Gary Connery's Wingsuit Landing without using a Parachute 

Ha how true

nice..hihi

LOL

I know of one man who has landed multiple times without a parachute and most likely the most distinguished to have broken the most bones throughout his stunt career. Who was this man? Evel Knievel!

Twice. Usually the body bounces a fair bit.

So conspicuous by their Absence..

Thats the best part lol

I was thinking that too!

No shit

They're too busy trying to sue UK drinks manufacturers.

in short NO. too much wing loading to create enough lift to climb.

@@jaybee3165 I still think it is theoretically possible. Look up "Wingsuit Flare" where they describe how to gain altitude (of course not for the sake of landing).

I had the same idea, an upward flare like a "lob" reducing forward speed and converting it into height. reducing the chance of missing the LZ

probably have to have some quick feet lol

you're trying to accomplish STOL techniques with something shaped more like an X-15 and definitely NOT like a kitfox.

Louis van Tonder well what did you expect, a landing on his feet?

BAMF

Motocross full throttle compilation

Motocross NOT Him he’s a joke

Thank you ACME™!

Double the depth and no equipment required at all I imagine.

CHEATING BASTERS

And they were all empty too! Good thing they weren't filled with tent stakes or lawn darts or bowling balls.

This makes me think that something like this could be a new safety device in case of malfunction, like "If both main and reserve are hosed, try to land here".

Or have him wearing one🤔

There is another one filmed from the ground showing his landing into the boxes.

..or one worn by the skydiver himself.

It's a shame that folks don't look for what they want to see before jumping to conclusions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u5_ITt2LM0A.html

I know huh?

33argento yeah, what a fuckin idiot.

Where does he call him names?

Ill name call him, he's a fucking idiot and this isn't a landing. Get ready for the mad morons who think jumping to your death is a cool way to die while leaving all your loved ones behind to suffer for your selfish kicks.

Looks to me like he walked away from it.

Wasn't talking about him in particular, just the whole scene in general about this ''sport''.

You are right my friend, when I got introduced to him I was surprised because I felt a man of that talent should be well known and appreciated.

I would blame myself if I hear about an opportunity like this and I let it waste, please I am interested how can I do business with him.

After you take out your time then what do you do with it..? and where is it being taken out from? How much is there? Is it heavy? What size is it? Is it expensive? Would it not be easier to just leave your time in?

...PRICELESS!!!

😂😂

Ok boomer

She truly loves him, that's why she married you.

Benjamin Allan-Clark Great comment

haha one box won't be enough. He need to wear his boxes!

Very funny!

😂😂😂

and a box to be buried in.💀👍🐇💀👏

Hahahahahaha

You are correct, a guy by the name of Tom Boyd was doing this back in the 50s. I’ve seen his suit and helmet, he’s in the Smithsonian. I married his daughter.

Well said 😂😂😂

Some have actually lived.

How high did they bounce?

ba-da-tss 🥁

SIMKINETICS 🙄👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@SIMKINETICS .... good won!!!!

I was kinda expecting him to pull up, lose his forward speed, and land feet first. Guess there is not that kind of fine control with wing suits.

I’ve seen a video of this stunt taken from the ground.

@Oftin Wong Lol it is idiot. THis is typical, something never done before and almost everybody saying it's impossible and when it's done it suddenly not impossible it becomes less impressive. Fuck off dude.

Lots of cameras on the ground. Waiting for the TV special.

My thought exactly.

I have always wondered if one could flair upright and do a foot landing

@@mainewoods1862 Probably not possible.. too high AOA for a webbed suit IMO. I think you would just spin out of control the moment you tried to do that.

@@paulhope3401 We are all going to take your word for that. You sound pretty sure. I don't wanna find out at mach .5

@@napadave58 Haha.. me neither. 😀

@@mainewoods1862 nope speeds are too high.

lol

Good one

He did come in quite high. But luckily, the "runway" was still more than long enough.

We don't allow people with that amount of beans in them in aircraft!

His massive bollocks would have left bigger holes in the runway than the Vulcans that bombed Stanley Airport in the battle for the Falklands.

