Can You Use Umbrellas Instead of a Parachute?

- In this video I test if it is possible to use umbrellas instead of a parachute. I test it by holding onto two large umbrellas as I jump off of different things into a pool. I compare this to when I'm not holding the umbrella and see how much they slowed me down. Then I talk about if umbrellas could be used to replace a parachute during skydiving!

Sound Cool

Max Laval you mean greenhouse academy
I was expecting him to do a skydive with emergency parachute 😁

"Honey, the neighbors kid from college is jumping into the pool with umbrellas again......."
@AmiSunnyFlower 😂
hes trying to fortnite it,it didnt work
LMAO
😭😭
honey get the body bag
So in other words you'd need to weigh 22.9lbs or less for these umbrellas to be safe as a parachute
a 2 year old might be able to use these!
Kewl!
So mary poppins is 22.9 lbs?
@@iiiamisabella4023 If she was using two umbrellas :p
@@ObviouslyASMR what if I use 4 umbrellas
@@bobbymancan3881 assuming it scales linearly, you'd have to weigh about 46lbs for that to work?

i did it 2 times xD
Nice
Why you edited it?
Clever lol
When i was a kid
i used to try that with a plastic bag xD
Bruh I tried a shirt.......... My past self is dumb
lol so did i i used a plastic bag and a umbrealla

One time I went to the park and jumped off a ladder with my kid umbrella because I wanted to see if I could play Fortnite irl
I used a cooking pot lol
The question is, if you had no choice but to jump off a high point, would you prefer to have umbrellas or no umbrellas?
That's a good question.

When I was 8, I tried jumping into a giant pile of sand with a big umbrella from 2nd floor. I took the same precautions with strings to avoid it from being bent. But many of the arms broke and it took me like 5 minutes to climb back from inside of the sand pile.

One time when I was a little kid, I had this umbrella I was carrying in school, and it was really windy so I actually floated for a few seconds and then fell back to the ground, it was really fun.

😳not me💀💀💀
I did it as a 50 lb 8 year old. Jumped off the top of a slide with the umbrella... it slowed me down, but the umbrella inverted and I fell at full speed halfway down. Didn't hurt as much if I tried it without the umbrella lol
Bro u don’t really sound like a 8 year old, I’m 12 and I don’t use that good of punctuation and grammar
Serious Business so you join youtube when you’re 4/5 years old? And you upload video when you’re 6 years old? I think it’s either you’re a genius or you lie about your age

I was jumping from my bed like this when I was about 5. Maybe the umbrellas didn't work, but I had fun for like half am hour which was a long time of rest for my parents lmao

Use to wonder about it since ages, You also could have used weights tied below umbrella and threw it from any tall building to do the calculations, Might have worked better...

That thumbnail freaked out my mom. She said what in the heck is he doin? 😂😂😂😂
“Fairly large umbrellas”
“Literally 30 inch diameter
They are bigger than your average umbrella, technically not wrong
Definitely larger than 30 inches
Looks like about 60 inches actually
They definitely don’t look like 30 inches
I literally thought his gonna do a skydiving while bringing two umbrellas, but if the umbrella thing fail, he’ll just throw those umbrella on the sky and just pull the parachute.
Same 😂😂

It's a great idea as long as you have a parachute for backup

Break a leg

@High Distruction just having a laugh bud. I understand.

Or it's the complete disregard for the scientific method and wrong information.
He is completely ignoring sources of errors, measuring from the wrong points (He should have measured from the highest point the belt reached until it hit the water, then he could calculate the acceleration he was under with and without the umbrellas, thus get an estimate for the force which the umbrellas slowed him down).
One obvious error source he skipped is that he most likely jumped higher without the umbrellas because of how awkward it is to hold them, thus resulting in a higher speed from the points he measured.
Also, drag is not proportional to velocity, it's proportional to velocity squared. This guy has no clue what he is doing and is just trying to get views by "sounding scientific".
When I was little I always admired how princess peach could use her umbrella in order to float... now look at me 😂
You need to put a hole in the top of the umbrella to increase the drag coefficient. Otherwise the air efficiently flows around it. It also might save you from having to add the strings.
I mean, if you're Mary Poppins, it'll probably work
Oh wow, you really are everywhere.

The Action Lab: *Jumps of with two umbrellas*
Mary Poppins: now, try it with one, pathetic.

I just watched this video. You never talked about how large an umbrella would have to be in order to slow you down to a safe speed. So I did some math and calculated that if you had a hexagonal umbrella that was 15ft from side to side, you would have as much surface area that an an expert skydiver could use. I think it could be done!
Parachute unlike umbrella can glide. And right before landing you can use this gliding energy to slow down by flaring. 225 square feet canopy is usually enough for a novice skydiver that weight up to 180-190 pounds. But even if you use the same canopy and weight only around 150, but don't have ability to glide and therefore flare, you most likely gonna break your legs.
He stated 260 sq feet for skydiving towards the end of the video
Leonardo DaVinci designed a parachute that was essentially a giant pyramid covered in linen that was roughly 15ft across. About 10 years ago it was built and tested by a skydiver by suspending it under a hot air balloon and releasing it.
It worked.
DaVinci designed a working parachute _hundreds_ of years before human flight was a reality!
@@realburglazofficial2613, i mean people could still jump off cliffs
@@benharris7358 not with the size of the Da Vinci parachute, that thing was _massive!_

Imagine if umbrellas can make you fall down safely then maybe some people would be jumping off with umbrella in their hand from a plane crash to land safely on the ground.
Still better odds than going down inside a jet

I pondered this in situations of being trapped in a tall burning building, escape via stairs is impossible, and building will either collapse or those trapped will be burned alive. In such cases (including 9/11 and numerous other historic examples) some people jumped rather than go down with the building or be burned alive. If umbrellas like this were available that might make for a survivable (with serious injuries) landing. He said falling with these two umbrellas would give about 30mph impact, I'm guessing that would be survivable.
I like all of your videos bro... Good job👍

Many people wouldn't understand this i think (including me 😂
Looks like a jolly holiday.
I didn’t really think about it before but can we just appreciate how brave the first man to test out a parachute must have been?
From what I recall the first parachutist made it onto the "list of inventors killed by their own invention." I believe jumped off the Eiffel Tower with a first attempt parachute, which didn't work. Others tested parachutes with weights or mannequins before a person used them.

Gr8😂
mary poppins and fortnite did that
My friends dad once jumped off his roof with an umbrella and broke his leg 😂🤣
😂?
What😂😂😂😂
I always wanted to do this
I tried this by jumping off my roof but I did something similar to you and fortify it but I also used a beach umbrella because it was much bigger and it almost worked. I felt the resistance but I also spent like 100 bucks to make the umbrella stronger to feel that resistance so idrk if it was worth it

*You can't fly with the umbrella*
