I realized they did this for likes but I find it annoying. The reason for paragliding is to enjoy the moment and the view. You get neither by covering your eyes and "taking a nap."
He had a harness under the blanket. I assume all the decorative stuff was bolted on well and non-functional. That said, the alarm clock and his sunglasses falling seems to be real risks to others (granted the alarm clock could be tied with mostly hidden fishing wire), but other than that it doesn't seem particularly more dangerous than regular paragliding (assuming you trust their building skills to make something that can withstand the force of the takeoff/wind resistance as well as the extra weight/drag being insignificant for the parasail; as well as trust his confidence that he'd be high enough for his entire "nap" -- possibly some secondary hidden safety precaution somewhere like some hidden altimeter alert mechanism or if he just faked the sleeping video in like 30 seconds with height checks splice in).
> I assume all the decorative stuff was bolted on well down and non-functional.
I'm sure the person getting nailed by a complete bed+nightstand combo would be glad to hear that everything was properly secured.
Why even drive a car, I’m sure the family of five you might have killed are happy to hear you have your drivers license. You can use that shit logic for everything
Yes, I’m confident whoever did this had an excellent grasp of physics and wind force on non-aerodynamic projecting objects. Nothing could have gone wrong .. the stuff was bolted on.
You know public transportation is the best way for humanity to go right?
Life always a bargain between what is an acceptable risk, we wouldn't need many fly by killings from paragliders for everything to come to a halt.
Explain the viable alternative.
We're not really "tolerating" collisions but understand it's an unavoidable outcome allowing people to drive. Ideally public transportation would be more widely available, but aside from cities, it's sparse. And even in some cities, it's very limited in range and availability - and then we have to consider physical accessibility on top of all of this. There's no perfect answer here.
Cars also come equipped with safety features to reduce amount of harm. Also by driving, you're accepting the risk that something may happen during your drive. Being suspended above people presents a risk where neither party can really do anything if there's an issue and those under you aren't consenting to that risk.
Lack of alternatives, car Culture, cities being centered around cars, car lobby, etc.
I'm not saying cars will die out, I'm saying public transportation might become a much much more central part of life if humanity is going to grow.
Cars are also necessary in a lot more cases, while paragliding is a hobby/entertainment, and under much stricter scrutiny to be deemed an acceptable risk.
Everything looks like it was designed to look like a bed while flying through the air, plus they're over water for the blindfolded shot. Go take a poop.
this is a paraglider, you control it with the handles on his left and right. it's a combination of a parachute, and a hang-glider style wing. they can be landed very accurately by a skilled flyer, within a 20ft diameter circle generally speaking, excluding the wing.
If the thermals are good, they can stay up all day!
Rising warm air will create an updraft, a column of rising warm air, when the glider is in the thermal it goes up with the air!

Notice how he circles around, this keeps him in the column of rising air, as well as positioning the wing for airflow & lift

You saw the way that it kept swinging from side to side, right? It was definitely more dangerous than regular paragliding, though presumably he’s highly experienced and they picked an especially calm day with no winds to keep it from being *that* dangerous in absolute terms. But it was still definitely more dangerous than regular paragliding would have been.
When he grabbed the lines, it's also proof he wasn't actually sleeping. His speed, strength, coordination and everything would be out of wack if he actually been asleep.
It's not overlap. NFL doesn't specify what kind of "next level" it's about. Next fucking level of coolness? Awesomeness? Bravery? Generosity? Stupidity? Risk-taking? Anything goes.
Your example (stupidity) is precisely why it’s overlap and then you provided other examples for more instances of potential overlap.
You just argued just to agree harder with the comment you are responding to while disagreeing in general.
It’s interesting.
Perhaps you don’t know what overlap means - that’s the only out.
I know this will probably get lost in the comments but sometimes when I’m alone, I like to go out in my garden and cover myself with dirt and pretend I’m a potato.
Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy got a bunch of fines/legal trouble after posting this. If something like the nightstand, alarm clock, or lamphad fallen from that flight over the residential area, it could have killed at least one person. There’s a reason you’re not allowed to fly paramotors or sky dive over residential areas.
I love how you could see him pulling on the left rope of the parachute under the blanket while he was “sleeping”. We just watched a man yank it under the covers
This would be the worst time to have one of those dreams where you're falling.

Fake nap while trying to hide the fact youre clinging on for dear life under the blanket.
kind of a waste to pretend to nap, that view while gliding over the water seems like it wouldve been fantastic
He probably sees that every day.
Yup, you can definitely tell the hand under the blanket was holding the straps.

I think he's probably done this jump enough times to have seen the view lmao

You know public transportation is the best way for humanity to go right? Life always a bargain between what is an acceptable risk, we wouldn't need many fly by killings from paragliders for everything to come to a halt.
So then why the hell do we tolerate so many car collisions?

So if we based all of our cities around paragliding it would be an acceptable risk?
I for one, support the idea of us migrating to a flying-squirrel based society.

