(if you’re worried, don’t: i checked before posting. “A rodeo spokesperson told KCRA 3 that the skydiver is doing well aside from a small cut over his lip and that he will be jumping again this Friday evening.”)
Thanks. And thanks for checking before posting. A classy approach.
The guy was effectively being slapped at the ground. Very glad he got lucky with the canvas. Even before he got snagged, looks like he was going to hit something or someone.
He's a professional and does this every year at the Folsom Rodeo. His flag just happened to get caught in the tree. The tent broke his fall.
"Tis but a scratch".
That’s great to hear. But why was he coming in over people? That was a hazardous approach. It looked so ridiculous, I thought it was AI.
Sonia’s obviously organized by Trump personnel.
Dog the fates cut you a break by giving you that canopy as a crumple zone. If there was pavement there you would be doing an impression of an egg thrown on pavement. I think the universe wants you to call this one off bud.
"doing well aside from a small cut over his lip and that he will be jumping again this Friday"
This is a perfect description of American foreign policy - they never learn.
There’s something deeply ironic about an AI bro talking about caring for others when the tech you love so much is killing the planet and ruining small towns and cities.
Oh the flag caught and tipped the chute forward but the ram air chute didn’t stall collapse luffe it was just purely physics it was flying around an anchor.
youtu.be/4PA1fntU88c?...
How does that even happen? Didn’t have a high performance small ram air canopy and was trying to hook it in and show off. Didn’t look to be running with the wind? Time for YouTube view
The music is the chefs kiss and if this isn’t a direct sign from up above (literally) alll those fake evangelicals need a reimagining of their faith lmao
This is where I live (Folsom, California) and it was the first night of our 4th of July celebrations at our annual Pro Rodeo, the celebrations for the 4th of July begin on 07/02. While I'd love to say this was all pro MAGA idiots, it's not. Folsom Pro Rodeo draws all kinds of fun/awesome people 😊
He's part of the Pro Rodeo entertainment, not a random person. Folsom is home to Folsom Lake and the American River, it has a famous historical district (Sutter Street) where the rodeo grounds are just outside of...
...each night of the rodeo, there are thousands of people out on the street and on the river, it's the reason his flags are so large, it's because he's being seen by thousands of people at the festivities...and his stunt is that he's supposed to "land" in the middle of the rodeo. Hope that explains
I’ve lived in Folsom since ‘03. While it may not be all MAGA idiots, the majority definitely are, with their MAGA hats and Trump flags. The only neighbors of ours that go every year are our Trumper ones, so that should say something right there. Also, who celebrates America with a pedo in office?
I've lived in Folsom since Bidwell ended at Blue Ravine and Sutter middle was Folsom High School (80's) I think you're confusing Folsom with Roseville. I fly a huge flag on my home all year long and I have for years, because I'm a patriot. I'm also a Democratic Socialist who adores Hasan Piker.
No confusion I know what I see. More power to you for being so patriotic. As a non-white person, it’s hard for me to be patriotic for a country that is literally snatching people off the streets that look like me or my kids. Flying a flag for a country run by a pedo is a weird flex but you do you.
An experienced jumper can land within 10m, so catching is do-able. Issues will be how much each flag slows you down and makes you descend faster, and weird low level air currents. Jumpers avoid landing near trees and buildings for a reason
It's amazing how the American flag has become a negative symbol, a source of division instead of unity, politically polarizing, and something people argue over rather than rally around.
Why is it that the most "patriotic" are usually the worst at flag code?
How on earth does such a stunt intend to land while preventing the flag from touching the ground?
This might be the funniest blooper reel ever. And,.. Chicken Little said” the stars .. and stripes are falling” ….looking forward to more of this sideways shit , tonight , from these zany kids.
Another metaphor is that in my small town a cop handed me a cheap foreign-made American flag, and the stick immediately broke and then stabbed me in the hand and drew blood.
A Neo Nazi masked White Supremacy group is marching in the Capitol and not one peep out of FOX or Trump. Patriot Front has been doing this for years with zero pushback from the "Party of freeing slaves". These people in those mask are just KKK in a new outfit.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾. I think… A power greater than myself, is REALLY trying to tell them something !!! I wonder 🤔…. if they are capable of listening, learning and understanding ???!
Glad the diver is okay. What is a shame is the first thing that went through my head is "This guy is gonna hit a tree wont he?" And there it is.
All in all, glad the dudes okay and Im gonna go scrub my brain with E-Commerce honework.
Yep - I’m glad the skydiver is ok, and I know this had nothing to do with any of Trump’s Freedom 250 events, but I’ve gotta say … it sure feels like a metaphor for them.
If you are going to flop face-first out of control from a height, I guess a canvas awning is about the best you could hope to hit. I don't like the gaudy stunt, but I hope he was ok.
Hail storms, heat waves, algae, lesions all over his body, and then this? If that blood vessel in his Taco Bell encrusted brain pops today I’m going to take a long bug look at divine intervention.
Yeah, I wonder how many of our MAGA friends that have been taken by the years of propoganda from Pledge of Allegiance all freaked out tryin' to keep that flag off the ground.
I don't think they had to worry, tho, flag didn't reach the ground. Flag wanted to be friends with those tree branches!
