Is this the dumbest TV stunt ever?

[srjclone]

Man plans to jump out of a plane at 25,000 feet, without a parachute. He will try to land on a 40 yard big net, that is 20 stories high. Completely Moronic, Great TV, or both?

Awesome

I have a feeling this isn't going to end well for him or his family.

 

[DeereClone]

The perfect combination of dumb and awesome.

The perfect combination of dumb and awesome.

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.

Better him than me

I wonder what the guy's payout is.

 

[DeereClone]

So the net is 20 stories high...any way they can rig up something below that to stop him in an emergency situation?

I read it and literally shrugged my shoulders. So, I'm in the "no thanks" category.

Hope he's an organ donor.

Hope he's an organ donor.

It probably won't matter

It probably won't matter

Unless the organ is specks of blood and hair and other non-identifiable matter! Then it would just be sausage though.

Great, now I'm hungry.

I'm expecting a more spectacular version of this:

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

Prediction: He lands on the net as planned then the net bounces him back off and he falls 20 stories to his death. And...cut to commercial.

Is it bad that I want to use the new "Optimistic" button on your post?

Yes. It has been there for years. The ground.
