You may have seen on the news the article about the skydiver who jumped from 25,000 feet, no parachute!

See here

Was he really brave or slightly mad?

Utterly mad - but thank goodness there are (other) folk brave enough to take on challenges like this and the recent round the world balloon flight and have us watch on in awe! Happy

HappyLike to think there are still some out there that likes to do these stunts.  Remember Douglas Bader, fought in a Spitfire with no legs.  Love it

Do you think he was wearing a parachute?

If he was, I wonder at what point he would have to have decided that things weren't going to plan and that he should deploy it?

Probably at the point when he realised the net he was aiming for was in fact someones Motorhome canopy Laughing

But I think he was brave but knew all the possible pitfalls, such a small target area from 5 miles up and missing it doesn't bare thinking about Surprised a gust of wind, a bout of sneezing.
