I think he carved that groove through those mountains after years of flying down and using nothing more than a parachute and golf shoes.

Fascinating. They've lived there for an unknown hundreds of years. And are hostile to any outsiders. One estimate was 40 people live on the island? What about inbreeding? It looks like a fair number of children in the videos.

I think we should parachute some cameras in. Park some drones in some trees for observation. (kidding...but not kidding)

My first thought was not without a parachute bitch...

Not as sketchy with the parachute. I would have liked to see the video as he slid down the cable of the carabiner getting worn away. Idiot should have had a pulley that could roll.

If this is from Russia, I think they're tourists. Russians don't use parachutes. They'd climb down that vertical cable using their balls.

Also, I think this cable set up is for catching low-flying aircraft trying to sneak, nap-of-earth, during the cold war. Either that or it's the World's most epic rope swing.

Maybe in the future there will be whole aircraft parachutes on commercial aircraft.

Why don’t Commercial Airplanes have Parachutes? has been added as a related post - related requested by TheFreak on that post.

Wow, at first I thought it was going to be a video on why the plane itself doesn't have a huge parachute for landings, so I was really off on this one.
