Technically, everyone can land without a parachute. Once.
Ha how true
nice..hihi
LOL
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!
Twice.
Usually the body bounces a fair bit.
That's amazing. Just when he needed a long pile of boxes to break his fall, there they were!!
Thank you ACME™!
Double the depth and no equipment required at all I imagine.
CHEATING BASTERS
And they were all empty too!
Good thing they weren't filled with tent stakes or lawn darts or bowling balls.
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".
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.
..or one worn by the skydiver himself.
It's a shame that folks don't look for what they want to see before jumping to conclusions: ruclips.net/video/u5_ITt2LM0A/видео.html
I know huh?
Now if he was to do a touch and go-around I'd be even more impressed.
lol
Good one
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.
For something this significant (never been done before, etc.) why weren't there more cameras capturing it?
I’ve seen a video of this stunt taken from the ground.
ruclips.net/video/dRB-woVjlFY/видео.html
@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.
Lots of cameras on the ground. Waiting for the TV special.
My thought exactly.
Couldnt afford a gopro after all the funding was spent on cardboard boxes.
33argento yeah, what a fuckin idiot.
Where does he call him names?
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.
Looks to me like he walked away from it.
Wasn't talking about him in particular, just the whole scene in general about this ''sport''.
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.
I would blame myself if I hear about an opportunity like this and I let it waste, please I am interested how can I do business with him.
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?
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! ✌
Most underrated comment ever
Change scary to epic at the end rhymes better
Yeah, good up until the Gary/Scarry rhyme.
Planning his innovative landing required thinking inside of the box!
ba-da-tss 🥁
SIMKINETICS 🙄👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He would have saved a lot more money if he had just jumped out wearing a box.
Benjamin Allan-Clark Great comment
haha one box won't be enough. He need to wear his boxes!
Very funny!
😂😂😂
and a box to be buried in.💀👍🐇💀👏
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.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What if he jumped out with the boxes?
I thought that was an OHNO.
I figured it was a HFS flight - holy f'ng sh#t
@@bob5951 OHNO = HFS, same thing.
Dude, that is next level. Cardboard boxes, that must have hurt when you plowed into them. Crazy respect, glad you made it.
I was kinda expecting him to pull up, lose his forward speed, and land feet first. Guess there is not that kind of fine control with wing suits.
....and not a red bull in sight!
So conspicuous by their Absence..
Thats the best part lol
I was thinking that too!
No shit
They're too busy trying to sue UK drinks manufacturers.
If he was married to my ex he would have used concrete boxes
...PRICELESS!!!
😂😂
Ok boomer
She truly loves him, that's why she married you.
@@masonholitza7489
I was hoping for additional footage from a ground view.
The one time you don’t want to think outside the box! Quite incredible skills.
Boooo
It’s definitely not the worlds first landing without a wingsuit. Plenty of others have slammed into the ground
Hahahahahaha
You are correct, a guy by the name of Tom Boyd was doing this back in the 50s. I’ve seen his suit and helmet, he’s in the Smithsonian.
I married his daughter.
Well said 😂😂😂
Some have actually lived.
How high did they bounce?
As a former skydiver I can say this guy definitely factored in the weight of his ENORMOUS brass balls when calculating the LZ!!
I know! I can hardly believe someone did that.
He DID look a lil tail heavy,right?
It's been done by a skydiver before, he jumped out a lot higher with no parachute and landed on boxes!
@@bluenose7984 post a link
@@genehunsinger3981 Just looked it up, he jumped into a huge net not boxes! ruclips.net/video/aPC_h9Vmlxw/видео.html
I was amazed at how fast he descended…not like a slower parachute.
That's cheating. He needs to land on his feet. Then I'm IMPRESSED
No body on the ground with a camera? WTH
I can't believe I'm the first person replying to your post in a week. I was thinking that WHILE I was watching this.The cameraman who was chasing him was probably like "Oh shit I forgot to call Fred and Harry to have them film from the ground!!"
Follow Humansarefokingcrazy on Instagram for the landing view of the same clip
Steve Sanford - There are at least a couple of videos of this shot from the ground.
Here’s one.
ruclips.net/video/dRB-woVjlFY/видео.html
@@RoadRunnerLaser Thankyou, this was good to see. But the point still stands as this video was just some random jackball with a cell phone. Where are the pro level videos of this pretty significant event....?
now there's a runway you do NOT want to overshoot
Kelly Larsen I
The moment he stepped off the chopper he was on final approach.
