Risky Red Bull Plane Stunt Goes Wrong

- Red Bull is famous for extreme stunts. In this risky 'plane swap' stunt, two pilots were supposed to swap planes mid-air. Unfortunately, only one pilot was succesful while the other aircraft crashed. Both pilots are safe.

Red bull gives you wings,
the FAA takes them away.
Exactly.
🟡 Two extremely lousy pilots. Period. Okay, they messed it up because they did it for the clicks and a couple of thousand bucks. And that's the reason why they are lousy pilots. They are totally unprofessional. The two hot shots are proud enough to show us how stupid the are (sorry, guys) : BFD. And why the .... would you do something like that, jumping out of a perfectly working airplane? Are you bored oder just ... slow? IMHO you guys are lousy "pilots", indeed. Oh, and the lousy excuses at the end of the clip... priceless.... jeezzzzz. Amateurs.
Greets from the left seat, sunshines. I'm not jumping, because I can.
Wish I'd thought of this. Couldn't say it better.
A swift kick in the Jacobs eh?
LMAO!!! That was the best B Pace !
When I saw how close he got to the propeller, my heart almost stopped.😱
My thoughts too. Hamburger from the sky would have launched a lot of memes.
I think that was the biggest risk involved in thid stunt
I know when it missed my heart almost stopped, to bad.
Why not design the stunt to stall the prop to prevent the injury? Weird call especially in a plane where you can recover the airspeed.huh.
@@JeanLaValley oh i remember now. they have to maintain a pretty quick fall speed so the divers even have a chance. the plane was way more surface area so it’ll fall slower unless it’s literally powering toward the earth.
Walking up to a helicopter with an unsecured chute. Absolutely a genius stunt.
Oh come on, cheap shot, he had the chute secured in his arms. But that would be pretty rad to see what happens. Next stunt..
I don't know anything about skydiving, parachutes or helicopters, so I may not be aware of some important factors here- but to me it seems like the propellers (don't even know if that's what they're called on helicopters) would be continually blowing everything downward onto the ground. Wouldn't that negate any real risk of it sucking up the chute?
@@4Shaman20 vortex’s get created when your on the ground rotating with no lift. When the add power the force hits the ground and out lifting the helicopter. But when it’s just on the ground it’s just not good practice
Too close to the hamburger pump for sure.
@@4Shaman20 the risk is more getting blown away from the helicopter and dragged by the chute, if the chute catch the wind. It looked like he put his wing in a bag before getting close to the helicopter.
These two pilots have just been grounded by the FAA. "RedBull takes your wings"
Permanently, or for a period of time?
They alr back was a 1yr suspension i believe@@houseofsolomon2440
@@houseofsolomon2440 Their license was revoked in May of 2022 for 1 year. They are both back flying now.
@@JasonParham83 ☑️
@@JasonParham83technically when a license is revoked, it’s revoked permanently. You have to earn it back, and it’s a mandatory 1 year wait before you can reapply.
Holy smokes, see how close that guy comes to the prop as he gets back in?
Something not enough people are talking about. Losing his grip on the wing spar, even just a little too much momentum could have carried him forward into the spinning propellor, and this would have been a much more tragic occurrence.
One key safety implement that should have been in this stunt is a prop brake to completely nullify the chance of making contact with a spinning propellor
Not close enough
Yeah, that was scary. He obviously had a LOT of confidence in his free-fall "flying abilities".
Same concern here. I know Red Bull stints are supposed to badass and stuff, but the proximity to the prop just seemed a bit stupid.
Bunch of fear mongering ❄️’s. You can say that about literally anything. One wrong move in a drifting stunt for a movie, shooting a gun, riding a bike lmao. The point of the stunt is to swap planes mid air did u not understand that? How is he going to do that without getting near the propellor or plane?
This suggests a new way for airlines to handle passengers who become disruptive mid flight: offer them a different flight, or a safe return to the ground, all without having to divert the plane they are on from its scheduled destination.
They'd probably die first from hypoxia and/or hypothermia if the airplane is at cruising altitude
@@cleytongaucho3596 I'm sure a partial refund could be arranged in that event.
Lol!
@@Reach41 This dude commenting towards you like you were serious cracks me up
i really dont know why planes doesnt have parachutes in case of technical failture...
"Red Bull pilot chopped in half by propeller while attempting dumass stunt"
I was curious how they were gonna keep the prop from windmilling and how they were gonna make sure to stay out of it. Looks like neither problem occurred to them, as close as he came to getting shredded. He was dead level with the prop, moving towards it very fast IN THE AIR, before he dropped back and grabbed the spar. Heck, I do some stupid stuff, but I wouldn't run straight toward that prop ON THE GROUND.
