Man Jumps Out of a Plane Wearing Shorts And No Parachute watch!

youtube.com — On Sept. 26, 2007, Travis Pastrana jumped out of an airplane over Arecibo, Puerto Rico, without a parachute. In a carefully choreographed stunt, he met up in midair with another jumper, then lashed himself into a harness in time to make a safe tandem landing.

    • Dokument, on 03/02/2008, -13/+5its not the fall that kills you.
      • norman619, on 03/02/2008, -3/+34It's the stupidity that does usually.
        • shagg187, on 03/02/2008, -1/+5and the ear piercing scream in the end of the clip.
          • ennTOXX, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1or the ground that hits you... :||
          • GliTCH82, on 03/02/2008, -0/+2Actually it's you hitting the ground.
      • rompom7, on 03/02/2008, -1/+2... it's the insane girlfriend afterwards?
      • jlmillstein, on 03/02/2008, -0/+7I was expecting a video of a guy jumping from the door of a plane sitting on a runway or something.
      • PhoenixReborn, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1It's your internal organs and likely your brain being crushed.
      • souljaboytellem, on 03/03/2008, -0/+1Your right, its all those damn cigarettes you smoke :)
    • norman619, on 03/02/2008, -9/+18He's got nothing on Bear Grylls.
      • EndersGame, on 03/02/2008, -8/+25Huh? You do know Bear's show is mostly fake right? For the most part everything he does is scripted.
        • kilikogo, on 03/02/2008, -2/+25I think he's talking about the time Bear jumped out of a plane, and had both his main and backup parachutes fail, and survived,
        • norman619, on 03/02/2008, -1/+2Everything he does on the show is real. Now the only "fake" thing about the show is that he does not spend the night in the elements like the show makes it look like he does. But yeah I was talking about the show where he jumped out of a plane.
      • stupidStan, on 03/02/2008, -5/+4How dare you speak ill of Bear Grylls!!! Even if it is true... I don't care - he is the man!!!
        Come on now.. he squeezed poop into his mouth and drank the juice... how much more badass can you get?
      • Vowieotw, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1Travis should have done naked push-ups when he landed.
    • aphexcoil, on 03/02/2008, -5/+39Girlfriend? With balls like that he probably has a whole harem of women. Damn, that is some extreme *****!
      • h4mx0r, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4Next stunt: He will have sex with a girl during freefall and still have enough time to put on a parachute and safely land.
      • Blackninja4ever, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1EXTREEEEME!
    • neilpan, on 03/02/2008, -2/+15Darwin must flip....
    • eyefork, on 03/02/2008, -7/+13My hooker does flips when I give her money.
    • TrueJustice, on 03/02/2008, -32/+2This guy is a pussy, he needed two people to come with him in case he couldnt hold onto the first one....Chuck Norris would kill everyone then ride the wing of the plane into the ground as he crashed it with his mind!
      • JeffD, on 03/02/2008, -2/+6Don't forget that while falling he would descend at 88 miles per hour, go back in time and crash to the earth on top of Hitler killing him and preventing WW2 from happening.
      • jo3design, on 03/02/2008, -0/+11"Anna Nicole Smith is dead?"
        "Yeah, unfortunately, not only did we lose her in 2007, we lost Chuck Norris jokes."
        "Not if TrueJustice can help it!"

        let it go, man. fight the urge.
      • Ataxia2008, on 03/02/2008, -1/+4Christian Bale is the new Chuck Norris, but w/out the religious *****.
    • BriscoeJr, on 03/02/2008, -1/+23I thought Chuck Norris jokes were out.
      • eyefork, on 03/02/2008, -3/+26When were Chuck Norris jokes in?
      • mrgreenjeans, on 03/04/2008, -0/+1My co-worker was yelling "new" Chuck Norris jokes the other day. I wanted to punch him.
    • Beshitehboss, on 03/02/2008, -5/+3If he doesn't.. someone give him my number please... I'd hit that. :D

