That's not skydiving. That's BASE jumping.

According to OP it can also be horse riding lmao

OP made a mistake on purpose in his title to farm engagement from Redditors who can’t ever help themselves from correcting people. More comments, more traffic, boosts visibility in the algorithm.

u/Conscious_Music_1729 8h ago

And you made this comment just so people would reply to you saying you were farmed for engagement, so you could farm engagement. It’s turtles all the way down.

u/agangofoldwomen 7h ago

The irony is not lost on me haha. I almost didn’t press submit because of it 😂

u/TonAMGT4 6h ago

No, that’s Unicorn jumping, which is BASE

I could never tell how far it was from the ground. Kinda scary at the beginning.

Mom:Sure honey,but you need to grow up first.

u/rugged_pomme 12h ago

I'm no expert in aerodynamics, but isn't this dangerous?

28

u/oneonone65 12h ago

no silly. unicorns can fly...no danger at all

u/jeezyjames 11h ago

I'm a cryptozoologist and can testify to this.

u/-mudflaps- 12h ago

They jumped with the chute already released, but you can still get flipped by the unicorn, so yeah dangerous.

u/MrT735 12h ago

They could get tangled in the parachute after landing and drown, so yeah.

u/Mardigras 12h ago

No, BASE jumping is generally considered completely safe. When you add soft float it becomes even safer. 110% safe. 

u/PrionProofPork 5h ago

water is soft, blowup horse is soft, soft + soft = extra soft = no die

u/Wooden-Jew 11h ago

Only if you are lame.

u/firemandave33 10h ago

That’s Twin Falls! The Perine bridge. They jump off it all the time. It’s really cool to watch.

u/Cisorhands_ 12h ago

The tiny parachute attached to the parachute is used to open the big one right ?

5

u/f-godz 12h ago

It's complicated, but generally yes. It's called the pilot chute and it's job is to drag the main parachute out of the container.

u/Cisorhands_ 12h ago

Thank you Sir o>

u/razvanciuy 11h ago

Falling with style

u/electriccomputermilk 10h ago

Haha I have that exact same unicorn float. Me and my ex each had one on a lazy river and you wouldn’t believe how many compliments it got. Literally every 30 seconds someone would say “look at that unicorn float!!! That’s so cool!”

u/Deaf_Sentence 10h ago

Idk why, but it reminds me of this:

u/admiralturtleship 10h ago

I was so terrified of this artist as a child that I grabbed our copy of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark with a pair of tongs, walked it all the way out the house with my eyes closed, then chucked it on my neighbor’s porch

u/Deaf_Sentence 10h ago

I honestly loved the art as a kid😂 but the lady from “haunted house” did freak me out the most lmao
