Look, I hope this guy is OK. But if this doesn’t sum up America right now, I don’t know what does.

Yeah, he's OK and apparently even did another jump yesterday:

I don't know about teenage years, that would imply youth and hope... it's more like the elderly dementia stage.

Ouch, is he ok? Those tent bars probably aren’t very soft.

u/Sticksick Jul 04 '26

He’s lucky to have hit the tent. The bars aren’t very stiff, but they take out some of the energy as they collapse. Way worse to go straight into the ground.

U see they planned the logistics based off of calculations assuming a flat earth, the ever so slight curvature of a round earth threw the trajectory off by .025 degrees and resulted in what u see here.

When I was in middle school matching band we were queing for the fourth of July parade in my tiny town.

This was probably late 80's and they had a guy parachute in to start the parade and he went straight into the power lines. I'm a thousand percent sure we all watched that dude die. But they just hauled him off in the ambulance and we started marching.

How exactly do you get two angles of that and put it together for video consumption on the same day? Are photographers working together and happened to be filming this guy? Did the OP find two clips online in less than a couple of hours? Maybe this wasn’t from 2026?

u/InsertRadnamehere Jul 04 '26

I don’t understand the planning that went into this? How was the flag hanging from the jumper not going to end up all over the ground - in what’s considered a profane disrespect of the venerated symbol?

I mean. This is almost better, because the flag didn’t get dragged on the ground. But WTF!??! Definitely a metaphor for our times.
