To see the end of the patient?

My sympathy to the condo guards/rescue service workers who had to scrape yet another British doorknob Social Media Influencer off the pavement at no extra charge - I highly doubt this kind of "brave adventure seekers" have a line in their will to direct some part of their YouTube earnings to the people who clean their mess.

Funny. 555 Only a Brit. Parachuting kills. 🤷🏼‍♂️

???... Only a Brit...  'Only an idiot' would make such a comment...   and you laugh at someone dying..

 

... you've highlighted not only your bigotry but a vapid personality to boot.

Had a friend videoing it. Look everyone,  see what I can do. Famous last words of many. R.I.P

attempted to base jump from the 29th floor of a condominium in Pattaya but his parachute failed to deploy.

Could have been avoided if the camera man was paying attention. 

 

Looks like the deployment chute caught behind harness.

My first three jumps for qualification with a National Guard Airborne company were from 1500 feet.   Jump qualified jumpers went out at 1200 feet.

Congratulations. Still, that's a long way from 300 feet.

Yes and seeing some videos of BASE jumpers, I am very happy about that!
