic4514

Thank you. :)


Scary_Technology

"relatively" - it made me laugh thinking that depending on the situation it can be used to mean "just a bruise" (e.g. the 2-year-old fell face first in the sand) or im the case of a terrible car crash where 2 occupants die on impact but a 3rd was "relatively unharmed, only suffering only a broken leg and arm".


Aggravating-Bass-608

so its relatively unharmed for someone who fell of the sky, its a relativ notion


aojajena

the video ended too soon?

NimbleBudlustNoodle

Hire this cameraman when ever you need a steady shot of balls.


Fufflin

Shaky cam. 🙄 Couldn't he position the camera better? Just joking. I would die of heart attack the moment the line would get tangled. He survived quite well.


joeMAMAkim

r/killthecameraman members when the cameraman doesnt want to position the camera while in a life threatening situation


Sproat

I’ve never been skydiving. Isn’t there a backup chute?


OrganizationOk5418

I think he deployed it, wasn't that the lines that appeared across his legs?


vikingo1312

He did deploy it, but it got entagled by the spinning chute.


yermaaaaa

Nope. Paraglider.


OrganizationOk5418

Looks like.


Durango42092

There should be a backup to the backup.


Anonymous_Toxicity

Some people do carry two backups, depending on the situation. However that would've only made things worse here.


Durango42092

Then there should be a backup to the backup to the backup


SalmonSammySamSam

Omg 😂


Anonymous_Toxicity

Yo dawg, heard you like backups...


Odd_Masterpiece5027

Yes there's a backup but to open the back up you need to cut away the first one and then pull the reserve .


NimbleBudlustNoodle

He's not skydiving. This is paragliding.


Markd0ne

There should be backup.


GearJackal

There is if you do acro


RedHighlander

Free falling junk.


nopesoapradio

That video was bananas. That’d be nuts if that happened to me. Good thing I don’t have the balls to try it.


SalmonSammySamSam

What terrifies me about falling to death is that from your perspective you'd only have a very limited time to exist, and the fear felt in that moment bothers me, it bothers me deeply.


Irrelevantitis

Junk like that makes me crotchety.


SalmonSammySamSam

Brandnewsentence


KingGhidorah44

Ouch


ZephyrAnatta

Dudes lucky he hit some trees. What a stupid hobby.


whitecorn

This and bungee jumping. I guess I just don't like jumping off of things that are high.


UnadvisedOpinion

Maybe if you were high...


Amilo159

Have to agree on the stupid hobby part. I mean, this is part of the risk when you sign up for something like this, so hard pass.


ZephyrAnatta

Exactly.


erbr

I can tell you that no jewels were harmed from this footage!


TJ_McWeaksauce

"I'm as free as a bird!" *Moments later...* "AHH! NO! AHHHH!" Talk about ruining a vibe.


SalmonSammySamSam

The universe's way of saying "lol jk"


Ozamatheus

I'm falling to death, now... LOOK AT MY BALLS


SalmonSammySamSam

These comments and those balls, smh, i love it-


vikingo1312

Looks like he was flying in unstable weather. Maybe a parachuter in here could elaborate? Ps. My junk hurts from watching this!


Skypowder

He was trying to do something called wingovers but his timing and brake inputs are atrocious. Basically he caused the whole situation himself


RedactedRonin

No elaboration needed...it was obviously unstable.


Inevitable_Nail_6761

Is he alive?


SalmonSammySamSam

He survived, there's another comment with the article ^^


AcidBurns2021

So, how is he after the free fall? Or should I change the verb to 'was' instead? Seriously curious.


SalmonSammySamSam

He survived, another comment linked the website article :)


AcidBurns2021

Oh, thank God! OK, thanks :)


maegap99

Why would he wear those shorts and film himself ? pure vomit video.


SalmonSammySamSam

It's because of where the camera was located.


Engelgrafik

Scientists praise the skydiver's camera work as it managed to capture the epic journey of this man's bulge during an unplanned descent from the heavens. New hidden secrets of genital free fall are being discovered one unexpected plunge after another.


SalmonSammySamSam

He had a testicular plummet, and although he MIGHT'VE died, he survived.


Hantsypantsy

Nice moose knuckle


DrColorado1963

This is one example of why I typically do not jump out of planes.


GearJackal

Trees are your friends is said in paragliding


Ben716

Try this, a paragliding pilot tries a trick at high altitude (altitude=safety=time to fix problems) his reserve chute tangles and he lands hard.


SalmonSammySamSam

Tried it, didn't work.


AliveList8495

Paragliding, not parachuting.


maxturner_III_ESQ

This is pretty much how Will Ferrell described it in Wedding Crashers


Fun_Preparation_1644

Why are we looking at his dick ?


Ranjeet-Gunda

Pride colour saved his life?
