Man Decides Not to Open His Parachute, Chooses Boxes Instead

submitted by shveddy

1 decade 2 years 1 week ago

Gary Connery became the first person to ever intentionally jump from an aircraft, reach terminal velocity and land without a parachute; with the help of 18600 boxes. Pretty sweet.

Must have been a "jackass" episode.

In what could have been the greatest cardboard castle ever, was ruined by a stuntman.

Unfortunately, a UPS truck was going by at the time and accidentally shipped Gary to Russia.