Kelly Larsen I

The moment he stepped off the chopper he was on final approach.

He was right on the money. Considering his stopping distance he hit it in the perfect safety margin. That shows fantastic control.

No go arounds

@@scottjustscott3730 I felt this an incredibly risky exercise. One freak gust of wind at 500ft and he has no time to correct. Yes. He made it this time but I would say the law of averages would be against you on this...

It was actually one of my orders from temu. He was supposed to land past that. Still waiting for him to pay that $10 bucks he owes me

Courseality ACIM yeah, I thought he'd have a mini chute to flare enough to land on his feet.

Next stop laying an egg

lompsonthompson crashing is just landing with style.

fuckin brilliant !!! YOU PROPER CAUGHT ME OFF GAURD !!! funny fuuny stuff

Should ask those defused daredevil teenagers to show us how its done

I know! I can hardly believe someone did that.

He DID look a lil tail heavy,right?

It's been done by a skydiver before, he jumped out a lot higher with no parachute and landed on boxes!

@@bluenose7984 post a link

@@genehunsinger3981 Just looked it up, he jumped into a huge net not boxes! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aPC_h9Vmlxw.html

Most underrated comment ever

Change scary to epic at the end rhymes better

Yeah, good up until the Gary/Scarry rhyme.

LMAO this is Breaking News

@@Brian_Williams5298 Breaking news or Cardboard breaking news? 😂😂

If he missed it would be ground breaking😀

I can't believe I'm the first person replying to your post in a week. I was thinking that WHILE I was watching this.The cameraman who was chasing him was probably like "Oh shit I forgot to call Fred and Harry to have them film from the ground!!"

Follow Humansarefokingcrazy on Instagram for the landing view of the same clip

Steve Sanford - There are at least a couple of videos of this shot from the ground. Here’s one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dRB-woVjlFY.html

@@RoadRunnerLaser Thankyou, this was good to see. But the point still stands as this video was just some random jackball with a cell phone. Where are the pro level videos of this pretty significant event....?

That would be cool! But not for him.

Minimizing drag to ensure the most lift from the suit. Also, cameras add just a little bit of distraction, he probably didn't want anything on his mind besides jumping, deploying, and landing,

Dude, YOU STOLE MY LINE! 😂

Haha jackassery...

Nah, usually it starts with the words "hi, my name is Johnny Knoxville"

Sometimes it starts with hey y'all watch this

Accept Jesus, and turn from sin, before it's too late.

LMAO!

Probably the culmination of a few hundred trials of some type! Hats off to him though.

These suits usually have a 3 to 1 ratio meaning for every foot you go down you go forward 3 feet so say he jumped from 1000 feet he needed to be 3000 feet from the landing site.

@@renegade5130 please share a video proving your calculations.. 😎

True. I guess even practicing it using a parachute, the weight of the parachute vs none, would have to be taken into consideration? Makes one wonder how late one could safely deploy a parachute in this sport?

@@OmmerSyssel Many folks don't understand we can control to a great degree, the glide ratio. it's not a fixed glide ratio, and depending on wingloading, G/R have been as high as 5:1. There are many examples of even brief climbs in altitude. Hitting the boxes was not any kind of calculation. Had he been any range within 1 mile of the target, hitting the target is relatively easy. Being able to pull a good stall like Gary did, or being able to contain the glide slope is the bigger consideration. Gary did this perfectly, as indicated by his stall just above the cardboard ramp, and his short touchdown length. The unknowable factor is the courage it took to jump with this goal in the first place. Funny side note, there are a couple wingsuit pilots who boasted for many years, that they'd be the first in the world to do this, presenting plans costing millions of dollars and years in planning. Gary heard these claims, and within a couple months had a plan and he just "did it." He is not only an incredibly talented person, he's als an incredibly genuine and humble man.

Boooo

true because he still didnt land on pavement using only the wingsuit.

@David Benner way use the boxes use the pavement!!

He could have stayed on the ground drinking a beer. Would have saved him about half an hour and lots of money.

They used up all their camera funding on boxes

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What if he jumped out with the boxes?

I thought that was an OHNO.

