We were at the Page AZ airport today leaving to head home and they had the production there setting up. I was blown away at how many people they had there. The equipment was amazing, for sure a big production. All the balloons were in the hangar ready to go. They had a few remote cameras set up around the page area all with uplink vans. Again it’s a big production.

What’s the big deal? Didn’t some redneck do this with a lawn chair and a BB gun?

Why would you launch without a parachute only to put it on during the climb so you can jump later. I don’t get that.

Not sure what’s better, the real deal or the spoof.

Blaine is a great entertainer who will blow your mind with some of his work. He's the real deal.

Whole situation is theater of the absurd.

1) Putting on a parachute while suspended by a harness is 10% harder than doing it on the ground.

2) David Blaine in the throes of hypoxia having a classic "No bro, I'm totally cool to drive" conversation with his poor ops lead.

3) Altimeters on different wrists with AGL and MSL readings, switching wrists, David barely understanding the difference between the two, then being referred to by wrist instead of AGL and MSL.

4) Still-quit-hypoxic David thinking it's a good idea to pick a new LZ from FL 220.

Can't wait to see what comes next...an uneventful parachute ride down? Where do I go to get a refund on my time?

These parodies are HILARIOUS. Part 2 is quite good as well.

the whole thing was a yawn for me, at first i suspected the arm was fake, but then there was no exaggeration to difficulty to putting the chute on

in his shoes, i would have pre-coordinated with everyone that we would hit a higher than advertised ceiling, i would give the indication that this was not planned and it was an emergency, i would also sow seeds of doubt that the parachute was fully rigged, maybe complain about a latch not securing or only having leg harnesses attached

the list goes on, instead, it was routine, by the book, and full of private-pilot level knowledge of airspace and aeromedical factors
