I know of one man who has landed multiple times without a parachute and most likely the most distinguished to have broken the most bones throughout his stunt career. Who was this man? Evel Knievel!
This makes me think that something like this could be a new safety device in case of malfunction, like "If both main and reserve are hosed, try to land here".
After you take out your time then what do you do with it..? and where is it being taken out from? How much is there? Is it heavy? What size is it? Is it expensive? Would it not be easier to just leave your time in?
@Oftin Wong Lol it is idiot. THis is typical, something never done before and almost everybody saying it's impossible and when it's done it suddenly not impossible it becomes less impressive. Fuck off dude.
This is a HANO jump, High Altitude No Opening. A bit difficult to use for inserting special forces when you first have to get a team in place to set up a massive pile of empty boxes.
Ill name call him, he's a fucking idiot and this isn't a landing. Get ready for the mad morons who think jumping to your death is a cool way to die while leaving all your loved ones behind to suffer for your selfish kicks.
Gary Gary he's the man. He jumped out a helicopter with a crazy plan. He flew through the air gracefully but quick. Damn Bro you just had to make that landing stick. For if you had not I'd be writing RIP Gary. I'm glad you're alive, cuz that jump sure was scary. Cool vid man! Thanks for posting! ✌

Gutsy. I bet the hardest part of this stunt, though, was all the math used to figure out just how far he could fly when jumping from a specific altitude. Would need to take winds into account, too. Kudos to the helo pilot for pre-positioning him so accurately. Even with a GPS there must have been little room for error.
These suits usually have a 3 to 1 ratio meaning for every foot you go down you go forward 3 feet so say he jumped from 1000 feet he needed to be 3000 feet from the landing site.
True. I guess even practicing it using a parachute, the weight of the parachute vs none, would have to be taken into consideration? Makes one wonder how late one could safely deploy a parachute in this sport?
@@OmmerSyssel Many folks don't understand we can control to a great degree, the glide ratio. it's not a fixed glide ratio, and depending on wingloading, G/R have been as high as 5:1. There are many examples of even brief climbs in altitude. Hitting the boxes was not any kind of calculation. Had he been any range within 1 mile of the target, hitting the target is relatively easy. Being able to pull a good stall like Gary did, or being able to contain the glide slope is the bigger consideration. Gary did this perfectly, as indicated by his stall just above the cardboard ramp, and his short touchdown length. The unknowable factor is the courage it took to jump with this goal in the first place. Funny side note, there are a couple wingsuit pilots who boasted for many years, that they'd be the first in the world to do this, presenting plans costing millions of dollars and years in planning. Gary heard these claims, and within a couple months had a plan and he just "did it." He is not only an incredibly talented person, he's als an incredibly genuine and humble man.
That's insane but just as insane was how low the camera guy was when he deployed his chute. I don't think either are playing with a full deck really. Great job though
Very small parachutes have the same or very similar glide ratios as wing suits. They can move nearly as fast as wingsuits. His parachute was opened when the camera cut from one scene to the next at 1:33
What is the landing speed, what is the stall speed of the suit, What is the glide ratio of that suit with his weight in still air no head wind. With right calculations you might be able to pull up, stall and land on feet if the glide ratio is high enough . . . or not
Leaving aside the danger aspect, just from the physics point of view: I wonder if this can be done even more effectively. Like, fall on a curve that ends aiming upwards at the very end. Shoudn't that be possible? That way, you might even be able to land on your feet, if the landing spot was elevated.
@@jaybee3165 I still think it is theoretically possible. Look up "Wingsuit Flare" where they describe how to gain altitude (of course not for the sake of landing).
If you don't make it you will still land. This is amazing when you think about all the planning that went into it! The physics involved in doing this, knowing that you have one chance! The weight of a falling body in a wingsuit. The height of the drop. The wind speed, the direction of the wind. The down draft from the blades of the helicopter. The angle of insertion from the drop moment. The trajectory that is needed, the angle of approach, the flair point, etc. You did it! Now, you got lucky and don't do it again. The odds are against you.

amazing control to land exactly on a small strip of cardboard from a hight of 2,400 feet. in a wingsuit. Too bad most people do not understand how difficult it must be.
