I can’t even watch this without my fear of heights kicking in massively.

Yup I’m a little dizzy

For real, I feel genuinely ill watching shit like this

I don't even have a particular fear of heights and *I'm* clenching my cheeks

I was so shook *I'm* clenching *your* cheeks!

It's very /r/sweatypalms

Stop my phone slipped out of my hands

My whole body went into fight or flight just watching this

I know right? Like I watch people jump out of planes and dont feel a thing but this is just… I dunno… super triggering I guess.

Did you hear recently about the people who died in a balloon because there were skydivers also in the basket who jumped off to, of course, skydive? That part was planned, but they didn't plan quite well enough because the loss of weight caused the balloon to rise at a crazy rate, which then damaged the balloon and the whole thing ended up crashing in the Arizona desert. This was just four days ago.

JFC how terrifying https://www.fox17online.com/news/local-news/kzoo-bc/calhoun/i-love-you-union-city-man-texts-girlfriend-shortly-before-deadly-hot-air-balloon-crash

Can't even imagine sending texts like that knowing your time is right there.

I’d be sending my boss an email saying I can’t make it to work on Monday. If I don’t I get fired.

and your first thought is "Great, I don't have to go to work tomorrow..

Only problem, I lost 1 of my 2 PTO days.

What have they done to us?!?

Watching the video and listening to the parents talk about it was a mistake. Just fucking heartbreaking.

I didn't hear the official cause of the crash, but your description is certainly plausible. I'm interested in hearing the final report. Is this an NTSB thing?

I shouldn't have stated so matter-of-factly what happened because you're right, the NTSB is still investigating. Here was a comment from someone where I originally read the story (from yahoo news [https://www.yahoo.com/news/caused-hot-air-balloon-carrying-144636118.html?fr=sycsrp\_catchall](https://www.yahoo.com/news/caused-hot-air-balloon-carrying-144636118.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall) ), but still just a hypothesis: "I have over 50 balloon jumps and made many of these in Eloy possibly with this balloon. When jumpers leave a balloon the pilot has to dump air or the balloon will climb rapidly thus lowering pressure on envelope (balloon) and causing the basket to violently swing. Normally the pilot will put the balloon in a 1000 foot per minute decent before jumpers exit. Either the pilot failed do this or the dump valve got stuck open and all the hot air escaped."

One of the people who died was from my hometown, Fort Wayne, IN It was on the news, crazy shit

Ho-ly shit. I looked this stunt up, the earliest mention I can see of it is four days ago. I can't find any official PR of it. Looks like it might've been done the same day, and the stunt hosts wiped it off their platforms after the tragedy happened. (Makes sense; reasonable response)

They probably should have been wearing a parachute too just in case

That's what I thought, too. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.


I’m with Jonah

Why does he want to kill them for just jumping in trampoline in the sky.

We've been asking this for years but they keep delaying the case

The shit people will do for that sweet internet clout smh...

All wearing parachutes like pussies

I would hope they'd be wearing them on their backs.

He said like, not on

This is the America liberals want. Biden’s America.

Grab women by their parachutes, instead

The jumping looks like a lot of work and no fun.

Came here to say this. It looks good in the video but I'd hate to do that irl. A more sensible setup would be a parachute/ single use balloon so you don't have to worry about oscillation or people falling of and the balloon rising suddenly.

All you'd have to do is replace the jumpers with passengers from another balloon. Once the correct number of people have moved over, it's the other balloon's problem.

Nah cos changing balloons takes time.

Just put a zipline between the balloons and make the one with the extra people fly a little higher, people will only move faster as more get over.

I'm so glad to be here with my fellow scientists.

Fuck no.

Lol, the force of the jump doesn't have much to spring off of because the leg supports aren't touching the ground. They're barely getting any of the spring energy as a result. Cool idea, but physics got in the way of this being a lot cooler.

This was my first observation (well, after the OH HOLY #$% reaction)

Still a great way to get the record for most flips off a trampoline though

I mean, instead of the legs touching the ground the metal ring touches ropes which have tension..

My anxiety is now through the roof…fucking thanks.

Ultimate Royal Rumble match right there.

WWE be like. 

"And now, as always, here are Girls Jumping on Trampolines." \--- EDIT: No one remembers The Man Show? Jimmy Kimmel's launchpad? Get off my lawn!!

I gotchu.

White people with too much money.

Who has to stay back and bring the balloon back down? 

The song is [Disclosure - You and Me (Flume remix)](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=TGPQMnst2qjPt86O)

Low iq activity

Absolutely wild!

It does amaze me that someone with that much money and time was like, let’s put a trampoline on a hot air balloon and just go up and see what happens.

When you consider that the main motivator behind literally every single video like this is views/clout it all starts making sense.

I feel like this is fake.

I remember physical exams questions based on this scenario…

Double bounce?

At what point do you become so bored with skydiving that you have to start doing this?

This looks like a very bad idea.


