Yes but the feeling you get before you hit the ground knowing it's all over must be excruciating.

dying in general must suck... any way you go.

Unless you die because you had too much sex... and the chicas you were having sex with drained not only the semen, but your soul through your penis.

Too fast to really let it soak in.

Yeah, cause I bet he could hear them while falling at 200km/h couple hundred yards away and shitting his pants

I guess. On a happier note, I really want to go skydiving. Maybe sometime in the spring.

Wish they had a video of the dude that landed in a sand dune and survived without anything broken. Now THAT would've been epic!

I think I've seen that one...but can't really remember if it was a sand dune or snow...

my brother and I did that when I was 18 in Zephyrhills outside of Tampa. My dad took us to do it without telling my mom, and she almost killed him afterwards. it was fucking amazing... Also got it recorded. I'll tell you what though, as awesome as it was, once is enough for this guy! That moment when you're standing in the doorway of the plane looking down is scary as balls

Why did he jump so low? I thought skydivers usually jumped from 10k-12k ft...

I thought that too but timed it and it takes him about 17 secs to fall and google says a human body falls at a terminal (double meaning here..) of about 55ms which means he'd have fallen nearly 1km. Which is pretty high! But yeah is normally 4k they dive from apparently.
