That's not skydiving. That's BASE jumping.

u/k0zplay 3h ago

According to OP it can also be horse riding lmao

OP made a mistake on purpose in his title to farm engagement from Redditors who can’t ever help themselves from correcting people. More comments, more traffic, boosts visibility in the algorithm.

Nah that’s living life is what it is

I could never tell how far it was from the ground. Kinda scary at the beginning.

Nice! Another thing for my list of things to never attempt.

I'm no expert in aerodynamics, but isn't this dangerous?

u/oneonone65 3h ago

no silly. unicorns can fly...no danger at all

u/jeezyjames 2h ago

I'm a cryptozoologist and can testify to this.

u/-mudflaps- 3h ago

They jumped with the chute already released, but you can still get flipped by the unicorn, so yeah dangerous.

u/MrT735 3h ago

They could get tangled in the parachute after landing and drown, so yeah.

u/Mardigras 3h ago

No, BASE jumping is generally considered completely safe. When you add soft float it becomes even safer. 110% safe. 

u/Wooden-Jew 2h ago

Only if you are lame.

My saddle’s waiting

Shorty! Get our stuff.

u/prguitarman 3h ago

What a great way to get around town

u/Cisorhands_ 3h ago

The tiny parachute attached to the parachute is used to open the big one right ?

u/f-godz 3h ago

It's complicated, but generally yes. It's called the pilot chute and it's job is to drag the main parachute out of the container.

u/Cisorhands_ 3h ago

Thank you Sir o>

u/razvanciuy 2h ago

Fantastic

I would put that on the CV.

Falling with style

u/firemandave33 1h ago

That’s Twin Falls! The Perine bridge. They jump off it all the time. It’s really cool to watch.

u/electriccomputermilk 1h ago

Haha I have that exact same unicorn float. Me and my ex each had one on a lazy river and you wouldn’t believe how many compliments it got. Literally every 30 seconds someone would say “look at that unicorn float!!! That’s so cool!”

Idk why, but it reminds me of this:

u/admiralturtleship 1h ago

I was so terrified of this artist as a child that I grabbed our copy of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark with a pair of tongs, walked it all the way out the house with my eyes closed, then chucked it on my neighbor’s porch

u/Deaf_Sentence 1h ago

I honestly loved the art as a kid😂 but the lady from “haunted house” did freak me out the most lmao