I get it, but I dunno, man. I don’t know how difficult brain surgery or heart transplants are, but I certainly don’t appreciate them any less. I also don’t even begin to understand how difficult it is to build a service like TH-cam and keep it running well enough for random people to leave comments on random videos, but I still appreciate the heck out of that, too. But when you do understand the difficulty, I’m sure it does add another dimension of appreciation for someone’s hard work. I work in cybersecurity and I can guarantee that people have no idea how difficult that is - you have to be right every single time and the bad guys only have to be right once - but I still keep doing it and love doing it. And I also appreciate how difficult it is to make sure that it’s you who’s making comments on your account instead of me or someone else. What I know about what I do does give me a greater appreciation of someone else’s excellence in my field. So I get where you’re coming from.
Minimizing drag to ensure the most lift from the suit. Also, cameras add just a little bit of distraction, he probably didn't want anything on his mind besides jumping, deploying, and landing,
@@user-it5po2dq9w not on the water the secret is to reduce speed at the perfect timing juste before landing close to the water surface. I think they need to make some modifications on the wing. But it’s not impossible.
"Thank you thank you. The practice jumps, dedication and determination have paid off. Thank you. Anybody wanna box? Free boxes!" That is a badass video. Thanks.
Actually Christopher flaring is not all birds do if you watch closely while they flare they employ reverse thrust with their wings this not only helps keep them aloft in the flare, but it also slows them down and assists the flare in stopping them...
@@FSEVENMAN From my perspective that's what a flare is, it's not just facing the wings forward in some fashion but a range of motion that checks airspeed. However, even if all a wingsuit can eventually do is check airspeed by changing the wing aspect, that's a great improvement that if it slows a person down enough a tumble landing could be had...no worse maybe than an army landing...a ww2 landing, lol. Less likely is a modern "step-off" landing imo.
One of the craziest things ever made by a man. It's at the same level of the first no-parachute fall into a giant net, the Felix Baumgartner jump, the first steps of Armstrong on the moon and the flight of Charles Lindbergh.
Based on what Deemster said. I wonder if you could actually do a landing on a runway with wheels, brakes, etc. Or touch and go until you lose so much speed you can just bounce off a couple boxes to stop. Or a padded wall.
Reed Icculus If he landed in water from that height even WITH a wingsuit he'd be dead. Slamming into water from heights like that is no different than hitting concrete...Mythbusters tested that myth ages ago..twice. Once with buster the dummy for breaking the water's surface tension with a hammer to make it survivable from a bridge's height and then later with simdavers from a helicopter..both times did NOT end well for the guy hitting water. The wingsuit isn't a parachute, it's more for a controlled long distance glide used with a parachute for a safe landing..without a parachute you'd be going too fast on landing to survive unless you did what Gary here did and used all those boxes to slow down his impact over time and distance upon contact..and I promise you that probably still hurt quite a bit on first impact even if it's softish cardboard.
Yep that’s correct.....the one guy said right.....it’s said.....crashed into the boxes with style.....be’s still ‘s move’s but you would think that them boxes are really not the soft .....I mean cardboard.......lol
You know......my thoughts...is......who is the brainchild that’s going on to “think “ that’s “ we have been tested wing suits.....and we Think.....that’s we...think we are about ready for the attempt that’s we are try to jump from a helicopter of a height of 2000 feet.......without any Parachute....wearing nothing but a winged suit......and then the person will land standing up for a TV Interviews........for everyone............
If you listen to this video of the chase-jumper, you can hear a metallic clanking sound upon impact from the landing, even 1000 feet away. Upon investigation, it only turned out to be Gary's balls.....
Shame he didn't have a camera on him, although I understand how dangerous it could have been to have one on his helmet with the acceleration/deceleration he would have experienced on hitting the boxes.
I did the same thing and was disappointed there was no land in just a crash into a bunch of boxes. I would have been even more disappointed had I watched the whole thing.
No, it absolutely WAS a landing. He flared, resulting in most of his momentum being horizontal rather than vertical, at the time of touchdown. That is pretty much the definition of a landing. There's no way he could have survived if he'd just "crashed" into the boxes (i.e. without flaring), as you seem to imply.
That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The balls of this guy just to think about doing it. Maybe Icarus should waited until the invention of proper glue.
That's more of a " crash landing " I was expecting to see something more like a smooth runway landing, rather than crashing into a foam pit . Imagine how awesome it would be if there was such a capability as a wing suit with a built in landing gear .
Boy I thought I had a lot of balls! my hats off to that man! I was so proud to watch somebody intentionally do that! like I said, I salute that man! That's a big man right there!!!
