Skydive without a parachute?!


Skydive without a parachute? Why would you want to do that? That's obviously not a concern for local stunt man Gary Connery who I watched yesterday jump out of a helicopter at 2500ft and skydive without using a parachute. A world first. Instead he flew a wingsuit into a huge pile of cardboard boxes (18000 of them they tell us...).



So yes, he walked away apparently unharmed. But why? Who knows!

Apologies that the video resolution above is so poor that he is only a dot for most of it! A better one is on the Telegraph's website.

The Telegraph's take on it all: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9285794/Gary-Connery-stuntman-in-amazing-2400ft-skydive-without-parachute.html
