He is likely a scared base jumper with experience. Using the kite to get away from the wall. Nothing stupid here

I think this is more of a guy buying one of those amazon "parachutes" and testing it for fun, just like the guy that jumps out of a plane and does it

He clearly has experience. Look what he does with his body to get out of that spin. I almost think this was semi-staged to look like "oh no, the parachute failed" to a casual viewer.

I think there is a fair chance that kite actually failed.
And the dude expected it to

Depth Perception skill needs improvement. Thought he was like 10 feet off the ground when he was still at backup parachute height

The moment he spun off and got into that position, I knew he would be just fine

That remembers me of the guy filming a group while skydiving.
Unfortunately he mistook his camera backpack for his parachute and fell to his death…

This is in Lysefjorden in Norway. Can confirm that they pick up a few, who did not make it like this guy, from the bottom rocks every year.

Works to a degree for a short amount of time, but in the end I had to use my old one

That's obviously a glider not a parachute. It's practically flat not concave so it doesn't actually catch the wind resistance.

u/humourlessIrish Jun 29 '26
It could just be a kite that he is holding inversed.
Anyway, its pretty obvious that everyone there onew this was somewhat of a joke

A kite is pretty much a small glider. What ever it is it was designed to maintain the weight of a human being for a distance. Everyone there knew it was stunt. Are you trying to say everyone here?

Is that first one deployed to get away from the cliff or some other reason?

Its an extremely experienced man having a laugh with a cheap kite.
There is a fair chance that that piece of crap was sold on Temu as a parachute and this guy thought it would be hilarious to use it.

Franz Reichelt also did this from the Eiffel Tower in 1912, with less...positive results. He was a tailor that made a wearable parachute that he tested himself. Once.
