I found this floating around youtube this morning....... how long do you think it will be before some bones are broken?

Having live anchors is somewhat of a safety device. Still a bad idea.

Another idiot...:crazy:

yeah... not so clever... lucky he came down as soft as he did... loved the part where the people on the ground are being dragged after him... Thought they were all going for a ride for a minute there...

Anchor line breaks....Loft & Luff.... maybe a tea bag.

Flying line breaks... Deadfall

Depending on winds, maybe a lofting for a everyone...

Definitely pushing the "House always wins in the end" axiom.

Maybe not as bad an idea as practicing with a javelin in a public park and harpooning someone's pooch, but up there.... true story, not me.... strange childhood and all that.

Here's another.... (longish, I'd say 2/5 stars)

No way were the winds 30 mph though.

the de-evolution of mankind at it's finest. They need to die ,before they breed!

Nah.... they just need the voice over yelling "Pull!!" periodically with shotgun sound effects.

That really would make it much better. :rolleyes:

Yuppers....just one of those days for me. :smilegrin:

LOL exactly what I thought. Then I saw the tether !!! Didn't even have to watch the rest except to see that Darwin spared them this time.

The only ones more idiotic than the people in the vid are the people commenting saying it was awesome and hailing them as geniuses.

kiteetik - 20-1-2011 at 07:55 PM

reminds me of the "kite madness" vid--this ones more insane though......

when he landed on his left ankle.:wee:
