But, how’d the jetski fair?

Go easy on him...apparently no one was aware of them prior to his endeavor. He enlightened all of us.

Ironically, the jet ski floated down gently on a parachute.

flip the pic over and it looks like he fell off a glacier.

Apropos.
Primus sux.
Brain ftw!
(sorry, Herb).

Nobody goes over in a barrel anymore.

I've been served drinks by a guy who has gone over 2x in a barrel and done all manner of other crazy shit.  Nice guy and great oysters there.

Niagara falls is awesome to see in person..
Not so awesome that I'd want to go over them though.

because the vast majority of people didn't take physics in HS or college and simply do not understand force and energy

it really is that simple.

Now I don’t know jack shit about parachutes and their proper usage. However I would think making sure the motherfucker was secured to your person prior to attempting to use it would be a priority.

I didn't take physics and I know I would probably die.  So education probably isnt the reason.

I used to kayak a lot - abet I never had any desire to do class V, and I only did class IV at safer levels (abet how they define classes depends on the system used).  Height however is not really a factor in either of the 2 systems.  Danger or difficulty is.

The largest falls I have done were 26' (El Salto in Mexico).  But they were easy.  There was only one even semi dangerous thing about them - your paddle.  You kind of had 2 options - javelin your paddle before/as you were going over (give it a good throw so it was out of the way), or tuck it in tight.  Our group was taking our time, so we let a group that was in a hurry run through while we were there.  One guy did not know his options, and kept his paddle across his body - his body broke the paddle in 2, that had to hurt.  The thing about that particular fall is the water came off the top ledge in a crease and it was literally being poured into the pool of water below.  As you went over the edge, you were sucked into that crease, completely enveloping you in the literal river of water being poured in a stream over it.  You never really felt hitting the pool below - you were completely surrounded and protected by the stream as it broke the surface of the pool.  Unfortunately the blades of the paddle were outside that stream.  They hit the surface of the pool and stopped.  The stream of water returned back to the surface about 10' downstream (in the pool) from it's entry point.  So you just bobbed up safely.  I have pictures of it - but they are very unimpressive, as you are underwater as you were falling - just a discolored blur.

I also did a 23' foot (2nd largest fall at the Cascadas de Micas in Mexico.  The flow was spread out over too large of area.  Even though the fall was into a large deep pool (or at least it was at that time), you hit the surface of the water fairly hard.  It wanted to knock the wind out of you.  I don't know if I have pictures of that one.  But that fall is kind of special - seems like 1/2 the Mexican Restaurants in Texas have pictures of it hanging on the wall.  Picture of random kayaker doing it.  While there are rocks at the bottom, not that the main flow of water does not really hit them.  You can (and do) stand on the ledge and make sure you are not going over in the wrong spot.  One other disclaimer - river flow makes a huge difference.  There are times it is deadly.  Many of the restaurant pictures are at much higher flow than this - you can not see any rocks or fern.

And he darn near lost a four hundred dollar jet ski.

I can vouch for this; BOTD isn’t what you seek.

Jesus Christ, Robert!

Some sites are for guns, some for titties. If you need a titty fix, go to a site that features them. Better yet, go outside and and pay someone to show them to you. This is about an event that happens somewhat regularly at a historic landmark.
If you really need a titty fix perhaps the mods here can make a sub forum where you can go to look. Oh wait.

"Lord, forgive me for all I've done."

Boooooooooyaaaaaaaaaaah!

Quality vs Quantity ratio leaves much to be desired.

RTFA.   He was attempting a stunt that went wrong.  

Go look at some porn if you need to see boobs.

From what I remember, you're pretty safe as long as you go into things like the MILF thread or the dedicated Boobie thread.

The real Danger Zone is if you venture into the "Post Your Significant Other" thread.

Or, should I say "Significant Udder?"

This why low-head dams are dangerous. That hydraulic aint nothing to fuck with. People will throw basketballs in the spillway and they'll get caught in the hydraulic.

Shit, Yorkville had the Army Corps of Engineers redesign their dam. Folks kept getting killed in the spillway.

Little known fact.  This incident was the basis of the motorcycle over a cliff and parachute deployment in the now showing Tom Cruise movie.

Travis Pastrana almost eats it (1:56)

I wouldn’t do it, but a surprising amount of people have done it, and lived.   In Spite of physics and common sense.

I am guessing that this was not an authorized jump? If so, it is hard for me to feel sorry for someone that will do something like that and expect rescuers to put their lives on the line just so they can get their little minute of fame. If they want to do it, make it to where they have their own people waiting at the bottom of the falls to pull them out of the water.

It's more like a "I'm OUT!" meme.