I was really hoping he had figured out a technique to 'pull up' just above the ground and land in his feet. It was impressive, but more of a crash landing stunt. I imagine it takes a bit of school to line it up like that, but probably no more difficult than other obstacle avoidance videos.
Eric B You can do that, just deploy the parachute..... Yet it’s blokes like Gary who lead the way for us all to be able to eventually get to a grass landing.....
In addition to all the other complexities, his approach to land was a long straight in. With a left-base approach to the runway, one has more latitude. Coming in low, turn toward the runway sooner. Coming in hot and high, veer a bit farther from the landing zone before turning final. A long straight-in approach is the most difficult, especially with no power to control the rate of descent. Good job, Gary!
Petros Kefallinos Interesting suggestion... I don't agree. GoPros have been subject to intense impact from all sorts of hardcore sports. Not to mention, we put batteries all over the place. Places much harsher than the conditions that a human body could survive flying into cardboard boxes. Also, places where the 'explosive' failure of a battery would be disastrous.
Chan nel I really just said something that could be possible, i don't base it on anything... i searched on the internet the vertical speed of a wingsuiter is around 50km/h and the forward 170km/h so i am guessing that this video is fake because it would be very hard to damp all this energy, also i believe that they would have made the ''runway'' a little bit wider if there was a life at play there...
Petros Kefallinos Wingsuiters fly meters away under and over objects all the time. The tolerances seem acceptable for someone who knows what they're doing. As for dampening that much force, weirdly enough, cardboard boxes are often used to dampen extreme impacts like this in film making with stunt doubles and the like, because for some strange reason they're really really reliable at doing it and they're cheap. Highest recorded stunt-type drop I could find was from Ferdie Fischer, who fell 45 meters into cardboard boxes, which means he'd be traveling at 107km/h on impact. He used far far fewer boxes. Additionally, it appears wingsuiter Gary Connery was taking measures to minimize his speed on impact, which is very much not a thing wingsuiters would do to this extreme, so he'd probably be moving at a significantly slower speed than the average wingsuiter. This is all crudely applied estimation of course, but the numbers don't seem THAT unreasonable.
You mean 'superhero three point landing'? That would shatter your legs in a nanosecond..doing it from STUNT height without ropes and pulleys to compensate hurts like hell..Because Science has a video on that here on TH-cam.
This could revolutionise wingsuiting. Amazing! A jumper leaps with 5,000 flat-packed boxes, assembles them, then does a few hundred assembly flybys to get them stacked before smacking into them, Head first, at about 40 mph. And hope they're not soggy... 😃
I kind of have a feeling he's moving a little bit more up there it at about 95 miles an hour I could be wrong though sir, terminal velocity is about 120 miles an hour, I dumped one of my motorcycles on the freeway doing about 55 or 60 miles an hour, I sure would have rather had them boxes just to decelerate my speed rather than bouncing on the freeway for about 200 ft 250 ft I just off my cuff I would say 95 miles an hour,

It's a shame that cameras are so expensive and rare that they couldn't manage to have one on the ground to actually, you know, see what happened.
Or have him wearing one🤔
There is another one filmed from the ground showing his landing into the boxes.

He did come in quite high. But luckily, the "runway" was still more than long enough.
We don't allow people with that amount of beans in them in aircraft!
His massive bollocks would have left bigger holes in the runway than the Vulcans that bombed Stanley Airport in the battle for the Falklands.
When I see good videos like this I usually take out my time to appreciate the experts that make these videos possible.
You are right my friend, when I got introduced to him I was surprised because I felt a man of that talent should be well known and appreciated.

But when you do understand the difficulty, I’m sure it does add another dimension of appreciation for someone’s hard work. I work in cybersecurity and I can guarantee that people have no idea how difficult that is - you have to be right every single time and the bad guys only have to be right once - but I still keep doing it and love doing it. And I also appreciate how difficult it is to make sure that it’s you who’s making comments on your account instead of me or someone else. What I know about what I do does give me a greater appreciation of someone else’s excellence in my field. So I get where you’re coming from.
After seeing this, Mr Parachute invented the popular device that still bears his name.
Why the fuck would anyone do this without a gopro...
Minimizing drag to ensure the most lift from the suit. Also, cameras add just a little bit of distraction, he probably didn't want anything on his mind besides jumping, deploying, and landing,
Parachute be cheaper than arranging a million boxes but hey.
true because he still didnt land on pavement using only the wingsuit.
