Man Parachutes From High-Rise Building In Bizarre Stunt

Man Parachutes From High-Rise Building In Bizarre Stunt

Do not try this at home.

A shocking video shows a man jumping from his balcony while wearing a parachute that he's reported to have bought online.

The short clip begins with the man, who is not exactly dressed for a parachute jump, in shorts, t-shirt and flip flops, as a woman begs him not to attempt the stunt.

In the nail-biting video, you can see the guy count to three before flinging himself off the balcony, wearing the parachute, with the woman making pained noises behind him.

The men who are watching seem less concerned. Watch it for yourself.

In fact, the group of men, who are crowded on the balcony, have their phones at the ready to capture the ridiculous stunt, which is reported to have taken place in Brazil. They all know this is getting thousands of views, don't they? They're all in this for the Reddit upvotes.

Surely, at this point, the men must be thinking this is going to go badly wrong. There's probably a very good reason people don't parachute from high-rise building blocks. And people who do parachute probably don't just pick one up on a whim off the Internet, like this fella is rumoured to have done. And they definitely don't have women, holding small children, while crying and begging them not to do it.

Anyway, despite the woman's tears, he's off. And it's a nervy couple of seconds.

Fortunately, the man manages to make a safe landing on the ground below, while shocked onlookers shout from the balcony.

Since doing the rounds on social media, people have been claiming he's definitely an expert and was probably not in very much danger in the first place.

People have mostly just been calling him stupid and irresponsible. I think the woman in the clip would agree with that. So, whatever you do, do not try this at home.
