For me, a daredevil stunt is trying to cross a boulevard by foot when all these cars just want to run me over ! You have to walk fast, because the pedestrian light starts to blink red when i just pass halfway...
blurred out images of people who died gruesomely, some people have the ability for more empathy and imagining this stuff with the pieces of the puzzle right there can be distressing
Agreed! This is why some cities or states have enacted laws that if you have to be rescued after bridge jumping or rock climbing in illegal areas, you will be charged for the costs of your rescue.
So y'all believe this? I remember my big brother spinning me around to the point that I got sick and threw up. Even at carnivals, if you go a few minutes on a ride that spins, some people are too sick to enjoy the rest of the day. This man supposed to have jumped from the edge of space, probably spinning faster than a motor operated fan blade. Y'all really think he could've survived that, you're crazy.
Jonathon’s car stunt was just ignorant. If he was only practicing for the actual event, there was no reason to arm the cars with explosives and have them released at 30 seconds. If you’re practicing, then you know there’s a chance you don’t have it right yet. You don’t need the danger aspect to be real. How stupid.
If you have that much problem with them using medical equipment and people who are there to help such incidents, then become a medical professional to help the problem of less doctors then smh
3rd one is really bizarre. Watching him not having the core strength to reach the cable with his feet is buffling. Why atempt these stunts if you are so physically weak ? Reaching for the cable would have saved him. Reminds me of the case of that kid doing pull ups in the edge of a skyscraper , only problem he was weak as fuck and couldnt do even 5 pull ups and failed to climb back... The only one that i felt bad was about Pavel. As a parkour athlete myself jumping from roofs is familiar but a backflip on the edge.....another level...All the preperations in the world cant prepare you for that. 16 stories no matter the ground training you have done locks your body. You may believe you can do it but your body has a thought of its own , tries to protect its self.. fear along with winds on that height is something you must not challenge..Even for Pavel.
Idk if this is obvious to everyone else but it wasn’t until I was an adult for a while that I realized the Human Cannonball is a facade; it’s not ejecting someone via explosive pressure in the barrel, it’s just a phony visual “explosion” and the person is propelled via a giant spring or similar soft launch mechanism.
Unfortunately I think most people realise this around the same point in life that they figure out TV style wrestling is scripted and fake. That would of been about 10yrs old for me.
As a paraplegic for the last 26 of my 51 years from a diving accident, I cant imagine anyone doing anything now that could possibly cost you your ability to walk...or more. Normal life itself is full of enough danger without making your own. I know we cant go through life scared of everything but just slow down ask yourself if its worth it to you and just as important, to your family before taking a chance. I'd give just about anything for the ability to walk again.
You can push your body to do incredible things BUT the difference between life and death is safety planning and careful evaluation of the risks. Those things were missing in these cases. In the case of Todd the wing walker, the lack of some kind of safety line with a release mechanism could have prevented it.
Probably the guy with the swinging cars. You would think they'd drop him if the cars got to a certain point without him escaping. Looks like maybe they tried but dropped him too late.
I think they make arrangement for things to go wrog, sometimes they need things to go rong ir else all biys would wanna do this for a living...we live in a world where fear sells the most
I wonder who pulled the trigger for him to move upward. Was it actually him? Was it someone else watching on the team? To me it seems like his cable failed and snapped, but if someone was in charge of disabling the cable and did so in panic, I cant image that guilt. Still like 90% sure it snapped.
Suspended by your hair, high above the abyss and the feeling of losing control must be terrible. Seconds of struggle turn into hours until you lose consciousness. It is one of the most tragic stunts.😢
Thanks for not blocking out stuff on these videos Sir as a lot of people do which is frustrating, you did good on it👍... Obviously I enjoyed it I couldn't seem to shut up😂
Yup. Daredevils are compelled to constantly increase the danger and risk, pushing the envelope until things don’t go exactly right. Always chasing the adrenalin rush.
