Speechless... Stupid... Ballsy. All of the above.
I wish the camera had stayed in close to see how they hooked him up with a chute.

For a minute I thought they were going to interlock and both Travis and the safety guy use one chute.
It was actually a pretty controlled stunt, so not sure if it is the most stupid thing i've ever seen though...

^lol

I wonder how many times that's been done before . . . and i hope it's always worked. It did look pretty controlled, although I'm not sure I'd be up for putting on a parachute midfall.

you can tell the whole thing was rehearsed on the giant fan simulators.... see him shout "red bull gives you wings".... perfect for an over-dub for advertisement. They knew exactly what they were doing.... but still the 100% stupidest thing I've EVER seen.

It gives you wings if a friend helps you. Don't see the Red Bull causal link there.

Great stunt nevertheless!