He was right on the money. Considering his stopping distance he hit it in the perfect safety margin. That shows fantastic control.
No go arounds
@@scottjustscott3730 I felt this an incredibly risky exercise. One freak gust of wind at 500ft and he has no time to correct. Yes. He made it this time but I would say the law of averages would be against you on this...
That is wild, great job man. To have complete faith in your abilities thats the true definition of mastery. Thats the best thing I've seen for a long time. Gary ballz to the wall Connery!
I saw this when you first posted it eleven years ago. I was amazed!
(And you're still NUTZ!!!!) 😄☝ Congrat's again!
How many people thought he’d land on his feet
I have always wondered if one could flair upright and do a foot landing
@@mainewoods1862 Probably not possible.. too high AOA for a webbed suit IMO. I think you would just spin out of control the moment you tried to do that.
@@paulhope3401 We are all going to take your word for that. You sound pretty sure. I don't wanna find out at mach .5
@@napadave58 Haha.. me neither. 😀
@@mainewoods1862 nope speeds are too high.
CORRECTION; "First Wingsuit belly flop" 😂
Accept Jesus, and turn from sin, before it's too late.
I was surprised at how short his actual stop was. Incredible.
He used his gigantic balls as airbags 😮
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
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.
Probably the culmination of a few hundred trials of some type! Hats off to him though.
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.
@@renegade5130 please share a video proving your calculations.. 😎
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.
Crazy man crashes into cardboard box at 100mph.
LMAO this is Breaking News
@@Brian_Williams5298 Breaking news or Cardboard breaking news? 😂😂
If he missed it would be ground breaking😀
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!
After seeing this, Mr Parachute invented the popular device that still bears his name.
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!
*Oh shit, I forgot my GoPro*
Oh GoPro, I forgot my shit
A Phenomenal Jumping And Landing Video All The Best To Everyone In The Team.
Can you actually land on the ground with just a wing suit ?
“And for my next stunt the boxes will be on fire”
That would be cool!
But not for him.
I was hoping he'd land like a bird and change *everything*
Courseality ACIM yeah, I thought he'd have a mini chute to flare enough to land on his feet.
Next stop laying an egg
lompsonthompson crashing is just landing with style.
fuckin brilliant !!! YOU PROPER CAUGHT ME OFF GAURD !!! funny fuuny stuff
Should ask those defused daredevil teenagers to show us how its done
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!!!
This is why we invented parachutes!
Awesome jump you mad bastard!👍
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
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....
Awesome video! Do we have Gary’s view posted somewhere? Would love to see that too!
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
To the haters, this guy wasn't thinking about RUclips or Facebook. He didn't do this to save the world. He is just somebody who has the balls to do what he wants to do at the risk of own his life.
People are jealous
according to wikipedia : In July 2022, Connery was found guilty of causing grievous bodily harm to his then girlfriend Tanya Brass.[25] He had pushed her down the stairs in their home in Satwell, Oxfordshire
I'd rather see a video of them setting up the boxes
LMAO!
Just over fifty years ago Vesna Vulović fell out of the sky from 30,000 feet - and lived. Vulović was a flight attendant on JAT Yugoslav Airlines Flight 367 on January 26, 1972
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?
The skill level is jaw dropping. Depth perception, when to ditch altitude, but not enough crash short.
Guy jumping without parachute and without wing suit into catch net more impressive
Brilliant!
Should have had far more media coverage!
Well done sir!
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.
That's a LOT of boxes! The "GO GARY" with the arrow made me laugh.
"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
"Hey Carl, did you remember to take all the jars of jam out of the boxes? Carl? Why is Carl running away?"
Didn't anybody capture this most amazing feat from the ground? How did I just find this today?
Due to the fact that this was released 9 years ago, I’m going to not bug out at the fact that the first person view footage and groundcrew camera footage was not edited into this video. Like I’m seriously peeved and VERY disappointed. But like. Yeah. Acceptable. If this was modern day, not at all acceptable. thanks for the upload.
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.
He had a parachute...so it's not that exciting. He lined himself up and probably had til the last few seconds to pull the parachute. This is not a landing, the title is very misleading.
He had the choice to pull kind of low as the other guy did so, but it's still bad ass. One wrong move and that could be all she wrote.
