Properly bonkers effort, amazing he could even try it, even more amazing he survived. 18 mins in is the jump, gets a bit grim at the end. Different times.

Different times indeed, in so many ways. Fair play to the emergency services for their response and not just chucking throwing the plonker over the edge.

Blimey glad he only got his maths wrong for the landing.

I'm not watching 35 minutes of wobbly hand held camera - what time does something happen?

For those of a more nervous and/or less patient disposition this is probably more like it. Flares too!

I opened this thread thinking it was John Taylor off this forum, disappointing.