I thought the same also. Did they account for the prop still spinning.
There's a new medal being given to some people: "Trevor Jacobs price for blatant disregard to safety by voluntary crash". Medal comes with a revoked license.
I saw that spinning propellor and thought that was the stuff of nightmares right there, wildly windmilling in the breeze and he come close to the thing.
its pretty terrifying, sure. but lets not pretend they were stupid enough for that risk never to have occured to them, they had planned this for a long time. also, with good free falling skills of which they had, they could avoid it pretty easily. its not like its going to suck them in.
@@socks2441 Especially with the open doors of the plane trying to suck them back in, I guess.
BlancoLerio says that they did not have FAA permission, and in fact did this after having permission expressly denied. If true, these guys are going to be taking a long vacation from flying anything.
Karen's everywhere rejoice!
@@kinvert he's not wrong tho. This is incredibly dangerous.
Madlads
They won't take a vacation from flying anything. If they disregarded the FAA in illegally doing this reckless stunt, the loss of their licenses will never keep them from flying. Some people just believe the rules don't apply to them.
No they won't. You think that just because they willfully disregarded the FAA this once that they won't do it again? I suppose you stand for gun confiscation too.
Man if only Trevor Jacob had one of those parachutes on his plane
@FROY LÁN the guy that faked an engine out and jumped out of his plane with a parachute and let it crash
That would have prevented him getting video of the plane crashing.
@@phlodel ya the "accident" wouldnt have looked like an accident if he did that lol
He didnt give a fuck about that plane. Negligent
Would not have mattered, he still would not have a pilots licence. Most likely these guys won’t have one much longer either.
I heard about this on our local radio station. They said both of these guys lost their licenses over this stunt.
They got off easy it seems.
They could apply for reinstatement one year after the license revocation date. Luke Aikins, the lead pilot was also fined $4,932. He didn't bother to tell the team that the FAA said the stunt could happen only with an FAA exemption, which was later denied, but Aikins thought it was a good idea to do it anyway.
They should be able to do this if it was a free country
@@elliotkeitges8165what if the planes crash and kill innocent people on the ground? Freedom doesn't mean being able to do whatever you want to do. Doing things that can hurt others impinges on those peoples right to live a safe life in pursuit of happiness.
@@cremebrulee4759 Arguing using extreme circumstances is not a valid point. Try again.
Yeah lets cut off the part right as the plane is about to smash into the ground.. brilliant camera work there.. absolutely brilliant!
Trevor Jacob approves of this stunt!
🤣😂
And…. Two more pilots lost their license.
Good!
don't think so, babe.
@@franzinelli-2000 FAA revoked both of them yesterday.
@@james-p as it should be.
@@james-p You mean they expect you to stay in the aircraft you're piloting? What a bunch of mother hens.
Just like any Drunk driver "The rules are not for me"
Man more stunts like this are going to make it harder for private pilots in general!
Don't even get me started. S--t like this is going to make 1500 hours the minimum for a PPL.
Why would it ?
@@ryanpayne7707tf
it seems like redbull is trying to make it seem like it was no big deal because the other plane "landed with the parachute" but notice how they cut it and don't show any pictures? it's because it smashed into the ground prop first destroying the other plane, not damaging it. definitely one of the sketchiest stunts they've done
Love his reply "I guess that's important" after he says "we're all safe"😳
He was very disappointed and embarrassed that he didn't make his swap. Even tho everyone was encouraging and telling him that everyone is safe so all is good. He didn't see it that way. He would have been stoked if he made his swap like the other pilot did so I think that his ego was shot.
I remember when people would just watch in awe as people do crazy stunts like this. Now it’s a bunch of people commenting “what a bunch of idiots, this is dangerous!”. Like, yea, that’s the point. They are putting on a show. It’s not like they didn’t map out the area and plan this all out. I agree, they should have waited for FAA approval, but they still performed an insane stunt!
It wasn't an issue of waiting for approval, the FAA explicitly denied approval for the stunt.
@@jaffacalling53 They could have probably made tweaks until it got accepted, but they couldn't bother because who cares what the fun-killers say
@@DemsW This but unironically
@@DemsW The FAA's reason for refusing permission was that leaving the planes unoccupied would unduly affec the safety of the flights. The only way I can see them giving permission would be if each plane had a second pilot who remained in the cockpit, but I doubt they'd be interested in doing that version of the stunt.
2:14 Now, THAT'S a walk of shame.
This ends the same as Trevor Jacobs case for both of them.
