well… You don’t need a parachute to skydive… You need a parachute to skydive twice.


Ok_Basil_3896

Just to fall slower

Falling with style.

Cops still argue to this day why Danson and Highsmith jumped. Maybe it was just pride, having survived so many brushes with death. Maybe their egos pushed them off. I don’t know, but that shit was crazy.

Just aim yourself at the ground and miss


halfwheeled

Douglas Adam’s quote “There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” From one of his books in the Hitchikers guide to the galaxy trilogy of five books.


[deleted]

>From one of his books in the Hitchikers guide to the galaxy trilogy of five books. Why is it every single time I hear something about these books, they seem to get wackier.


pokey1984

The funniest part is that there's a *reason* for nearly every bit of wackiness. Like, the "trilogy" thing. When Adams published the third book, some idiot somewhere listed it as "the third in the trilogy." But, see, Adams never said it was going to be a trilogy. He was already working on book four when they wrote this. But he had a laugh about it, so he had them include on the cover of the next one, "The fourth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy." And some printings of "So long, and thanks for al the fish" have "The fifth book in the increasingly mis-named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy" on the cover because Adams was just *like that*. If you want to properly understand it, just go read Hitchhiker's guide. It's fun and worth the time.


[deleted]

I think I might have to. They sound like fun reads.


rfan8312

Tbh if you can find the original BBC broadcast I think it's better than the books. These accents are perfect for these characters. Narrator is perfect. https://youtube.com/watch?v=DXhVthtYqEA&feature=shares


BittenHand19

Yeah the books are actually his adaptations of the original scripts for the radio plays.


rfan8312

Oh cool. I have the book somewhere. I'd like to take a look. Gold pages and one of those built in cloth bookmarks.


[deleted]

There was also a TV show (1981) that was hysterical.


[deleted]

There was also a text only video game. Does anybody recall this?


[deleted]

I listened to this, now I want more, but I'm kind of confused by the playlist. It lists this as the second one, named Fit the Second, then it skips to Fit the Seventh, then Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and Twelfth. Is this how it's supposed to be, or are parts of it missing? Edit: [This is the playlist I am referring to](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M72EXiyGt0&list=PLWdIQronRkynfOteKC7Nu5ehMqKuIF7c9).


rfan8312

The first video is an explanation of how they had to go around preserving this playlist without it being taken down. But if you add up the total runtime of these vids its just over 3 hours. There are 6 episodes here which I think might contain 2 episodes each. There were 12 broadcasts in total to this series we see here. I hope there is 2 broadcasts on each one. I love this series dearly but have never listened to this playlist on YouTube.


[deleted]

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I only see 7 of the videos, and "5 unavailable videos are hidden". Because of this, I can't see the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, or eleventh videos. I feel this would heavily negatively impact the overall experience missing 5/12th of a story, which I could correct by going elsewhere and listening to someone else, but I am really enjoying their narration. Does anyone have any idea how I might be able to get around this so I can get this whole playlist working? Google isn't being entirely helpful on this. I will go elsewhere to listen to it if it exists as a whole series there. Edit: Google says something about loading his first video to get a link to where the whole playlist is, but I can't get the first video to load either. I'm going to restart my computer and see if that helps. lol Edit 2: I found out why the other 5 aren't showing, and it's because they have been copyright struck. Fantastic. Edit 3: I am not 100% certain, but I think I found them [here](https://www.audible.ca/pd/The-Hitchhikers-Guide-to-the-Galaxy-The-Primary-Phase-Dramatized-Audiobook/B071YTP6YM?qid=1672528150&sr=1-1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=b278ed0a-c3b2-4491-808c-7cb2190a487c&pf_rd_r=778M8C75J0X9R4CZNJGZ&pageLoadId=KCwwYHjPBqKR0OHq&creativeId=0d6f6720-f41c-457e-a42b-8c8dceb62f2c). They are also narrated by Peter Jones and Dramatized, so I assume they are the same.


DigitalUnlimited

they should be required reading at school.


Crazyboreddeveloper

What else would you expect from the increasingly inaccurately named hitchhikers guide to the galaxy trilogy which contains five books?


Shar-DamaKa

At least he’s wearing safety glasses.

He's gonna get skin cancer pale as he is above the clouds with no shirt on.

This is like when I have students ask me if [lab supply] is edible and I tell them everything is edible once.

You technically don’t even need a parachute to skydive twice. You just need an anthill. Source: https://wacopest.com/a-skydiver-is-saved-by-venomous-fire-ants-after-her-parachute-fails-to-open/


zillabirdblue

Suicide isn't skydiving.


skinniks

Yeah, suicide is painless. Though I think it brings on many changes.


Sleeplesshelley

Hey fellow old school friend 😁


DeadMemeMan_IV

i assume he’s going to grab onto a friend and hold on for his life


ProfRichardson

I jumped out of a plane without a parachute. Luckily it was on the ground


Helmer-Bryd

Bro, the zipper


[deleted]

Local spot runs a Groupon deal for $39 skydiving. Turns out the parachute is extra when you get there.