@David Benner way use the boxes use the pavement!!
He could have stayed on the ground drinking a beer. Would have saved him about half an hour and lots of money.
They used up all their camera funding on boxes
I think it’s possible to have a perfect land without protection. He’s close to find the solution it’s crazy but sooooo cool 👍🏻
How?
@@user-it5po2dq9w Landing like a plane it’s just a question of speed during the landing
@@vincefrommenton wouldn't that injure the person badly?
@@user-it5po2dq9w not on the water the secret is to reduce speed at the perfect timing juste before landing close to the water surface. I think they need to make some modifications on the wing. But it’s not impossible.
When I watched that for a second time, it's amazing how close he came to overshooting.
That’s what she said.
he hit exactly the same spot as the first time you watched it.
I was thinking the same....
Don't forget to put out the cardboard boxes in the recycling bin when you're done.
🤣🤣🤣
yeah..but break them down or they won't pick them up
There is a book I just read called " bird dreams" by Matt Higgins which is all about this and other wingsuit stunts. Great read 👍
Fantastic confidence in his ability to land at just the right spot!
"Thank you thank you. The practice jumps, dedication and determination have paid off. Thank you. Anybody wanna box? Free boxes!"
That is a badass video. Thanks.
visitors obviously gave a couple of box to see this happening
That's cheating. He needs to land on his feet. Then I'm IMPRESSED
Normally this kind of jackassery starts with the phrase "Hold my beer"
Dude, YOU STOLE MY LINE! 😂
Haha jackassery...
Nah, usually it starts with the words "hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville"
Sometimes it starts with hey y'all watch this
He protected his neck. But imagine the staples his balls went through In All those boxes
Had wutang playing in his headphones...
They next time it will be duct tape holding the boxes instead of staples
balls made into julienne fries
He could at least have those boxes labeled Amazon. Gary sending it big times!
Eventually somebody will figure out how to build a suit that can flare, which is all birds do to check forward momentum.
They already did that in the 70's, it was called a "hang glider".
@@jimrobinson7441 Ha. Time to miniaturise, then
Actually Christopher flaring is not all birds do if you watch closely while they flare they employ reverse thrust with their wings this not only helps keep them aloft in the flare, but it also slows them down and assists the flare in stopping them...
@@FSEVENMAN From my perspective that's what a flare is, it's not just facing the wings forward in some fashion but a range of motion that checks airspeed. However, even if all a wingsuit can eventually do is check airspeed by changing the wing aspect, that's a great improvement that if it slows a person down enough a tumble landing could be had...no worse maybe than an army landing...a ww2 landing, lol. Less likely is a modern "step-off" landing imo.
The obvious problem is the timing of the flare. Too soon, quite the drop. Too late...
Absolutely epic!! Well done again Gary
There are many stories of people landing without a parachute. I've even heard that some of them survived.
I didnt read the description and skipped right to 1:55, i thought he landed on some wooden bridge and splattered into blood.
So did I lmao
This isn't a logan paul vid they wouldn't show that.
Lil Oof
qwertiedota same 😂😂
I was hoping something of the sort myself.
Note the application of duct tape; no doubt, that’s why it worked.
Yes surely it must have been. 😂
One of the craziest things ever made by a man. It's at the same level of the first no-parachute fall into a giant net, the Felix Baumgartner jump, the first steps of Armstrong on the moon and the flight of Charles Lindbergh.
One of these comparisons does not belong.
Also comparable to the discovery of fire, the creation of life, and the big bang
@@Superkuh2 He forgot the cameraman who filmed the first steps of Armstrong on the moon!
"Hey Carl, did you remember to take all the jars of jam out of the boxes? Carl? Why is Carl running away?"
Pretty cool. Maybe you could add just a drag chute for the last bit, or some Stark Industries palm repulsors.
Based on what Deemster said.
I wonder if you could actually do a landing on a runway with wheels, brakes, etc. Or touch and go until you lose so much speed you can just bounce off a couple boxes to stop.
Or a padded wall.
That's not a landing, it's crashing into boxes with style.