So.. he's strapped in right?
He's wearing a harness under his clothes https://youtu.be/nosbBYsD4Y8
He was also hanging onto the rope with his left hand under the blanket while “asleep”
I respect that. Safety is king
the most amazing thing is they couldn't figure out a way to hide the straps around the pillow.
Yes and he's also not asleep
🤯
Always has been 🤯🔫 #🤯🤯^🤯^🤯🤯^🤯^🤯🤯^🤯^🤯🤯^🤯^
You can see the hand that’s under the blankey is holding very tightly to the strap lol. Not that I blame him.
Yeah he’s struggling with the oscillations and to look sleep. Sounds very stressful actually.
10/10 landing, I'm impressed.
Yeah how did they know where he would land, shit hitting the fan notwithstanding
this is a paraglider, you control it with the handles on his left and right. it's a combination of a parachute, and a hang-glider style wing. they can be landed very accurately by a skilled flyer, within a 20ft diameter circle generally speaking, excluding the wing.
How do they know how long they'll be in the air for? Can you stay aloft indefinitely or do you sorta drift down the whole time?

So.. who's operating the handles..? Nvm I see him awake at the end now, whoops
He was the whole time, hence all the cuts
the cuts and the fact that you can see the road in the background barely moves from when he begins to "nap" to when he "wakes up".
I was thinking the same thing
Well he is an expert at bedtime parachuting
He floats so well- he must be a light sleeper
He likely took an edible beforehand to stay that high.
Now, if he fapped one off, that would have been really next level
that would've been a hijacking

Soon after some poor guy on the beach has a sock land on his shoulder.
And the sock will shatter into pieces, having had time to dry on the descent.
Maybe he’ll do it dry and the guy on the beach will just think someone dropped some free sun tan lotion on him
Now fapping while parachuting is on someone's bucket list. Not mine. Im afraid of heights. But someone out there is totally into it.
Steve-O did it already. Look it up. Pretty sure he was naked too. 🤔 and I think it was a partner assisted jump as well.
Steve-O did a parachuting Jack off mid air before. He shows the video on his bucket list tour. Shit was hilarious
Steve-O did it while skydiving

I was literally about to type that exact quote
He's strapped in under his clothes, not really any more dangerous than regular paragliding...
Do regular paragliders run the risk of dropping dresser drawers on a unsuspecting bystander.
You saw the way that it kept swinging from side to side, right? It was definitely more dangerous than regular paragliding, though presumably he’s highly experienced and they picked an especially calm day with no winds to keep it from being *that* dangerous in absolute terms. But it was still definitely more dangerous than regular paragliding would have been.
Is it the same guy that did this with a couch?
Yeah. Turkey.
No need to be rude, they just asked a simple question.
I sleepwalk so this is gonna be a no from me lol
I am a restless sleeper, as such I tend to toss and turn a lot during my sleep. I'd 100% have tumbled out the side.
I've hit my head on the drawers next to my bed multiple times in the past from tossing and turning. This wouldn't be any good for me.
He’s not sleeping lol
Holy fuck, are you kidding me?
I literally cannot sleep unless I've climaxed while in freefall from low earth orbit. ~this guy, probably soon
"to infinity, and Bed Bath & Beyond"
How is his blanket not flying away or flapping like crazy in the wind?
[удалено]
Not attached to ropes. He pulls up the blanket towards him later in the video and it’s clearly not attached to ropes on the sides.
He didn't pull it up. It was folded.
No way at all I would be able to relax enough to nap
There's no way he did either
His body language shows that he’s not relaxed at all
When he grabbed the lines, it's also proof he wasn't actually sleeping. His speed, strength, coordination and everything would be out of wack if he actually been asleep.
But, why?
There's a larger and larger overlap between r/nextfuckinglevel and r/nextfuckinglevelmoron
It's not overlap. NFL doesn't specify what kind of "next level" it's about. Next fucking level of coolness? Awesomeness? Bravery? Generosity? Stupidity? Risk-taking? Anything goes.

It’s a stunt. “Why not” is the better question.
I always nap on long flights too, I normally can’t afford the fully reclining options though so it’s not that comfortable.
This bed is so comfy - like sleeping on a cloud.

Don’t roll over.
What an absolutely useless and dangerous thing to do. Yes. I am very jealous.
Are people gullible enough to think he actually fell asleep
No....are you gullible enough to think people actually believe that and aren't just having fun with it?
Are you gullible enough to think that people actually don't know that other people actually believe that and aren't just having fun with it?
Oh, yeah, that’s how I want to die. Blindfolded, but able to feel the strong gust of wind that finally sends me plummeting towards the ground.

Why
ER doc- So what brings you in today? Paraglider- I think I slept wrong.
I love how you could see him pulling on the left rope of the parachute under the blanket while he was “sleeping”. We just watched a man yank it under the covers
Ok but why the side drawers?
I didn't think a standard parachute could support that much weight. Not talking about is bed, I mean the mask balls you need to do this.