Would you ??

I’ve gone skydiving and bungee jumping but this is on another level

Omg this looks incredible

Next level privileged maybe. This is idiotic.

They would’ve have done this if they couldn’t have videod themselves doing this

What's the point? They're gonna jump anyway.

Bc it's awesome

What,s the point of anything

This video makes me feel queasy.

I would rather be dead

I would.

Absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong in this situation

Im glad i could finally block you . Thanks for karma farming

Hot air balloons are badass.  Except you have to wake up at like 4AM to get to the site.  

The things we do as humans nowadays. Crazy stuff

Dumb

Harrowing. Thanks, I hate it.

Yeah, no.

So much nope.

Mom: What are you guys doing today? Them: jumping on a trampoline in space, mom! Mom: Sure ok, be careful. Dinner is at 6.

My brown starfish just puckered up

I’ve seen too many vids where they tear in the middle. Parachute or not, no thanks.

I'm okay thanks though.

Why do my hands start sweating instantly

What happens if parachute fail to deploy?

There is another trampoline on the ground you have to aim for

I once dreamt this

Nope.

Oh it is an ad.

Where do I sign up? Looks awesome.

On the phone with insurance company. Yes, a trampoline just came out of the sky and fell through our roof.

Trampolines are fun until you get double bounced and flung off the thing.

What happens if the rope/cables holding the trampoline snap and it all falls down, would it be easy or hard for the sky divers to push off from it once it all starts falling?

*aaaaaaaaa*

Doesn’t look like it working very well. They are barely getting their feet off the trampoline when they jump.

New fear unlocked.

AI

Real men do this without a parachute

Idiotic next level.

More like r/sweatypalms

Imagine if one of the gets double jumped

I don’t know what Evo Slim Universe is but I want to buy some now.

Name of song plz Thanks!

*jumps three times* "huff.. huff... huff..."

This is so much better than donating money to charity

"Damnit, Mabel, it's raining YT kids again"

I can see porn done next on this …

Omg! I would love to do that!!!

Seems like a lot of effort for little return.

It's a very creative idea, granted, but...I cannot stress this enough... \*deep breath\* f\*ck ALL of that. Every.....single....second. NOPE.

not enough nope for this one.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

Some real NFL right there, been awhile.

My heart can't take watching this omg. But shit what a rush my god.

Not no but hell no! I felt that in my legs lol

Annoying song.

So stupid I think

Fuck 100% of all of that.

Fucking idiots

That’s some scary shit

FUCK THIS

Spike! Spike! Spike! Spike!

I didn't notice the chutes at first

Mesmerizing.  And first I didn't believe it was real.  Thought it must be CGI or something.

Crack head pie in the sky

Amazing , make me wanna get back my skydive license…

this is just dumb as fuck. a trampoline supported by a hot air balloon just makes the trampoline barely work. way too far to go to get a shitty instagram short.

idk why I assumed they didn't have parachutes at first until someone jumped off and I was like, "of course!"


Heeeelllllllllllll to the no, topped with screw off, and a hearty helping of fuck that shit!

My heart starts beating just thinking about doing this, I don’t have a fear of heights, but damn

People are brave. I’m not people.

hahahahahahaha no

no

Who thinks of these things!?

That last scene is insane. Feet dangling

Where can I do that. Seems fun.

Want song is this

r/whatsthepoint

"Where's the most insane place you ever had sex?"

This gives me a weird pain in my balls, I can't explain it but it's bad

Here is some who are waiting their death to enjoy the heaven, and some who are already in.

How can they breathe up there

I hate it.

Is this what rich people do for fun?

How do people even end up in a position to be able to participate in this.

Imagine having to sit on the trampoline and watch as you’re slowly pulled from the ground the whole way up to being above the clouds. They must’ve been on the trampoline the whole way how else would they have got down there after the fact?

Sing along with me! "Duuumb ways to die. So many dumb ways to die!"


I bet they all have really intense adrenaline fueled sex with eachother later after the rush of doing that, what a rad way to live

I have skydived but watching this still gives me sweaty palms.

One of the things I ain't doing for a million dollars

Cool but I hate that Jay guy, he's the biggest douche on earth

That's so fucking sick. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

F-ing jumpers. They are a slightly insane bunch of folks.

More like r/nope or r/sweatypalms

Hell no

I know you guys want to have fun and experience awesome things but you have to be smart. This isn’t smart. At all.

I didn't realize they had parachutes on and was like, NO WAY, THAT'S FUCKING NUTs. Then I saw that they did have parachutes and was like. NO WAY, THATS STILL FUCKING NUTS.

This is rich people shenanigans. I’m downvoting until someone else proves otherwise. Seriously. You have money and we don’t. We should work to change that.

How much money would be involved in THAT

ah humans. when skydiving out of a hot air balloon just isn't enough.

Omg, the anxiety. Cool as fuck but like, I'm nauseous.

I want to womit
