Seems a bit excessive.
She’s got balls
Failed Darwin Award attempt there….
What was the point of that?
is it that wimmin are as dumb as men? just a few inches off a Darwin award in any case
Nah… a man would have waited longer to open the second chute, he being a bit dummer… I mean, he being less inclined towards self preservation and more inclined to taking risks.
Don’t try this at home. OMG!
Too late. Stairs and landing are on fire and I’m badly hurt.
Science!
You’d want to be pretty confident your 2nd chute was packed properly.
Moral of the story, dont’ shoot flares at your parachute. Who’d a thunk?
I’m always shooting flares into my ‘chute, me.
I did a jump once. And not one strapped to an actual parachutist. A proper one. Jumped out of a place on my own. The club members who do them all the time are mentlers.
that was eh .. entirely pointless
Missing from the video is the part where the 2nd chute spontaneously combusts and she pulls a third chute out of her arse pocket.