I figured it was a HFS flight - holy f'ng sh#t

@@bob5951 OHNO = HFS, same thing.

Had wutang playing in his headphones...

They next time it will be duct tape holding the boxes instead of staples

balls made into julienne fries

Reed Icculus If he landed in water from that height even WITH a wingsuit he'd be dead. Slamming into water from heights like that is no different than hitting concrete...Mythbusters tested that myth ages ago..twice. Once with buster the dummy for breaking the water's surface tension with a hammer to make it survivable from a bridge's height and then later with simdavers from a helicopter..both times did NOT end well for the guy hitting water. The wingsuit isn't a parachute, it's more for a controlled long distance glide used with a parachute for a safe landing..without a parachute you'd be going too fast on landing to survive unless you did what Gary here did and used all those boxes to slow down his impact over time and distance upon contact..and I promise you that probably still hurt quite a bit on first impact even if it's softish cardboard.

He could flare...then it would be more like bodysurfing at...80MPH?

Yep that’s correct.....the one guy said right.....it’s said.....crashed into the boxes with style.....be’s still ‘s move’s but you would think that them boxes are really not the soft .....I mean cardboard.......lol

I think I would have gotten something with foam.....or a bit softer then cardboard

You know......my thoughts...is......who is the brainchild that’s going on to “think “ that’s “ we have been tested wing suits.....and we Think.....that’s we...think we are about ready for the attempt that’s we are try to jump from a helicopter of a height of 2000 feet.......without any Parachute....wearing nothing but a winged suit......and then the person will land standing up for a TV Interviews........for everyone............

🤣🤣🤣

yeah..but break them down or they won't pick them up

How can you assume 99% didn't? That's just weird.

BRIELLAGAMER2000 !!! I did.

By 1% you mean pretty much everybody?

I did the same thing and was disappointed there was no land in just a crash into a bunch of boxes. I would have been even more disappointed had I watched the whole thing.

BRIELLAGAMER2000 !!! I am in the club

dercncplaner also known as ‘Controlled Flight into Terrain’, or CFT

@@christopherwalsh1420 or like that

@@christopherwalsh1420 So true.

“Falling with style”

A forced cardboard box landing

I double dare you..

Very small parachutes have the same or very similar glide ratios as wing suits. They can move nearly as fast as wingsuits. His parachute was opened when the camera cut from one scene to the next at 1:33

Alex Smith no cause you can see him actually deploy his chute a 2:17

Yup don't be talking about small chute glide ratio. That was definitely one of the mothers of lowpulls.

I hit rewind on that a few times... I couldnt believe it

Yea that was a VERY low opening! Wouldn't surprise me if that guy has a special forces background.

Oh thank fucking god ur here to tell us all about it. Douche

Yes, I'm sure everyone watching this thinks it's a piece of cake.

@@TheJoshMaggot omg, thank you!

Speak for yourself peter peter spunk eater.

I get it, but I dunno, man. I don’t know how difficult brain surgery or heart transplants are, but I certainly don’t appreciate them any less. I also don’t even begin to understand how difficult it is to build a service like RU-vid and keep it running well enough for random people to leave comments on random videos, but I still appreciate the heck out of that, too. But when you do understand the difficulty, I’m sure it does add another dimension of appreciation for someone’s hard work. I work in cybersecurity and I can guarantee that people have no idea how difficult that is - you have to be right every single time and the bad guys only have to be right once - but I still keep doing it and love doing it. And I also appreciate how difficult it is to make sure that it’s you who’s making comments on your account instead of me or someone else. What I know about what I do does give me a greater appreciation of someone else’s excellence in my field. So I get where you’re coming from.

They already did that in the 70's, it was called a "hang glider".

@@jimrobinson7441 Ha. Time to miniaturise, then

Actually Christopher flaring is not all birds do if you watch closely while they flare they employ reverse thrust with their wings this not only helps keep them aloft in the flare, but it also slows them down and assists the flare in stopping them...

@@FSEVENMAN From my perspective that's what a flare is, it's not just facing the wings forward in some fashion but a range of motion that checks airspeed. However, even if all a wingsuit can eventually do is check airspeed by changing the wing aspect, that's a great improvement that if it slows a person down enough a tumble landing could be had...no worse maybe than an army landing...a ww2 landing, lol. Less likely is a modern "step-off" landing imo.