@@albertcampos959 dude, it's still bad ass. Don't be that dude. He could've pulled low in guessing as the other guy did so, but it's still fuckin cool. I'll bet at that speed the boxes didn't feel too good but he almost overshot the landing and he would've been too low to pull. Even if he didn't die from it he'd be fucked up. Always gotta be that dude that says it isn't impressive but I'm certain you wouldn't try it.
@@erictalkington5674
It's ballsy, but that's not what I'm saying. I said: NOT a landing.
@@albertcampos959 How do you define a landing that this does not qualify as a landing?
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
Alex Smith no cause you can see him actually deploy his chute a 2:17
Yup don't be talking about small chute glide ratio.
That was definitely one of the mothers of lowpulls.
I hit rewind on that a few times... I couldnt believe it
Yea that was a VERY low opening! Wouldn't surprise me if that guy has a special forces background.
What was the horizontal speed at the point where he meets the cardboard?
I have come to an injury free halt from 100 kmh on pavement (several times) Others have done the same from much higher speeds.
It's not so mush the lack of a parachute but rather the sudden stop that gets ya every time...
Fantastic confidence in his ability to land at just the right spot!
With enough cardboard boxes, you wouldn't need a damn wing suit...
I double dare you..
on the other side of the boxes... "NO Gary! --->"
There were a couple of instances in ww2 where crew survived without a chute. One crashed through trees in Norway with no injuries, Zee Germans thought he was a spy as they found no chute or plane. I believe an air hostess fell from a hijacked jet into snow and also survived relatively unhurt !
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,
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!
About time someone did it
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
Amazing ! So many factors to consider, and talk about timing ! Very cool indeed 👍👍
Impressive but the dude who jumped out of the plane with no chute and no suit and landed in the net on purpose was even more impressive.
And to think I could enjoy it from the comfort of my couch…. In hindsight I should have prepared a steak and a beer while watching…
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
Absolutely epic!! Well done again Gary
Stuntman of the Year Award
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.
in short NO. too much wing loading to create enough lift to climb.
@@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).
I had the same idea, an upward flare like a "lob" reducing forward speed and converting it into height. reducing the chance of missing the LZ
probably have to have some quick feet lol
you're trying to accomplish STOL techniques with something shaped more like an X-15 and definitely NOT like a kitfox.
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
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.
Oh thank fucking god ur here to tell us all about it. Douche
Yes, I'm sure everyone watching this thinks it's a piece of cake.
@@TheJoshMaggot omg, thank you!
Speak for yourself peter peter spunk eater.
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 RUclips 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.
Wow, you have to be one of the most ballsiest people on the planet!... Love you ❤️
So where is the video that had to of been taken from more or a ground view?
More amazing than insane... well done. Garry, the legend.
Gary.
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.
Son! That was outstanding!!!
Props to the camera man for filming right to the end and then pulling his chute at the last minute
He could have been the second.
"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 always wonder if its possible to go down and gain speed and then use the speed to go up by steering using the wingsuit and go up until it stops. And repeat it multiple times until u can land on 2 foot on the ground.
His mother put up her best STRAW MAN argument but she couldn't convince him.
I was expecting him to pull a "Super Man" move.
absolutely amazing, it takes a lot of guts to land on some cardboard boxes wearing a wingsuit from thousands of feet up and live to talk about it. good job Superman!!!
And the award for Balls of the century goes toooooo Gary Connery!
yousef badawi n
Balls instead of brains... balls are smaller than the brain so that rattling noise when he moves must get annoying
..
And the Idiot of the Millennium Award!!
Thank the lord someone had dumped all those boxes there. How very fortunate. And to think fly tippers are given a bad name? On this occasion they saved this man's life.
i love the font at the beginning ! It make it look like a elementary school project !
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............
this is not landing, and you know that. This is called "Controlled Crash", but still awesome
dercncplaner also known as ‘Controlled Flight into Terrain’, or CFT
@@christopherwalsh1420 or like that
@@christopherwalsh1420 So true.
“Falling with style”
A forced cardboard box landing
liked the way boxes already behind him crunched up after he flew past them
Legend has it they are still looking for gary in the boxes
After reading all the commas still pretty impressive
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...
He was wearing a parachute, he just did not use it. One can't say that he jumped without a parachute because he was wearing a parachute but as you correctly stated, he jumped without using a parachute.
Every time I see a wing suit I hear Tom hanks yelling "that's just falling with style".
