Bet he doesn’t do that again.
Mr Bean ?
Rule #1,
Johnny English?
Wondered why the pilot didn't land near the homes....at higher elevation.
Nonetheless,,,was a scary video.
If there was even a one in a million chance they could get laid in the near future?
This is a sport for 'tards.
How in the world did this guy end up in this situation?
I feel sorry for his Mom cuz I have a kidlet that loves jumping out of planes.
He didn’t learn to ride a bike cuz it was too dangerous.
Now he’s giving more grey hair.
“That was the first day of my Swiss vacation”
and I love the next part...
“Tomorrow base jumping?”
Just don’t forget to attach the rubber band.
“Nice view....I’m gonna die!” LOL
A friend of mine was an Air Force photographer.
He was sitting in a chair at the side door of a cargo plane with a heavy camera in his hands shooting aerials of a military base.
At one point, he leaned a little out of the chair, to which he was not strapped, and the camera got caught in the slip stream.
As he was being slowly pulled out of the plane, he looked down and saw a red cross painted on the roof of a base hospital. He remembers thinking, “Oh, good. At least I’ll land on a hospital.”
About that time someone standing behind him grabbed him and pull him back into the plane. The main thing was he didn’t lose that camera! LOL
Somebody did not complete his Pre Flight check list.
Lol!
Why didn’t the other guy help pull him up with the harness on the back of the dangling guy?
At the end, it says, "I will go Hang Gliding again as I did not get to enjoy my first flight."
The guy has some funny commentary.
A hang glider was killed today in La Jolla.

“Well you know Tuttle, no sacrifice too great. This morning while the rest of us were selfishly having a cup of coffee, he went off in a helicopter to do some field surgery. He jumped with his plasma, his bag, everything an Army doctor needs...except his parachute.”
If I recall he was a quarterback in college, threw a pass and had to run downfield to catch it and make the game winning touch down.
Saw that when dinosaurs walked the earth........
Tuttle was a MASH episode.
