Parachuting is already scary enough for most people, but no! Red Bull needs MORE ADRENALIN! Which is why they decided to send some poor unfortunate parachuting, and then somehow defy physics and hover a stunt plane right next to him. Any sane person should be shitting themselves right about now.
The flying skill on display (not to mention the raw power of the stunt plane) is incredible. Also, I’m impressed that the parachutist actually manages to fit his ‘chute on overtop of the balls of steel he must be packing. [YouTube]













Samsung's CES TV Surprise Is Blowing Our Minds
Sex Can Literally Blow Your Mind
Forget Graphene, Silicene Is Here to Blow Your Mind
“Insane”, “Blow your mind”.
Better be careful there Chris, you’re straying into Jesus Diaz territory with them words!
I’m sorry, was your mind not blow by this?
I was impressed with the pilot’s skill, delighted at the control he displayed, and awed by the stunts he pulled afterwards. Now if you will excuse me, I have brain matter that needs to be cleaned off my monitor…
We are British. Our minds are not blown. We say “well done, chap.”
Before offering a firm handshake and a mug of tea?
Only a crash would warrant that much excess. A good landing grants a slight nod of the head and a tankard raised appreciatively.
And a puff on your pipe…
More of a substantial brain queef.
Bloody impressive stuff though, didn’t even know you could drift a plane!!
“insane” is very much JD territory.
Even the pilot shakes his head in disbelief.
Amazing flying….
“somehow defy physics”
How did they defy physics? It works in the same was as a helicopter. Do they defy physics too?
What I saw very simple physics in action. The upwards push of the plane equalled (nearly) the downward pull of gravity and so the plane managed to hover next to the parachute.
Simple physics, awesome piloting
Agreed. That was quite a blasphemy (for a tech blog).
