Is this the dumbest TV stunt ever?

[Doc]

If he misses the net, I hope he gives a thumbs up as he's going to the ground. Would be funny.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

It's only cool if he live tweets the entire experience.

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Not on TV but this ranks up there for stupidity

This has to be the dumbest stunt every attempted, but I will watch.

 

[xboxfever]

They will have probably a 10 second delay in case he misses. That way they can cut before his death is shown on t.v.

 

[CyArob]

Faker than the moon landing

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Remember the scene in the Resident Evil where the guy gets diced into cube meat pieces? That's how I picture it going.

 

[Clone2Dbone]

And for that reason, it will be great TV. I'm gonna make a reaaalyy bold prediction here . . . whichever way it ends, it will be all over the media.

It will be all over the media either way, but he may end up all over one acre. Actually these guys are really good at using their bodies to direct themselves to a specific spot. Having said that, NO THANK YOU, I wish him the best of luck.

Goodness gracious, why would the guy use such a strong net?

Probably the same reason he thinks it's a good idea to jump out of a plane with no parachute.

There. That's more accurate now

One of my guilty pleasure movies. Alice rules.

 

[ExCyment]

He has a four year old son. Stupid, definitely won't be watching.

 

[Tailg8er]

I'll definitely tune in. I'd even wager that he pulls it off with no major injuries.

 

[Farnsworth]

Is he going to wear a wingsuit?

 

[srjclone]

Is he going to wear a wingsuit?

He is not. Not wearing anything, and from what I can tell, he won't have a "just in case" parachute nearby while in the air that someone could hand him.

 

[Clonehomer]

So this is an episode of Naked and Afraid?

 

[TXCyclones]

Can we just give him the Darwin Award now, before he jumps, and call it good?

 

[clonehenge]

Unless this stunt includes a rocket being shot across the Snake River Canyon it'll never top the list.

R.I.P. Evel

Interestingly enough, I heard the other day that there's a Hollywood stuntman that's going to attempt jumping the Snake River in rocket just like Evel's. Supposed to try it sometime in September.