The Minnesota State Fair has long exhibited the harness and frame which a female wingwalker used when she and her pilot died in a tragic crash many decades ago. (1951?) It’s difficult to comprehend any desire to perform , frankly, ANY of the stunts featured in this episode… The Fair also exhibits the slippers of a tight wire artist who successfully performed long ago; and the suits and photos of “human cannonball” performers, members of a family.
Gravity obviously has way less of an effect up there c,mom man give your head a shake🤦♂️ theres still a little bit but its the same as the plane the take up in the atmosphere, you dont feel gravity but its still there
@@dylangriffin5778 NSS I was making fun of what was said in the video. As for gravity, in space gravity is strong enough to hold the ISS, traveling at 17,500 MPH in orbit
@@dylangriffin5778 well since you don't understand physics, unless the ISS speeds up, it will fall to earth. In the same way, that as you go up your weight will get lighter
@richlaue you literally just said what I said in reverse.. thanks for saying nothing👍🏿 I literally said the higher you are the less you feel gravity😂🤦♂️
"It's like flying. Except at uncontrollable speed." Straight down, which I guess is "like" flying! Always thought that was a great option for returning from the ISS (NASA not returning calls). But dang, I'd try that kind of jump AND riding a biplane on a wing frame (forget moving tho). However, just seeing these heights on a video (like that guy falling off roof) makes the nerves tingle and other things pucker up. My cardiac system would likely explode.
Felix Baumgartner's record was broken by more than 2 km, 2 years later, but without all the publicity the Red Bull funded Felix B show had. So Alan Eustace's jump from 41,4km is relatively unknown but still an amazing record, very hard to beat !
This is good sir you explain well and you don't get funky music drowning you giving us a headache good stories explain so much detail that I didn't hear before thank you

' Something went terribly wrong' , how surprising! What is it that drives those willing to risk their lives for the thrill of climbing Everest, or in these cases perform acts of dare -devil? At some point ego must take over, the roar of the crowds, the acclaim. In one way it's a shame they hadn't done something more down to earth ( pun intended) to leave their mark on humanity, charity work for example. Yet their willingness to push the boundaries and put their lives on the line transfixes us sensible mortals. I can't believe how stupid they are, yet I admire their passion for ' living life to the full'.
In my youth I would have jumped at the chance of climbing Everest. In days when I seemed to have more vitality, a fully loaded battery (battery life) and no fear or respect for seriously iccy cold freezing tempretures. But now I am closer to seventy than sixty and living has shown me why I needed to know how savage the cold, wind and blizzards can be. Some 20 years ago I tried snow holeing at altitude in The Alps the night. Was I glad when that night was over. I suppose things started at school aged eleven to twelve when I was taught adventure trainning. The trainning bit didn't really exist as we would be sent out in to the forests or hills with a backpack, compass and map. All great times and considered at the time to be great fun. The challenges of the bigger boys who got to go futher afeild for say the whole week was always a lure. They ran across a high building beam and I was wanting to also. Going yachtng and I wished I had gone. Then during the years near my middle teens I read the book 'Everest'(Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained') by Sir Edmond Hillery. A man of a former era when such asents were the adventures of heros. You had the whole Nation supposedly behind you and his book certainly capured a spirit that enthralled me. 'The Higher the Mountain The Better' was not my motto but that was how it seemed. I was up and down mountains for years on and off skis. There came a time when I chased the dream of joining our National Ski team. That was when I learnt about age and being too old. Age changes the perspectives. Gone are the days when fearlessness meant you .....................meant you were not really like a rubber bouncy ball but you were not afraid heights. After all, snow is soft or soft under a thin Ice crust. So it's not like falling on concreat. Anyway. Back in the sixties I think our whole school was being trained for adventure. So I supposed that is how it comes about that some got that way. It is because some one puts the spirit (encoragement) in to the child at an early age. The teachurs could have been equally negative and a person could turn out to be afraid of playing Rugby or even football.
