    This guy in Turkey changed his couch to a paraglider, added a TV, battery and a lamp to it. Then started eating potato chips, drink beer, and watch a Tom & Jerry episode while flying with NO belt or safety line thousands of feet in the air...
    GO TO 1:28

    This dude has the biggest guts i have ever thought possible.... ONE strong wind or ONE wrong move and he dies.

    Not bad actually. Just opened the window in my room and was doused in a gush of strong southern wind. It always give you a strong pleasant feeling when wind caresses your body. And it’s cool to watch little people running around. Though I prefer lesser degree of risk XD

    Watching that video I thought to myself "what if I was in his place :hmm:?"
    • First, I have Acrophobia so that would be bad for me
    • Second, I would be worried that one of the slippers might fall off leaving one foot bare and that would probably make my Acrophobia worse
    • Third, I will need another cartoon, not just Tom&Jerry, I need something to make me forget about loosing the slippers
    I wonder if anyone else got the same thoughts? and yes that guy is awesome :blobsalute:

    I don't see Tom and Jerry on the TV? I see the still image at the end of the video, but it just looks blank during the flight.

    He turns on the TV on 2:23, the sound is a little hard to distinguish due to the wind, but once he lands, if one has seen tom & jerry episodes, they will recognize the sounds.

    I'm pretty certain it's fake unless selfie sticks are motion stabilized. That high up where there are supposed to be strong winds and a top-heavy selfie stick isn't swaying like a drunk squirrel? Basically, I think he's on top of a green screen with a strong fan blowing from behind the TV.

    I present other proof including:
    - The center of balance is very off. If he were truly in the air, he would be pitching forward because the TV makes the setup front-heavy and the straps are not positioned properly to account for this. I.e. He'd soon be dangling from the TV if physics were realistic.
    - The lighting direction on the selfie stick is very weird.
    - If you consider how cameras work, the distant background should not have the same clarity as the dude sitting on the couch. Camera focus doesn't work that way.
    - When he lands, the people in the background aren't paying attention? I know I'd be running over to have a closer look...

    It's fun to watch, but it's movie magic more than some guy taking para-flying to the next level. I.e. he was in no danger whatsoever.

    Your link is light on the specifics. I'm pretty certain they just saw the video and wrote a story without fact checking it.

    I'd like to request those supposed videos of the others filming him because, again, something seems screwy with the physics. Unless he's flying by magic?
