Crazy stuff going on in the world and this seems sane. Except for the shotgun

[dodo bird]

My question is if you HAD to do this..... What would you pick? I would chose a pair of .22 rough riders. In case I dropped one. What say y’all?

Looks like firearm abuse to me at 3:07 just use a blow gun and darts if your going to chunk it on the ground.

Does the word "moron" pop into anyone else's head?

I would have chose a .22 pistol with a lanyard attached. A whole lot of stupid people in that production. Had he dropped the shotgun, he could have still bailed out and done his parachute drop, but the balloons and chairs would have continued into the atmosphere to remain a real hazard to commercial air travel. Morons.

What would have been great is a few seconds after dropping that shotgun if we would have heard a loud pop and a scream from our “hero” (self absorbed moron) as he had just received a butt full of 7 1/2 pellets from his own shotgun.

That would have served him right on a number of levels.

He did drop the shotgun. When his parachute opened he dropped the shotgun so he could control his landing.

I find idiot attention whores really disgusting.

If I contemplated doing something this stupid for even an instant, I wouldn’t care about what gun I used, I’d be considering what shrink to see that would help me figure out why I was so needy.

The sad part is can't be unseen.

That guy is a copy-cat , not at all original. Some eccentric innovated that "technique" decades ago in Los Angeles , without all the fanfare and 72 go-pros. No parachute , IIRC. Attained enough altitude that he was spotted and reported by an airline pilot on approach to LAX. Arrested upon landing. No YouTube ; he just wanted to give it a whirl.

I actually liked the original guy , this guy is a GoPro Me Me Look at ME twit. As to what gun - I wish he had dropped whatever gun he chose and had no means of popping any balloons. THAT would have been interesting!

Extreme idiocy for attention.

Dude with the steam-powered rocket won the award this year I think. Lost his parachutes on take off.

 

[Stew0576]

All I could think of is if all his trash landed on my property i would be really pissed

He used a pellet gun and in regard to his state of mind, he also took beer with him...obviously knew it wasn’t a crazy idea as the only time bad things happen is when someone needs to hold your beer so you can engage in the activity.

he too dropped the gun, no mention of the beer though.

That guy was a air-head --- I'm surprised he needed the balloons.....

 

[Waveski]

I actually admire the original Lawnchair Larry.
Imitators be damned.

Everyone should have a good BP naval cannon handy, just in case the flying dingbats mount an air assault.

Go Pros and selfies are the modern retardism. To bad the gun didn't end up his backside. Just think of the insurance money spent on self inflicted injuries. I don't like to wish i,ll will on anyone. But some of these guys deserve to be worm food for their stupidity.