Reed Icculus If he landed in water from that height even WITH a wingsuit he'd be dead. Slamming into water from heights like that is no different than hitting concrete...Mythbusters tested that myth ages ago..twice. Once with buster the dummy for breaking the water's surface tension with a hammer to make it survivable from a bridge's height and then later with simdavers from a helicopter..both times did NOT end well for the guy hitting water. The wingsuit isn't a parachute, it's more for a controlled long distance glide used with a parachute for a safe landing..without a parachute you'd be going too fast on landing to survive unless you did what Gary here did and used all those boxes to slow down his impact over time and distance upon contact..and I promise you that probably still hurt quite a bit on first impact even if it's softish cardboard.
He could flare...then it would be more like bodysurfing at...80MPH?
Yep that’s correct.....the one guy said right.....it’s said.....crashed into the boxes with style.....be’s still ‘s move’s but you would think that them boxes are really not the soft .....I mean cardboard.......lol
I think I would have gotten something with foam.....or a bit softer then cardboard
You know......my thoughts...is......who is the brainchild that’s going on to “think “ that’s “ we have been tested wing suits.....and we Think.....that’s we...think we are about ready for the attempt that’s we are try to jump from a helicopter of a height of 2000 feet.......without any Parachute....wearing nothing but a winged suit......and then the person will land standing up for a TV Interviews........for everyone............
With enough cardboard boxes, you wouldn't need a damn wing suit...
I double dare you..
It’s been done but using a net instead
Awesome video! Do we have Gary’s view posted somewhere? Would love to see that too!
If you listen to this video of the chase-jumper, you can hear a metallic clanking sound upon impact from the landing, even 1000 feet away. Upon investigation, it only turned out to be Gary's balls.....
Dennis Fetters hahha
So that's what it was
Dennis Fetters You win the comment section.
Yeah you win the comment section; Had to be his balls.
Balls of steel!
Shame he didn't have a camera on him, although I understand how dangerous it could have been to have one on his helmet with the acceleration/deceleration he would have experienced on hitting the boxes.
I'm that 1% of impatient people who sped it up to see the guy fly and land. lol
How can you assume 99% didn't? That's just weird.
BRIELLAGAMER2000 !!!
I did.
By 1% you mean pretty much everybody?
I did the same thing and was disappointed there was no land in just a crash into a bunch of boxes. I would have been even more disappointed had I watched the whole thing.
BRIELLAGAMER2000 !!! I am in the club
I admire his accuracy and bravery. But that was more like crashing into something soft than a "landing".
No, it absolutely WAS a landing. He flared, resulting in most of his momentum being horizontal rather than vertical, at the time of touchdown. That is pretty much the definition of a landing. There's no way he could have survived if he'd just "crashed" into the boxes (i.e. without flaring), as you seem to imply.
this is not landing, and you know that. This is called "Controlled Crash", but still awesome

A forced cardboard box landing
More amazing than insane... well done. Garry, the legend.
Gary.
Hello from Canada Gary! Hope you are well!
That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
The balls of this guy just to think about doing it.
Maybe Icarus should waited until the invention of proper glue.
Amazing technogy at work. Imagine in 10 more years how good thise suits will be?
And how much better boxes will be.
Good to see that someone finally found a use for all those Amazon boxes. :)
BTW: anyone know where this was filmed?
That's more of a " crash landing "
I was expecting to see something more like a smooth runway landing, rather than crashing into a foam pit .
Imagine how awesome it would be if there was such a capability as a wing suit with a built in landing gear .
That’s called a ✈️
The built in landing gear is called a parachute
"Everybody can fly, not everyone can land." Congratulations!!!
everyone can land, not everyone can survive the landing.
I guarantee you everyone that jumps out of a plane with or without a parachute or wing suit hits the ground. Simple logic.
I saw this when you first posted it eleven years ago. I was amazed!
(And you're still NUTZ!!!!) 😄☝ Congrat's again!
Bad ass! That was almost dead center.
I did the similar version to that as a kid… In the living room… Jumping off the coffee table… Onto boxes… Nothing new to see here.
well done but everyone else and I wanted some ONBOARD camera footage!
have you heard of GoPro cameras?
Naser Kazemian dude, he spent all the cash at buy-a-box 😂😂
Funerals in advance are not cheap
More of a crash in some soft stuff,not really a "landing".
I was expecting him to pull a "Super Man" move.
After reading all the commas still pretty impressive
If my memory serves me right, that is how I was conceived.
So your mother is a cardboard box? 🤔
@@psychonaut1829 his dad went into his mother's box (vagina)
No guys. Someone smashing in a cardboard box.