The obvious problem is the timing of the flare. Too soon, quite the drop. Too late...

May be too dangerous for the crash? Battery can explode.

Petros Kefallinos Interesting suggestion... I don't agree. GoPros have been subject to intense impact from all sorts of hardcore sports. Not to mention, we put batteries all over the place. Places much harsher than the conditions that a human body could survive flying into cardboard boxes. Also, places where the 'explosive' failure of a battery would be disastrous.

Chan nel I really just said something that could be possible, i don't base it on anything... i searched on the internet the vertical speed of a wingsuiter is around 50km/h and the forward 170km/h so i am guessing that this video is fake because it would be very hard to damp all this energy, also i believe that they would have made the ''runway'' a little bit wider if there was a life at play there...

Petros Kefallinos Wingsuiters fly meters away under and over objects all the time. The tolerances seem acceptable for someone who knows what they're doing. As for dampening that much force, weirdly enough, cardboard boxes are often used to dampen extreme impacts like this in film making with stunt doubles and the like, because for some strange reason they're really really reliable at doing it and they're cheap. Highest recorded stunt-type drop I could find was from Ferdie Fischer, who fell 45 meters into cardboard boxes, which means he'd be traveling at 107km/h on impact. He used far far fewer boxes. Additionally, it appears wingsuiter Gary Connery was taking measures to minimize his speed on impact, which is very much not a thing wingsuiters would do to this extreme, so he'd probably be moving at a significantly slower speed than the average wingsuiter. This is all crudely applied estimation of course, but the numbers don't seem THAT unreasonable.

Chan nel Hmmmm You have a point....for now, who knows ? I am sure we will find out in the future though if this fall is real or not...

That’s called a ✈️

The built in landing gear is called a parachute

He had a parachute...so it's not that exciting. He lined himself up and probably had til the last few seconds to pull the parachute. This is not a landing, the title is very misleading.

He had the choice to pull kind of low as the other guy did so, but it's still bad ass. One wrong move and that could be all she wrote.

@@albertcampos959 dude, it's still bad ass. Don't be that dude. He could've pulled low in guessing as the other guy did so, but it's still fuckin cool. I'll bet at that speed the boxes didn't feel too good but he almost overshot the landing and he would've been too low to pull. Even if he didn't die from it he'd be fucked up. Always gotta be that dude that says it isn't impressive but I'm certain you wouldn't try it.

@@erictalkington5674 It's ballsy, but that's not what I'm saying. I said: NOT a landing.

@@albertcampos959 How do you define a landing that this does not qualify as a landing?

That’s what she said.

he hit exactly the same spot as the first time you watched it.

I was thinking the same....

Guy jumping without parachute and without wing suit into catch net more impressive

You mean 'superhero three point landing'? That would shatter your legs in a nanosecond..doing it from STUNT height without ropes and pulleys to compensate hurts like hell..Because Science has a video on that here on RU-vid.

everyone can land, not everyone can survive the landing.

I guarantee you everyone that jumps out of a plane with or without a parachute or wing suit hits the ground. Simple logic.

It's called a parachute

He said wing suite flying not a parachute or other gliding devise.

Eric B You can do that, just deploy the parachute..... Yet it’s blokes like Gary who lead the way for us all to be able to eventually get to a grass landing.....

So your mother is a cardboard box? 🤔

I was hoping something of the sort myself.

Then you do it.

Darth Bane Never claimed I could. He did.

kdmcc7 but he didn’t use a parachute.

kdmcc7 dumb fuck he jumped with out a parachute and landed. Don’t matter if he landed on boxes or slammed into them or what ever, he did jump with out chute and landed, he’s not still flying around to this day dumb ass, everyone’s opinion of landing can be different. What you think he’s really going to jump with out a chute and land softly on his feet like iron man dumb ass.

When you fly and hit the ground that is called a landing. He landed.

visitors obviously gave a couple of box to see this happening

Yes surely it must have been. 😂
