That's not a parachute jumper, that's a motorized parasailer

Interesting choice of Drop Zone. I wonder where the dumbass thinks he's going to land, as there's not many spots in Kuala Lampur not covered with very hard concrete objects.

That's not a parachute, that's a giant banana. I feel sorry for whoever that lands on, but atleast it will feed the homeless for a few months

i've seen people jump off the twin towers for a new years celebration. amused is right, though, that guy is too far away from the buildings to have jumped off one. too high up too. and i think you can see the fan, just barely.

I believe the term for what this isn't, however, is BASE jumping, not parachute jumping. :)

Of course I'm right. Click on the pic in Bluga's link and it takes you to the source page. That page is a page about... MOTORIZED PARASAILING. Or as they call it, PARAMOTORING (as one can see at the top of the page).