Boy I thought I had a lot of balls! my hats off to that man! I was so proud to watch somebody intentionally do that! like I said, I salute that man! That's a big man right there!!!
And the award for Balls of the century goes toooooo Gary Connery!
yousef badawi n
And the Idiot of the Millennium Award!!
Why is there not one single camera on the ground recording this EVENT !?
Because it's clearly faked. Several of the boxes get torn up before he touches down.
@@verttete3163 clearly you are a troll...clearly. Evidently well fed too!
I was really hoping he had figured out a technique to 'pull up' just above the ground and land in his feet.
It was impressive, but more of a crash landing stunt. I imagine it takes a bit of school to line it up like that, but probably no more difficult than other obstacle avoidance videos.
Fair play...balls of steel.👍
ill take up wing suite flying when you can slow down enough to land on grass...
It's called a parachute
He said wing suite flying not a parachute or other gliding devise.
Eric B
You can do that, just deploy the parachute.....
Yet it’s blokes like Gary who lead the way for us all to be able to eventually get to a grass landing.....
In addition to all the other complexities, his approach to land was a long straight in. With a left-base approach to the runway, one has more latitude. Coming in low, turn toward the runway sooner. Coming in hot and high, veer a bit farther from the landing zone before turning final. A long straight-in approach is the most difficult, especially with no power to control the rate of descent. Good job, Gary!
Give this man a new pair of balls. The pair he has right now are abnormally too large for him to have. put them in a trophy case.
+Rix Dyas But then how would he make children?
They're in those boxes being shipped out now LOL
I'm not saying this video is bs. I'm saying why the fuck didn't he have a cam?
May be too dangerous for the crash? Battery can explode.
Petros Kefallinos Interesting suggestion... I don't agree. GoPros have been subject to intense impact from all sorts of hardcore sports.
Not to mention, we put batteries all over the place. Places much harsher than the conditions that a human body could survive flying into cardboard boxes. Also, places where the 'explosive' failure of a battery would be disastrous.
Chan nel I really just said something that could be possible, i don't base it on anything... i searched on the internet the vertical speed of a wingsuiter is around 50km/h and the forward 170km/h so i am guessing that this video is fake because it would be very hard to damp all this energy, also i believe that they would have made the ''runway'' a little bit wider if there was a life at play there...
Petros Kefallinos Wingsuiters fly meters away under and over objects all the time. The tolerances seem acceptable for someone who knows what they're doing.
As for dampening that much force, weirdly enough, cardboard boxes are often used to dampen extreme impacts like this in film making with stunt doubles and the like, because for some strange reason they're really really reliable at doing it and they're cheap.
Highest recorded stunt-type drop I could find was from Ferdie Fischer, who fell 45 meters into cardboard boxes, which means he'd be traveling at 107km/h on impact. He used far far fewer boxes. Additionally, it appears wingsuiter Gary Connery was taking measures to minimize his speed on impact, which is very much not a thing wingsuiters would do to this extreme, so he'd probably be moving at a significantly slower speed than the average wingsuiter.
This is all crudely applied estimation of course, but the numbers don't seem THAT unreasonable.
Chan nel Hmmmm You have a point....for now, who knows ? I am sure we will find out in the future though if this fall is real or not...
Yeah, no parachute but still landing on something softer than the ground.
I need a Person who Lands like batman :D
You mean 'superhero three point landing'? That would shatter your legs in a nanosecond..doing it from STUNT height without ropes and pulleys to compensate hurts like hell..Because Science has a video on that here on TH-cam.
This is amazing. congratulations to those who dare.
This could revolutionise wingsuiting. Amazing! A jumper leaps with 5,000 flat-packed boxes, assembles them, then does a few hundred assembly flybys to get them stacked before smacking into them, Head first, at about 40 mph. And hope they're not soggy... 😃
I kind of have a feeling he's moving a little bit more up there it at about 95 miles an hour I could be wrong though sir, terminal velocity is about 120 miles an hour, I dumped one of my motorcycles on the freeway doing about 55 or 60 miles an hour, I sure would have rather had them boxes just to decelerate my speed rather than bouncing on the freeway for about 200 ft 250 ft I just off my cuff I would say 95 miles an hour,
@@terrylambert9787 and who am I to nitpick velocity variables with a fellow biker?
Thought he would have had a GoPro on his helmet so we could see his point of view while doing this... Guess that's what I get for thinking... 😕
