Extreme Flying SQUIRREL!!!

Hey – I was there helping out! Awesome day.

The boxes were delivery by three trucks, and 100 of us started at 8am and build the landing rig and finished by about 1.30.

Epic in every sense!

Someone who is moving house today is going to be p*ssed when they see someone's nicked their boxes.

with without…? double negative… which means he will learn to land with boxes hmmmmmm

etcrr

Not awake when I posted it
vvv

hmmm actually it's not a double negative, it's a positive with a negative
with without – means having not having boxes = same as not having boxes
double negative would be without without boxes.
jijijijaaaaaaaaaaaaa

how is "with without" double negative?????

Who set up all those boxes? I think who ever did needs to be in the "I hate my job" post

Simon

But he didn't deploy it, which is the main thing. You'd be too stupid to try a stunt like that without backup.

trickyD

And seeing has he has two kids I would imagine the missus would insist on a chute back up!

That isn't landing – its crashing but it still takes some balls!

What's the point of this?

To show he can smash face into cardboard boxes at 85 mph?

fred

Hitch Hickers Guide to the Galaxy: what is flying? Falling while attempting to hit the ground…and failing at it! I guess this dude got success by succeding at failing!

Cool stunt but I'm sure whoever had that nice pile of great boxes doesn't appreciate it as much. Box vandalism is not okay

I would definitely wear a full face helmet. Something about a cardboard box hitting my face at 60+ mph doesn't sound to appealing.

What the hell? What a waste of boxes.

Outch!

So we are going to jump out of a helicopter at 2400 feet with a flying squirrel suit on and land on a bunch of cardboard boxes. Who thinks up this shit and more importantly talks people into doing it? I want to avoid that person.

Travis Pastrana did it first… and he actually didn’t have any chute on
etcrr 131p

He is falling coz he is heavier than air and this is called falling and i like it very much.
Chorel

He's wearing a glide suit though. It might not be a parachute but it still slows him down a lot. Let's see him do this without ANY sort of help. Still awesome to see though.

travis pastrana's version was cooler imo

Did he died
zTom

A feat made that much more difficult due to the massive titanium balls he is sporting.
