25,000 ft No Parachute Jump

[Deleted]

How high up was the net apparatus? ~75kg, ~60 m/s^2 .... if the net tracks with him a little distance like the image above shows... would it be any different than slamming on the brakes in a car?

Still less than 3G with a 2s deceleration.

Most people can easily handle up to 4G on an instantaneous and one-off basis.

With his back turned into into it, he could theoretically survive at least 5 times as much. So, they were just taking no chances, particularly with any soft tissues or blood vessels.

He made it and here is the whole jump video:

Holy shit that was close. And pretty cool. Not that I'd ever ever try it, but for someone else to do it it looks fun.

I imagine that still had to hurt quite a bit. Even getting hit with a droplet of water at that velocity would sting.

Close? Yeah I don't even shave that close.

One could totally do the math but just thinking about doing it gives me anxiety from physics class.

Meh. I do it all the time, no net needed. I just heroic leap right before i hit the ground. Ez pz

A winner of the Darwin Award for 2016?

He already had children.

Stupid. But fucking incredible. Fair play.
