We Were Promised Jetpacks
looks like no landing method, just a parachute. possibly no takeoff except from aircraft already in flight.
Don't ride off a hill if you don't know how to land - go pro
To me that looks like a failed base jump. You can see him holding a parachute strap with his left hand when he's tumbling on the cliffside.
If you look at about 0:25, you can see that there is a section where he is supposed to land and keep on riding. I was just pointing this out because I didn't see it the first time I watched it.
Supafly Breakdancing
Damn it Fly, if I ever see you do anything that crazy again....
this crew just might win some new parachute pants!
NASA Engineer tells you how to win an egg drop
Hmm. 4/5 of those solutions were pretty disappointing. Balloons, bag of styrofoam, parachute, and... drone airlift
One good tip on the straws one though: don't aim the shock-absorbing straws in at your egg!
Jumping from cornice to cornice, 40 stories up
I'm sure he had his parachute on. and his jet pack. and a can of Red Bull
High Winds In Shanghai Give Window Washers Quite A Ride
Ya know... if I ever became a window washer at a skyscraper...
...I'd wear a parachute to work.
Daredevil Fires Flare Gun Into His Own Parachute
if you hate parachutes that much don't jump out of planes
Guy Has Seizure While Skydiving
A friend of mine lost consciousness while parachuting last summer. He says they synched the gear too tight, which cut off his circulation and he passed out. whether he mannaged to deploy his chute, or it opened on it's own, I'm not sure, he doesn't remember anything after that.
He regained consciousness a while after he hit a house and bounced to the ground.
He's lucky to be alive and is continuing to re-learn how to walk again.
Guy Has Seizure While Skydiving
My assumption is that whenever possible you'd want the main chute to deploy because the emergency chute is just that: for emergencies.
Kind of like how it's better to use a full-sized tire instead of a compact spare (on your car, not as a parachute).
Isn't there a little barometric device that automatically deploys your chute if you reach a certain altitude?
Running out of fuel 253 miles from Hawaii
Is that a normal thing? I don't think I've ever seen a plane with a deployed parachute before.
Someone stole naked pictures of me. This is what I did about
I don't know anythign about Emma Watson or "he for she" or whatever so I'm not going to comment on that.
But jesus rollerblading christ.... are you seriously comparing the unintended consequences of consensual sex to the violation of someones privacy?
I honestly can't believe what I'm reading.
I would never say that if you don't want a kid, don't have sex. I will absolutely say that if you don't want a kid, practice safe sex.
But it's a biological fact that, with the best will in the world from both parties, children can result from intercourse. Please tell me this isn't news to you.
One is an unalterable fact, like gravity. The other results from someones deliberate actions.
So yeah, if you can go skydiving, accept the fact that if everything goes wrong and you hit the ground, you will get injured.
But don't tell me not to go skydiving in case some asshole cuts my parachute.
I give up. Continue telling this young woman how to live her life and what she should do in the privacy of her own home with her partner.
But society tells a man, enshrined in law, that if he does not want to be forced into wage-slavery for 18 years of an unwanted child's life, he should not have had sex with the girl in the first place.
Changing the light bulb on a 1500' (450m) TV Tower
Can he just parachute down? The climb down is probably a heck of a lot scarier.
Conservative Christian mom attempts to disprove evolution
Just wanted to comment on what you said here. Isn't that like stepping out of a plane without a parachute? Not many would play with their life like that, yet strangely many are content to play around with their eternity in much the same way. If there is anything you should be sure of in this life, it's where you are going to end up when you die. Above anything else, it's the one thing you don't want to get wrong. You have said that you prefer an indefinite answer, but there is a definite answer as to what will actually happen to you. It's not that anything could happen, it is that something will happen and I think it is in your, and everyones, best interest to find out exactly what that is.
If only she picked up a book, or asked someone, instead of asking questions into thin air of nobody. Is it any surprise no one could tell her what tiny organisms were evolving all that time ago when she asked a brick wall?
There is no scientific evidence for God, there never will be and never has been. If there is any type of supreme being, it is almost certainly quite unlike anything any of us could imagine, and i see absolutely no reason to believe a random muslim version of what it is over a random christian, or a random anything else. I may as well make up my own version as adhere to someone else's version, because there's just as much evidence for that as anything else!
I see no reason as to why there shouldn't be some kind of existence after death - we thought we were the only thing that existed until recently... we may have gotten better at understanding the reality we find ourselves in, but it is no less wondrous or magical for all that. Why should there be anything? And if you can't answer that, then why should this be the extent of it?
My childhood question was basically "what comes after death?" - i got my answer after studying a lot, but the answer is "anything could happen." And i quite like that answer as opposed to a more definite one.
