  1. What a fucking bell end.
  2. I'm actually really surprised that this is the first time anyone has attempted this. Not to discredit the people who built the net but the material and know-how to build a net that would hold a human like this has no doubt been around for almost half a century.
  3. but why
  4. he didn't need a parachute, his balls so big he was gonna use them to take the impact
  5. I'm glad that the net was able to stop his balls from smashing to the ground.
  6. aaaannnnddddd....SPLAT!!!!!
  7. and millions of people would still be alive if they used this in 911
  8. If he passes out midair, he's fucked.
  9. Fake
  10. cool but his suit look like a gun logo
  11. I would shit myself
  12. Imagine the lives that could have been saved if these where in the twin towers. RIP.
  13. Un loco con suerte¡
  14. what is wrong with these people?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. YOU CAN'T OUT--CRAZY A WHITE BOY....
  16. That's a whole lotta nope.
  17. Why is there steam coming outa the shoes
    Why does this guy think he can re spawn
    Why are they wearing helmets...in case they miss the net?
  18. The RT article didn't mention what sort of training they did. Jumps with the parachute opening at very low altitude, to make sure his aim is good?
  19. Imagine if nets like this had been set up beside the Twin Towers after the 9/11 attacks...
  20. Now you just need to go into space with out a suit. Lets see you pull that one off.