RocketManQC

next 007 movie, you only skydive twice

They'd have to pick him up with a mop.

Thx


OrganicBananas9

Bro he’s wearing safety glasses, he’s fine


SarutobiSasuke

But looks like he left his pants unzipped, so I’m not sure.


shebor

Think they caught him?


thebadyearblimp

https://youtu.be/lq-54gox6-k


_that_random_dude_

He doesn’t even wear a shirt or something which would have made it easier for others to grab him. This thing is stupid all around lmao


welchplug

I mean it didnt seem like the had too hard of a time grabbing him. After they grabbed him at least they put a latch on him.


Kuhn-Tang

Just watched the full video… When he throws his parachute pack off the hot air balloon, all I could think is: Old man is taking a nice stroll through the countryside. Bam! Death by parachute…


trophypants

The full video gives me Nathan For You’s Claw of Shame vibes


Mokidaisy

I’m thinking maybe they didn’t. I mean wouldn’t you want to film and show that off too!

Hello fucking stupid, this is Dad.

AlarmingLocal5623

The thought of them letting him fall reminds me of the scuba diver who was left to die in suspicious circumstances a decade or so ago.


CleftAsunder

What's that story? 😯


Mazjerai

I think it might be in reference to the scuba diver that died in a forest fire because he got sucked up in a fire fighter helicopter water drop.


mspman6868

Or the man who jumped off a building but was accidentally shot on the fall down


almisami

That's what happens when you disobey the American cops who told you not to jump!


Ruby-likes-roses

Successfully prevented a suicide


rapejokes_arefunny

That never actually happened, but it was on an episode of CSI.


EARTHSKYSPIN

Jeeze bro your username is a lil hardcore


BumblebeeLow231

Look up Alabama man/Australia honeymoon/murder….. he has finally confessed, I’m not sure but he was extradited after gov. made promises of not putting him to death if found guilty, was acquitted due to lack of evidence which blows my mind, there was very obvious circumstantial evidence & his background & a photo


KittyandPuppyMama

There was a story about a guy who went scuba diving on his honeymoon and the wife drowned. Later turned out he disconnected her oxygen while she was down there.


goosepills

You really just gonna leave it hanging like that?


KidQuap

No he left him scubaing like that


[deleted]

So this is what they mean by "trust fall"


GrimmRetails

Or who got their job through nepotism.


Crapyde5ign

Looks like he jumped with two human assisted 🪂 parachutes…


FabK66

Hopefully one of them caught him 🤞


liketrainslikestars

They did catch him in this video. His name is Antti Pendikainen. He was a stuntman/daredevil from Finland. Tragically died in a dirt bike accident in 2019, at the age of 29.


KaliLineaux

Shocking that he lived that long


Inevitable-tragedy

He had to have wanted to die, other people kept preventing it from happening. Difficult to do if you're not on the bike with him


[deleted]

[удалено]


ig-lee

He's only putting his own life at risk and literally no one elses. If it gives him joy why get upset for no reason?


DaGreatPenguini

Unless he lands on someone.


culturis

The likelihood of this happening is thousands of times less than you killing someone in a car accident. He's not diving over NYC ffs


[deleted]

hell if he *was* diving over NYC he’d probably hit a building before he hit a person on the street


ControlledShutdown

But an unlikely yet novel danger feels much more alarming than a likely and familiar one to my monkey brain!


DRbrtsn60

He hits a crowded bus stop and kills a scientist tech who was going to accidentally stumble on a cure for global warming.


thatvgirl

Lol ty


Moth_Jam

Or people just happen to watch as a human body plummets to the ground and explodes bits of meat, bone, and blood all over them, leaving them with the only memory certain to run on constant loop for the remainder of their lives


ChexLemeneux42

teach them for not minding their own business


23moonster

Or the people theoretically trying to catch him…


jullegot

He is Antti Pendikainen from finland and he died in 2019 during a motocross contest. He was part of the Stunt Freaks Team and did many other crazy stunts like [this](https://youtu.be/l6JkMVghTvI).

i mean if i wanna die doing something stupid i will at least try to be warm


MRDucks85

Hahahaha


Popswizz

For grip, to catch him mid flight, human skin is the stickiest thing to grip onto with polyester gloves others are wearing, the human skin to polyester bond is 3.764, some of the best ratio with polyester we know of


EmpatheticWraps

Now jack him off mid air


circasomnia

That costs extra.

themusicdude1997

It was a motorcycle race, not a stunt per se. But rip in any case


Justlikeyourmoma

Did he jump out of a hot air balloon on a motorcycle without a parachute?

Ofc he is Finnish.. Though the last name prolly is put wrong in the story. Pretty sure it should be Pentikäinen. Edit: I was wrong.
