Nutter of the week

Hence skimming it rather than diving in. Dunno.

I always thought landing on boxes could hurt - they're very strong at the edges so what if you catch one wrong?!

I think boxes are easier to land on than water, because they absorb a lot of energy when they crumble. Water by contrast acts like a non-Newtonian fluid at speed, getting harder than we are used to seeing it behave normally.

Though come to think of it planes land on water too.

Come to think of it #2. Water skiers presumably could manage a 2 m jump at 50 mph too.

Headcam view from the chap who followed him out. I still can't believe he survived this (or was even allowed to try it).

It's amazing to watch realising that those changes to the flight path are man-made, with no rigid control surfaces and unpowered.

Pretty amazing! Makes my hands sweat just looking at it.

There we go, the next trick - jump out of a plane in a wingsuit which turns into an inflatable dingy

It would be interesting to know what, if anything, he plans to do next.
