I know nothing about parachutes, but watching that "costume" that looks as heavy as fuck...I wouldnt dear to even risk a dummy. poor delusional guy. I can feel he knew he had no chance in the last moment....he hesitate too much.
The moment when you knew you were gonna die but can't do anything is the scariest moment.
I've often thought that falling from a great hieght must be the most frightening way to die due to the inevitability of death at that moment. You know you're going to be killed, it will be painful if not mercifully brief when impact occurs and all your hopes and dreams are pointless in the face of it.
An autopsy showed that he had a heart attack on the way down...probably at the moment he realized that his parachute wasn't going to save him.
Unless you hate your life of course, then it must be great.
Its only the bit at the bottom that stings.
@@kathleencummings8081 they reported he died on the way down, but a heart attack doesn't kill someone in 3 seconds. I think they were just telling people what they wanted to hear.
He used another kind of dummy.Same result....
I'm digging how enthusiastic this woman's narration is.
His last words were' "Fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency!!"
Imagine it would’ve worked. He would’ve been a legend and would’ve had flying people and cars by now 😂
It did it’s called parachuting 🪂 did you not listen. Smh
Even though he didn't make it, he still tried and that's why he's famous. RIP Franz Reichtelt
You didn't need the hospital to pronounce him dead.
Actually, you kind of do. It may seem obvious l, but only medical professionals can legally pronounce someone to be legally dead.
You need a licensed/qualified medical doctor to declare him dead in order to get an official death certificate.
I have tremendous respect for this man. He was the definition of balls. He had the courage and an intense belief in himself to do something very dangerous all in the name of innovation and creation. He should be applauded.
I saw this video in another video too.
You already commented this on another video..
@@sassysalmon93 and?
Really! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
well his belief in himself disappeared right before the jump.. he should have listened to his inner voice.
I still think he should of jumped off in a forward motion kinda like a super man dive… he literally just stepped off feet first like a pencil never giving the suit time to collect air.
This narration is a copy paste of Wiki.
3:00 nuff said
They all had sick ass mustaches, though
“bruh” -Franz Reichelt right before he hit the ground
dont make jokes about this bro he is dead just for a parachute, u will understand when ur older
Should have stuck to dressmaking.
Looks like footage from the old 60s TV show Fractured Flickers....
That shit looked like curtains just not a good idea smh
To infinity and beyond!!!
Honestly I can not believe what he did. He stood absolutely no chance
Such an amazing mustache, lost to early
The man had courage!
He died for ever
Not long only 5 years
He respawned elsewhere
His BALLS were too heavy. That’s why he failed the jump. Simples….
It had Nothing to do with the suit itself, as the design looked sound
I wish Joe Biden try that
Not so bad for Biden. He would fall asleep on the way down.
So..........Did he get a patent?????
Apparently did not have to worry about digging a hole for him because he dug it for himself
He had no idea of aerodynamics, and did not test with dummies first. Overconfidence is what killed him..
On another video it said in the original film that the police gave him permission to do dummy drops but never would have gave him permission to jump himself. They probably did give him permission but I'm gonna believe they lied and said they didn't because they didn't want the heat.
I’m calling that the police told him not do it still. The police in their right mind would never have allowed this without any proper safety precautions (which there were none) due to how much of a liability this was.
He did invent the wing suit ...A 1000 feet would have made a huge difference in the crater size 🦇
25 évvel később Clem Sohn újra megpróbálta. Repülőgépről ugrott. Az eredmény ugyanez.
I-Fell
My goodness not a good idea
If that suit still exist, will someone please send it to Trump.
The title is misleading. This tailor did not fly.
Why cant we never see the bodies after the accidents thats why we are here
The Timothy Treadwell of the air.
Scary Movie.
I've read Franz's story and he was definitely a man of ambition, and in some ways strong headed in his refusal to accept that his invention would likely not work. It's disturbing and inspiring to see Franz hesitate as thoughts race trough his head and then summon up enough courage take the leap. Success might have brought local fame and maybe even monetary income, failure was almost certain death! It's in these moments that human nature is either viewed as intensely brave or incredibly foolish or perhaps both. Either way, at least Franz lived his story and his story lives.
- I designed parachute, boss.
- would you like to try with dummy first?
- nah, I'll be fine.
Poor man was obviously a few biscuits short of a packet
Looking at the footage, he just stepped off vertical, I’d have thought that he should have jumped off with a horizontal dive,
If he had done a horizontal dive, he may have hurt himself.
Je ne connaîtrai pas la peur car la peur tue l'esprit. La peur est la petite mort qui conduit à l'oblitération totale. J'affronterai ma peur. Je lui permettrai de passer sur moi, au travers de moi. Et lorsqu'elle sera passée, je tournerai mon œil intérieur sur son chemin. Et là où elle sera passée, il n'y aura plus rien. Rien que moi.

Why do you sound like a TV shop commercial
More the Falling Tailor
Wing suit dreamer.
Tailor 33 year old!?)(
The Fact that somebody from the US came up with a better invention 2 days later is a Huge Shade to France 🇫🇷 🪂 🤣
And your making a joke about a guy that died?
Brave man
Stupidity is not bravery....
Stupid !!
What that film clip really needs is to cut to a sign reading "Ker-Splat!" right after he hits the ground.
That was a serious splat! 😮
Looks like a failed Tik Tok..
Its rude he die Treefiddycent how would it feel when some one makes fun of your death