      I can imagine the first date:
      This scar is from this time i flew off the Grand Canyon... this other one is from when my bike "bit me in the @$$"... Fun stuff
    • HonestAbe, on 03/02/2008, -1/+2I'm sure he has plenty of girlfriends.
    • cdiaz90, on 03/02/2008, -1/+1didn't know Pastrana was a MC Hammer fan
      http://thumbnail.search.aolcdn.com/aais/EMI/media/ ...
    • calon9, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3One of his buddies did a perfect Howard Dean yell when he touched down.
    • fatcatman, on 03/04/2008, -0/+0You know, some people just do whatever the ***** they want and don't care if their girlfriends "flip." Interestingly, these guys usually have no trouble getting women. More men should try it instead of being "Yes, dear" pussies. Women don't respect men who tow the line.
    • fox1080, on 03/09/2008, -0/+0Funny that you said that. Travis' girlfriend literally flips. Sarah whitmore was the first woman to flip a dirt bike.
  • warner444, on 03/02/2008, -4/+34hooked on a rush. made a good video though. I wonder if he will have to try bullfighting with a paper napkin next?
    • goldpress, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4Given a choice of the two, I'll happily take your suggestion over jumping with no parachute. I can move when I'm scared. There really isn't much you can do if you don't make it into the harness as fast as needed.
    • Icupnimpn2, on 03/02/2008, -12/+2I hate to break it to you, but there was a parachute. Maybe it wasn't attached to his back, and maybe it was attached to someone else, but in the end, he parachuted to the ground, right? "Man Jumps Out of a Plane Wearing Shorts And No Parachute" under these circumstances is like saying, "Man Travels the Autobahn Wearing Rain Galoshes at 200 Kph With No Car" just because someone was in the back of a pick-up truck.
    • Walker2323, on 03/02/2008, -2/+1You need to get out more
    • HayString, on 03/02/2008, -0/+3It's not like the cape gives the bullfighter much, if any, protection.
  • vangogh99, on 03/02/2008, -2/+145Oddly it's one of the safer things he's done.
    • snoox, on 03/02/2008, -6/+1t'yea on wiki it says he dislocated his spine from his hip bone on one crash.... guy is craaaazeeee
    • Klisk, on 03/02/2008, -21/+4Honestly this is a pretty weak jump. This was done for the Jackass Evil Kineval tribute with only one 'lifeline' jumper instead of 2, and the person jumping without the parachute had a much more impressive freefall/fall time. This pales painfully in comparison.
      • Duke999R, on 03/02/2008, -1/+15Maybe so, but Travis did it first.
        BTW, it's Evel Knievel :)
      • remotehuman, on 03/02/2008, -1/+9after you jump out of a plane without a parachute and there is any amount of people to save your ass, then you can make comments, until then your comment has been officially revoked by the people.
        • Klisk, on 03/03/2008, -1/+1If you're going to put yourself on video as a badass, don't halfass it.
    • Iamironman, on 03/03/2008, -1/+2Point Break anyone? Keanu did it with a gun in his hand... badass
  • DarkerMaster, on 03/02/2008, -6/+359Red Bull Gives You Wings!!!
    • DrywallThief, on 03/02/2008, -1/+67When this video first started I was thinking, "Red Bull viral video?"
      • Vizin, on 03/02/2008, -1/+7Same.
      • deflective, on 03/02/2008, -2/+20i'm still thinking it
      • mindsnare, on 03/02/2008, -0/+14no thinking to be done, it is. The guy doing it is a professional motox rider, sponsered by red bull.
    • mgalarneau, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1hahah I was thinking exactly the same thing lol
    • Florence44, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1He must be smoking crack
    • thailand1972, on 03/02/2008, -2/+9I notice he lobbed the can while in midair - someone might get a sore head.
    • doeboyfreshx, on 03/02/2008, -0/+2He has Balls of steel... Steel...
  • blinker265, on 03/02/2008, -5/+20it was to honor evil knievel...do you expect any less?
    • rhinocirrus, on 03/02/2008, -19/+5No it wasn't! you guys are so inaccurate, it is absolutely retarded. What if I told you this jump was made last September, and the Evil Knievel jump was made in early 2008 for the Jackass 24 hour takeover? Digg is just another gay site with a bunch of fan boys! Valiant effort, but digg is just like every other news source out there. When a story shows up that you know something about, and you compare it to how it is portrayed, it is like night and day. The facts are so ***** that you can't believe it was even dugg to this level. Great effort, but I have had it.
      • unr8d, on 03/02/2008, -3/+9Dude, get a life and get over it.
      • HiKevinRose, on 03/02/2008, -0/+5Although correct, you didn't have to be a dick about it.
      • Locke23, on 03/02/2008, -0/+5EVEL!
      • remotehuman, on 03/02/2008, -0/+2sooo... aren't you here for the same reason... or do you feel your a special species today?
  • ufia, on 03/02/2008, -69/+7He went into all this trouble to risk his life for attention, and I stopped caring after about 2 minutes. >Fail<
    • DarkerMaster, on 03/02/2008, -3/+64The Vid is only 1:07 long. What did you watch it twice or something?
    • ozid, on 03/02/2008, -1/+31Travis Pastrana is a professional dirtbike rider and rally car driver. He did a double backflip on a dirtbike a couple years back.

