Well I guess the guy survived but that looked really scary, wonder what made him pull so late. Anyone got any info about this jump?

If you look hard, I think you can see his PC out... looks like it could be a hesi?

Re: [Lukasz_Se] Lucky guy
the comment by the dude who posted the video says it was a small PC so the dude planned for a longer delay. He got up as soon as he landed.

I don't buy this :)

Yeah maybe with one leg. Crazy He looks to have hit the ground before the canopy fully inflated so he had to have hit pretty hard.

Im sure the dudes asshole puckered so hard he shit out his mouth. Shocked

You can see that canopy is fully open in the last frames, maybe just not fully pressurized.

And no worries, these guys are tough as nails! Siberian crew, same as Max (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vcpi8IsXvU). He was also uninjured.

Re: [outrager] Lucky guy

That has to be marsh or something? Same as the other chap, there must have been some snow drift to break the impact enough to be lucky? Pure solid ground? Surely not?! UnsureCrazy

Maybe he did make it. Here's the last viewable frame.

People also cut videos off way too soon.

Watch the first guy slide in and then slide sideways; it's a frozen lake. There's not enough snow to break anyone's fall.

Forget about waiting 'till the last second. These guys are trimming their margins down to milliseconds! I agree that they must have been using cheats. I have balls of steel but there's no way in hell I'd pull that low without god mode on Shocked

Re: [Lukasz_Se] Lucky guy
I have seen raw footage from another view, PC hesi. Although very close, he was fine.
