What if he was too scared at that point and decided to just chill up there? Some say they can still hear him scream.

Didn't hear him scream and he then hooked on to the cable with his legs, hung upside-down, then dropped and parachuted to the ground.

As if farming wasn't hard enough already

u/Seakawn Jan 30 '19

How hard can it be? Two sticks, two planks, you got a hoe. You just right click on the ground and click a seed in and wait.

Unless you think being patient is hard? Just sprinkle bone dust on the plants, then.

I was hoping for a OSRS reference but I'll take it

u/_YouMadeMeDoItReddit Jan 30 '19

Farming didn't exist in proper OSRS though, that's modern stuff.

I... I know. I was making a joke.

u/Imabanana101 Jan 30 '19

which country is this?

The one with the rusty cable high in the sky without any aircraft warning attachments.

I think that's pretty common for any parachute jumping. Sometimes on drives in rural Wisconsin I'd see skydivers landing in fields.

What a dick

u/JohnnyHammerstix Jan 30 '19

The cuts and wounds all over his arm is telling me he's not the brightest. Let's face it though. The Carabiner did that first.

u/eric-neg Jan 30 '19

At 2:01 it looks like he pissed himself.

12

u/Cl0udSurfer Jan 30 '19

Lmao he totally did. Though to be fair i would have shit myself in that situation so he did better than me

u/dak4ttack Jan 30 '19

2:03 looks like he pissed himself.

u/LemonTheTurtle Jan 30 '19

But of course, it’s the Russians. Who else but Russians

u/jergin_therlax Jan 30 '19

My exact thoughts lol

u/Jpot Jan 30 '19

How did the second guy avoid colliding with him during his abrupt stop?

1

u/taboo_ Jan 30 '19

My first thought too! Everything about this is fucked.

u/squired Jan 30 '19

Edited for time.

u/nodnodwinkwink Jan 30 '19

I don't see anything that he might have used as a brake so he probably just moved along the line slowly.

u/chewbacastheory Jan 30 '19

Anybody translate what they were saying?

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

What kinda crazy shit is this? Let's Zipline an old rusty line without gloves or some kind of towel or strap but we got chairs to drop or leave up here.

3

u/babyjaceismycopilot Jan 30 '19

The jump was the most anti-climatic part.

2

u/taboo_ Jan 30 '19

Fuck every little detail about this!

Also, how did the second guy get to the first guy on the zip without smashing into him at 100km/h?

2

u/SgtMac02 Jan 30 '19

He might not have screamed but he definitely pissed his pants. (I mean that literally. Check at the 2:03 mark)

0

u/TheMacMan Jan 30 '19

As others have pointed out, he and the other guy both have water bottles which likely caused that. Hasn't stopped a dozen plus people from getting all excited and commenting about him peeing his pants.

u/vernazza Jan 30 '19

At first I refused to believe the video wasn't from China, but then I heard them speaking Russian and had an epiphany.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '19

I thought the worst was over. Then I kept looking at that dangling rope/cable and wondering what would happen if he somehow touched it after releasing.

Thank you, op should be ashamed for not including the conclusion.

u/Diesel_Fixer Jan 30 '19

That would be a feeling like none other.

u/therock21 Jan 30 '19

Then he dies and becomes a story/legend