      Obviously he doesn't mind risking his life.

    • Mootabolife, on 03/02/2008, -0/+2Bond did it first, so it's pretty well scripted.
    • thailand1972, on 03/02/2008, -0/+7Would have been really funny if his mates decided to stay on the plane

        • Myztry, on 03/02/2008, -2/+10I dugg him back up because your feelings don't count...

    • btdub, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1Actually, it's reported that they're not actually "stones" per se, but more along the lines of large steal golf balls that go "ting, ting, ting" as he walks away. Thats just what I read though.

    • cor315, on 03/02/2008, -2/+9so it would be amazing if he jumped out of a plane and died? you're an idiot.
    • Chris_F, on 03/02/2008, -1/+19OK, so you are saying that it would only have been impressive if he had allowed himself to hit the ground at 120mph?
      • BriscoeJr, on 03/02/2008, -2/+1And lived? Yeah, that'd be pretty ***** impressive.
    • trilli4n, on 03/02/2008, -1/+4have you ever jumped out of an airplane with no parachute?
      • screensnot, on 03/02/2008, -0/+6I have!

        Fortunately, the plane was safely parked on the ground at the time, because I didn't have a buddy with a parachute ready to save me.

    • keyboardcowboy, on 03/02/2008, -1/+5Travis pastrana, profession FMX rider, rally car driver, all around crazy guy. He has a series of DVDs out where he and his friends do crazy stunts called Nitro Circus

  • keyboardcowboy, on 03/02/2008, -2/+16What else do you expect from a guy doing double back flips on dirtbikes, travis is nuts
  • SifooD, on 03/02/2008, -2/+3Surreal.
  • pcx99, on 03/02/2008, -3/+27The "ambiguously gay duo" should sue.

    • climbon321, on 03/02/2008, -1/+3not crazier, but still an awesome video. thanks for sharing.
    • HiKevinRose, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1Yeah, that was totally nuts. I'm heading back to the GC this summer for the second time in my life. It's really awe-inspiring.
    • Tomoir, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1Holy *****, look at the title of the second related video of the Grand Canyon thing...
  • dasutin, on 03/02/2008, -10/+4How the hell did the guy with the parachute hold onto the guy when he opened it, the force of the parachute opening would have made the guy slip out of his hands?
    • D3koy, on 03/02/2008, -2/+7If I'm not mistaken, rope and whatnot was tied to hold them together...
    • HonestAbe, on 03/02/2008, -2/+2It's hard to tell from the video, but I assumed they put another parachute on him in midair.
  • carve, on 03/02/2008, -11/+4Wow....that took balls of brass and a brain of stone. Darwin awards honorable mention for sure. I mean...that was just plain risky without being spectacular. What's the point?
  • JamesBond, on 03/02/2008, -8/+47Did I just witness gay sex?

  • sovietninja, on 03/02/2008, -10/+5I hope he keeps up with this, and stays out of my COLIN MCRAE (God bless) RALLY. Everytime I start DiRt up im wanna punch him in the face. However, he would probably jump out of a plane and punch me in the face and kill me. Gah.
  • Squeeky, on 03/02/2008, -0/+39This is the same man who rolled a rally car a dozen times at near 100mph and was cheering afterwards. Travis is certifiably insane.

      • Kiloboba, on 03/02/2008, -0/+1Well I have to say I wasn't trying to be cool. I just wish this digg was called Travis Pastrana Jumps without chute as opposed to some guy.
  • Aines, on 03/02/2008, -1/+2Foolish to point I respect it
  • LStone, on 03/02/2008, -1/+6For some reason I feel like having a Red Bull. hmmmm
  • replaysMike, on 03/02/2008, -0/+15His buddies should have messed with him for a minute and stayed just out of reach. Ah the hilarity that would ensue.
  • KiltedMile, on 03/02/2008, -12/+4Dumb = Travis Pastrana http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Pastrana
    • seanieb, on 03/02/2008, -0/+9Dont confuse trill seekers with dumb people.

      I would consider a short adventurous life preferable to a a long life sitting on the couch not risking or experiencing anything.
  • erbalot, on 03/02/2008, -1/+4The guys got balls.
  • wipis, on 03/02/2008, -1/+7I heard about this and wouldn't have believed it. That is freaking nuts. Almost as crazy as they guy who wants to jump from a plane and land with no parachute.

    • tmyprod, on 03/02/2008, -0/+4I cant wait to hear about it in 2005!

  • aoru, on 03/02/2008, -5/+18I guess he could of parachuted down with his gigantic balls if it came down to it. Travis Pastrana is a god.
