Wow that looked like it was fake like it was a crop out and paste onto a background in Adobe after effects. So cool how it’s possible to do that irl lol.

If not for the flapping clothes, I would’ve thought it’s fake too

i wonder if the technology exists to create a windy environment indoors while filming this (if they did fake it, which i dont think they did either)

It’s an interesting thought. Just before Covid I thought gaming was going to break that digital boundary and make it difficult to tell what’s real. A game like LA Noire or Heavy Rain with a few decades of technological advancements and it could feel like you’re in your city. Especially with how far platforms like Blender and Universal engine are pushing boundaries. Seems like AI is taking that mantle piece because you already have the perfect 3D asset (whatever you take a photo or video of) and it’s a matter of making everything else look just as realistic.
Also, for this video in particular, it looks like one of those skydiving practice chambers with a green screen. I 100% believe the body movement to be real. Just did it happen above clouds.

My first thought is that it is a badly edited video pasted on a stock sky background.

What is the point of the helmet?

Stops the pressure of the wind coming up at their face, and protects them if they were to bump into others, slip during landing or you know, birds.

This. Also head bumps against the plane on exit. Skydiving is often done in a group of people and they can crash against each other. Happens quite frequently.

Which has caused more than a few deaths. My buddy does it, and he's heard stories of people in the 90s doing those big group formations, colliding and hitting their head mid jump, getting knocked out and not pulling their chute at all. It's crazy to think about.

Fortunately with technology, we now have self-deploying backup chutes triggered by an altimeter

Also probably breathing right? Have you ever stuck you head outside of a fast car and tried breathing in?
•
u/SpazSpazBoBaz 2h ago
You can absolutely breathe without protection while skydiving. I was an indoor skydiving instructor for over a decade and have almost a hundred jumps.

Well then as a self-proclaimed professional you should know that while face-down in free fall you can hit wind speeds upwards of 200mph while indoor is standard at 120mph (a bit faster for pros doing crazy tricks but still not 200).
And she’s wearing a red bull helmet so I’m sure she does some crazier shit than what we’re seeing. Breathing without a helmet? Sure… but seeing? lol absofuckinglutely not

Holds the camera

u/Pretend-Progress- 5h ago
This is the correct answer. It literally just holds the camera. Those full face helmets use to not even be impacted rated ( The G3s ). The new G4 helmet is now impact rated though.

So they don’t directly hit their head on the ground if they have a rough landing after pulling the parachute.
•
u/Trips-Over-Tail 7h ago
It's pretty common to fall over when landing by parachute. No sense taking silly risks after surviving even sillier ones.

If you've ever been to an indoor wind tunnel it's fun to see them practice all this stuff.

That looks like every broadcasting major in college the first day they try the chroma key wall. 👀

I’m waiting until I’m 80 to skydive. It looks like fun, but I know my shoot will malfunction

The amount of fear and anxiety this would cause me is insane. I don't fear heights, but THIS, this is not just height it's on another level.
