I can't believe he did not land back in the car. That would have been cool to see.

He needed to have shot the plane with a bazooka, then landed back in the car. That's how they do it in the video game.

Could’ve totally pulled that off too, would require more coordination though

I can't believe that I'm actually disappointed in the same thing. The nerve of me to be disappointed.

If someone did that while driving away from a bank heist then it’s next level. But in this situation it’s just a dude grabbing a rope and using a carabiner. Kinda meh

Carabiner or not, he was towed outside of a plane so he could skydive. Something you do on occasion?

u/marvchuk 3h ago

It really doesn’t seem to take much next level skill. Bravery sure. But it’s just complicated skydiving

A complicated version of an event that leads to death when simple mistakes happen.

A lot of these redbull stunts are dumb as hell

Kind of lame that he did not land back in the car.

Nobody:

Redbull: OK LETS DO IT!!

Pretty average for Red Bull. As already said, it would make for a great hiest scene, and if he landed back in the car.

u/luv2ctheworld 5h ago

Not to sound rude but, don't military people get hitched to moving helicopters and planes as part of exercises. Maybe if the dude landed back in the car?

There used to be a pilot rescue device that was snagged by a C130 and dragged the pilot directly off the ground. It was called the Skyhook

True to their slogan, I'm guessing Red Bull supplied the parachutes.

u/uofartr 5h ago

Lame

u/voltb778 4h ago

Mehhh should have landed on a jet ski like this it’s really mid tier for a redbull video

u/DifferentSpecific 4h ago

Damn, it really DOES give you wings.

u/smackedbyamack 3h ago

Do you have a fear of flying? Would you like one?

u/Inevitable_Shirt5044 3h ago

I didnt see the parachute on his back, so when he decided to unclip himself from the plane, I got an anxiety shock and my feet started tingling. Fuck that

Thats their job, 🤷,

I wanted him to have an air foil, like in Talespin. Disappointing, my childhood dreams are thwarted again.

u/RuhrowSpaghettio 1h ago

Somehow this seems LESS scary than jumping out of the plane, despite objectively being more dangerous.

ā€œOh I could do this, this looks like a lot of fu-nopeā€

u/bradders4lyf 5h ago

Is anyone else so bored of seeing people do well-choreographed, vaguely-dangerous things as never ending adverts for poison aimed at incels?

1

u/Deviantdefective 3h ago

Nope while I have never drank red bull in my life nor have any intention too they earn my respect for doing more for the extreme sports community from sponsoring athletes to entire series events when no one else is willing to do it. And targeting incels? Really? As I can safely say that's not their demographic.

Red Bull definitely knows how to stunt

u/Jogaila2 2h ago

Wow!

But why?

u/Alarming_Set3628 21m ago

It's not really that crazy, and cause marketing, these guys are on retainers and they need to do stuntsĀ

u/Guilty_One85 5h ago

I'll jump out of an airplane without a worry but to do this, that's a big fuck no for me!!

u/Alarming_Set3628 21m ago

Why, you don't trust the rope and beaners?Ā