He was never a Stunt Performer as in Film Stuntmen. This guy was just a thrill seeker , There's no shortage of idiots out there to fill the void I'm sure
I think dying from a heart attack from panic, hanging from your hair; knowing your situation, just waiting for your slow death, his body giving out of strength… the worst, slowest suffering. Panic killed him.
Well, about the last episode, the voice says "the incident could have been avoided by the use of a safety harness" ... How could you even try this stunt with a harness?
AGT ,shame on them, what people will do for fame & glory & money 💰, to have so much talent, just to have no common sense! I did my fair share of stunt’s & tricks & daredevil…when I was young & dumb but some of my life’s close calls , were just by chance, God’s Angels have worked overtime saving me. Light’s & Bell’s sound out “hey maybe this isn’t such a great idea/ I should change something in my life, there’s things worse than death, it’s surviving & being paralyzed
The second story - Jonathan - pure stupidity. A restraining shirt can be tighten beyond one ability to free himself. so this is a stupid trick - to be restrained and all the stuff added.
I've never been interested in stunts aircraft stunts any kind of stunts I don't get pleasure out of watching something so dangerous knowing they can easily die THAT IS SO NOT ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME 🤦🏻♀️💔‼️
I just laugh at willfully stupid and careless people who die or become seriously maimed. They push risks to the limits for fame, money, self admiration, etc They have no GENUINE concern for their family and friends who will either suffer from their death or have to then take care of them being disabled. Imagine the time, work, effort, money, and other resources now having to be put into these people that had a death wish
People shouldn't egde the stunt people on... They wouldn't do it if they had nobody there to show off for... Seriously if everybody rejected the stunt pilots included this wouldn't have happened...But humans want to be entertained so much so they don't care about other lives until it's too late ‼️
I disagree. I think it’s just part of the human condition to do crazy stuff. If it wasn’t, we never would be where we are today without people taking risks and venturing into the unknown. Some people just need to live on the edge to feel alive and that’s ok.. as long as no innocents are taken out with them when stuff gets dire.
@@whitneyanders5945 Unless these high risk attn seekers would do it if they were the last people on the planet, they're doing it for all the wrong reasons. Just get it out of your system before you bring children into the world or don't have children, otherwise the only consolation they have when their parent dies is seeing it played out on a YT video "PEOPLE WHO DIED DOING STUPID STUFF THAT WANTED TO KILL THEM!"
@@whitneyanders5945 Well, get it out of your system before you bring children into the world or don't have children, albeit I did see a father of seven who thought it'd be cool if his buddy filmed him taking a celebratory jump from from the rock ledge above and lost his footing upon landing and stumbled right off the cliff and fell 170 ft to his death. His friend didn't capture his fall from the angle he stood but it didn't take away from the absolute horror he did capture on his phone and all you could hear is him yelling NO NO NO NO...
Red bull jump - the camera from inside the capsule before he jumps shows us a flat earth , but all of a sudden just before he jumps , we see a perfectly round earth ( what's that all about ?? )
While these are all wild, it's number 3 for me....Which of these would You ever actually consider trying?

Light’s & Bell’s sound out “hey maybe this isn’t such a great idea/ I should change something in my life, there’s things worse than death, it’s surviving & being paralyzed
8:35 So, if there's no video why TF am I watching this?
I want to add 1 more thing: I would only risk my life if it were to save someone’s life.
Next up ! Atmospheric re-entry without a rocket 😁
I see curvature ! Don't tell the Flatards !
Didn't flat earth theory start with that one dude trolling NASA to get free flight into space.
Alan Wake narrator? Lol
I would've died in mid air from a heart attack!😳
Note to self: if I ever want to be a “daredevil/stuntman” I CAN NOT be my own “safety guy” as well
I keep hearing that jingle 'dumb ways to die' playing throughout the video.
That would have been scary falling from space. Imagine if gravity didn't bring him in and he got caught in orbit
But great video, happy to see videos not AI generated (its a great source/help) but its great to see real "handmade" video ✌️
Thanks! I’m glad you liked the handmade touch!
Same. I subscribed.
Everybody likes Retro videos.
