I want a larger net

I'm convinced there are certain people in this world who are so batshit drinking insane that this is the only way they can enjoy life.

Southwesterns new economy class drop-off service SUCKS....

Wait until you find out in a wingsuit you can slightly climb at the last minute and safely land in a pile of cardboard boxes!

He survived because he landed in a predesignated net - this girl, well, read this: https://littlethings.com/lifestyle/plane-crash-amazon

I swear I've never read an account that talked about her previous survival training or her fluency in Spanish. That makes a lot more sense.

Ever seen any Wile E. Coyote cartoons?

TOO CLOSE to the edge of the net - nowhere near the middle. Yikes,
PowerPedant
Yup. Every time I see this, I don't see careful planning paying off, but one incredibly lucky insane guy.
photoshopbot01
I think that's actually just the edge of the white square in the middle of the net, not the outer edge of the net.
Nize426
I saw a vid on YouTube, it's actually the edge of the net.

It clearly worked but that still seems like a fast deceleration

According to the interwebs, the force of a parachute “soft” open is around 3 G, and a “hard” open can be 12 G to 18 G
GravyEducation
Yeah I guess if you see people use chutes its similar, and this way the force is distributed through the net and not through a harness
SerenePrincess013
I've heard of people landing from a parachute jump, & both of their shoulders are either badly bruised, or dislocated.
GravyEducation
You ever hear of what you should do if two people have one parachute? I might be wrong but it involves hugging under the straps and a 1/

Guarantee that person #2 needs medical attention after

See, I've seen this, and its very cool.. but I've yet to see the one posted where the guy lands on cardboard boxes with a wingsuit

Who does this??? I mean...I know he did...but why?!?!?!
Totalynotthegodfather
People who want ad revenue. This was going on when I was ar work one day. 4+ hours of coverage. Only 2 minutes was worth watching.

Because we normalized sky diving with a chute.

I see this and think, we can use this in space travel, if systems fail and you need to bail with no chute near a net, you now have a chance.
seyne
Most failures in re-entry are gonna occur way before the point where you could survive bailing without extensive gear
WorkerLurker
Re-entry? I’m talking about escape velocity on planets we have bases
seyne
Going up also has a very small window in which bailing out without a ton of equipment would be survivable, and on another planet the

atmosphere would either be lethally hot/thick without extensive equipment or difficult/impossible to control your descent due to being thin/

Yep, he's using the power of gay frogs to fight gravity. It's the only possible explanation for this witchcraft.

I knew it!!
FabulouslyTiti
And the chemtrails were ignited by a hit from the jewish space lasers, right? :')

Someone get Mel Brooks on the phone, they've GOTTA fund that sequel now!
