slightly edgy tag for the image (try saving it!!).
have changed it on my hard drive to the hand of god.jpg laughs.
am assuming this plonker tried to float past and got it badly wrong. can’t imagine that going smack into the statue would have been a good thing? and if he’s a base jumper he’s clearly very good at climbing and very bad at planning his jump!
My guess is that he’s base-jumping, not just caught or hanging. (note the lack of tension in the ropes from his shoulders, and the main parachute is still packed together).
The distance between the arm and the ground isn’t great enough for the parachute to open fully without help, so he’s hooked the drone onto the statue to make sure it catches the air as soon as possible, with hopefully some sort of tension-release system :)
Great photo though, good way to show the scale of the statue! :)
By the way, the guy MADE IT – the photo only makes it look like he is stuck. He threw his “pilot chute” the second he jumped, as the hand is only 100 feet up. Ask any skydiver… (like me)
heh ..you said veal and i instantly thought of that south park episode. serves you right for eating cute baby cows. :P
p.s. get well!

“Mmmmm, that one looks delicious!”
From the new new testament: “He ascended from the heavens and was parachuted onto the right hand of god…”
Man… Jesus HATES that guy! That or He wanted to put on a puppet show, but isn’t He metaphorically doing that already?
I thought JC was making a right turn on his Razor scooter.
In Mother Russia, veal eat you!

It’s real. I don’t think he’s stuck, I think the lines attaching him to the statue are whats opening the chute.
I rule at google.
i’m pretty sure he jumped from a helicopter and went to swing around the front of th statue to put on a show when he got stuck.
How about posting something that ISN’T SEVEN YEARS OLD! Geez…