The second story - Jonathan - pure stupidity. A restraining shirt can be tighten beyond one ability to free himself. so this is a stupid trick - to be restrained and all the stuff added.
Amazing to me the lack of preperation that went into some of these stunts.
Inspiring words "Sometimes you have to go after. They have to understand how small your..."
Trust me, the world did not exhale when felix landed. 99% of the worlds population did and does not give a damn.. Dramaqueen
Idk about that last one ... Thorough investigation needed ... 😮
EXTREME EDGE SALUTE LMCPGMARLEY TAPPING IN
6:07 wow that was amazing! I was holding my breath the entire time
Same! I was like "no way this ends well!" I'm glad I was wrong!
What was that?
I've never been interested in stunts aircraft stunts any kind of stunts I don't get pleasure out of watching something so dangerous knowing they can easily die THAT IS SO NOT ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME 🤦🏻♀️💔‼️
Wow!
13:22 its India, what do you expect.
"He promised it would be his last stunt"
He didn't lie😒
Faster than the speed of SOUND?! Wow...that's approx *761mph.*
First jump was fake it was debunked
How do you know? You were there at the time?
I just laugh at willfully stupid and careless people who die or become seriously maimed. They push risks to the limits for fame, money, self admiration, etc They have no GENUINE concern for their family and friends who will either suffer from their death or have to then take care of them being disabled. Imagine the time, work, effort, money, and other resources now having to be put into these people that had a death wish
The guy on the zip line was correct in his promise to his wife…. It was his last stunt!!!!
Who writes these scripts? "From bad to work..." is just one of the major illiteracies...
Seriously, are you writing play by play or a poem? It’s so much talking that we don’t need.
He loves the sound of his own voice
I now need to do a thorough lifestyle investigation before I lend anyone some cash
Dude is wearing a helmet and spacesuit. Don't think there'd be much wind penetrating that if he wanted to live.
Over narrated. No need for every detail. Should’ve been a much shorter video.
True that
R.I.P🕊️ to the people that died
"I wish everyone could see what I see."
Yeah, we can. And by the way, thanks.
No one made a mistake. Until all of them did.
People shouldn't egde the stunt people on... They wouldn't do it if they had nobody there to show off for... Seriously if everybody rejected the stunt pilots included this wouldn't have happened...But humans want to be entertained so much so they don't care about other lives until it's too late ‼️
I disagree. I think it’s just part of the human condition to do crazy stuff. If it wasn’t, we never would be where we are today without people taking risks and venturing into the unknown. Some people just need to live on the edge to feel alive and that’s ok.. as long as no innocents are taken out with them when stuff gets dire.
@@whitneyanders5945 Unless these high risk attn seekers would do it if they were the last people on the planet, they're doing it for all the wrong reasons. Just get it out of your system before you bring children into the world or don't have children, otherwise the only consolation they have when their parent dies is seeing it played out on a YT video "PEOPLE WHO DIED DOING STUPID STUFF THAT WANTED TO KILL THEM!"
@@whitneyanders5945 Well, get it out of your system before you bring children into the world or don't have children, albeit I did see a father of seven who thought it'd be cool if his buddy filmed him taking a celebratory jump from from the rock ledge above and lost his footing upon landing and stumbled right off the cliff and fell 170 ft to his death.
His friend didn't capture his fall from the angle he stood but it didn't take away from the absolute horror he did capture on his phone and all you could hear is him yelling NO NO NO NO...
The police investigated! Bwahahahahaha that's a joke in its self
The birds and seagulls lookn at the guy flying from space 🤔
Respect to Felix Bumgartner 💪
There is no limit to stupidity !!!
The intro is all wrong cause we all know THE EARTH IS FLAT!!!😂
Taking a deep breath lol he had oxygen lol
They dead doing what made their lives real and alive R.I.P.
The fish eye lens never stay behind
Red bull jump - the camera from inside the capsule before he jumps shows us a flat earth , but all of a sudden just before he jumps , we see a perfectly round earth ( what's that all about ?? )
