Was under the mistaken impression this was a Penguin video:

Love the "bank angle" warning at the end.  Nice touch.

I was waiting for a water impact, not rock.

I'm fucking dying here.  That was sad and absolutely gut wrenching hilarious at the same time

Nope.. that's how they do it.  They are arctic Barnacle geese.  They nest high in the rocks and the chick's have to jump to get to the water.

I think that is from a documentary about some other bird and this is how they leave the nest.

Very few die from the fall, most just bounce and walk it off.

Seems it is one of Attenborough's films, IIRC

ETA: @johnh57 got it....

Must have been a Boeing. Airbus planes yell “retard, retard” near landing.

That's pretty awesome.  The 1st poor chick got a 2nd flight but probably didn't like the seating arrangement.