Maybe. But there's one glaring difference between This stunt and Jacobs' stunt - - Jacobs took off knowing that the flight would end in a plane crash. These guys didn't.
@@Kara0ki they knew the probability was high. That's why faa denied them.
We can only hope so.
@@Kara0ki not really. They and everyone knew the risk was high for crashing. That changes nothing.
I saw a report claiming that the FAA refused permission for the stunt. Without a permit, how are they different from the pilot whose license and certifications were just revoked for parachuting out of a plane whose engine had quit? At some point folks should stop "accidentally" breaking things for views and clicks.
Truth... And they aren't any different. I suspect these two will get the same punishment as Trevor Jacobs.
Well... maybe because of the distinction of not crashing the plane intentionally?
If it's true that this stunt was specifically denied, then yeah. Their pilots licenses will be going away forever, no doubt about it. At the least. I feel like they are trying to get by with being official and having safety coordinators and all of that stuff. But the FAA will bring down the hammer on them because of all this recent plane jumping stuff.
@@radeklukas With aggravated distinction of having formally asked for FAA permission for doing the stunt and having had it explicitly denied by the FAA, and just... disregarding the denial completely, doing it anyway. Like Trevor Jacobs, those two pilots will also likely lose their licenses.
The difference is that the other guy did it without notifying the FAA and then tried to play it off as an accident were as these guys were denied by the FAA and did it anyway.
These people seem super smart and are obviously spending their time, money and lives very wisely.
Sarcasm isn't dead.
Me at the start, "This should be pretty cool."
Me @1:30 looking at the exposed prop. "Nope. Sh!t. This is an awful idea."
It’s bizarre. Red Bull doesn’t even taste nice. Why do we let them spoil every adventure sport?
They are for sure not spoiling anything. They are living life why dont u do the same? Many people like how it tastes. And redbull pays athletes really well and hasgiven opportunity to sooooo many athletes its actually crazy u think they spoil anything ehen they are bringing new people into every sport they mess with. Redbull has done more for action sports then possibly any other company . Supporting redbull is supporting athletes. If ur against what they do then you are against athletes getting paid lol
Put some respect on their name they have changed sports for the better. And many things that arent sportd. World records. They fund all these guys wildest childhood dreams. They are one of the greatest companies out there
"The plane was damaged". Ah yep!
I kinda think that's like saying "The Titanic has a bit of water damage"
ANDY IS OK…THE OTHER PLANE?…. “IT’S NOT”
the biggest risks in this was either a uncontrolled collision with the plane or getting ripped up by the prop
I fly through the Eloy area quite often. It's not restricted airspace and there are a lot of flight school training aircraft in this area seven days a week. It's tough enough to watch for all the planes flying horizontally let alone people and things falling vertically in this airspace though the jump planes do announce when a jump is in progress. Also despite what has been written about the area being remote, this area has several ranches, farms, a prison, and a few subdivisions near the Eloy airport. Sadly, just like the very stupid Trevor Jacob debacle, this stunt did nothing positive for the future of General Aviation.
And the FAA denied them the permit, guess they did it anyway
Yes. And they did the stunt south of Eloy near Sawtooth, a private airstrip. Quite unsafe since most of the time we avoid overflying Eloy due to skydiving operations by remaining west of the I10, except this time planes and jumpers are falling out of the sky west of the 10 and we don't even know about it. Very unsafe
@@ndegepilot
Being the corporation that Red Bull is, they should've done this in some corner of Dubai or out in the Australian outback or something. They're morons for bringing this kind of heat on themselves. Stupid stunt for likes and shares, thanks for putting another stain on general aviation, Red Bull.
Curious why Red Bull isn’t liable as the corporate sponsor for a clearly illegal activity (per the FAA denial letter). Don’t know how they can pay for the event, get all the publicity yet not suffer any legal consequences…
They had spotters to confirm sterile airspace, and it was a severe clear VFR day. The planes were down in less than 1 minute. The planes had automatically deploying safety parachutes. The pilots had parachutes. The planes had tons of engineering done on their chute systems and speedbrakes. Tons of money and planning went into making this happen, money that supported the American economy. I have no doubts that their safety plan passed the insurance underwriters scrutiny. The FAA had no place to block this while any fool can fly up to 17,500' in a paramotor without a single lesson or understanding of airspace.
And they both just probably lost their tickets.
Note to other pilots and stuntmen: Stunts like this should ALWAYS be performed where the Sacramento FSDO has jurisdiction. They don’t care, and they won’t care. You don’t even need a medical to commercially fly in Sacramento. You don’t even need an operating certificate to operate. The Sacramento FAA won’t investigate, they won’t follow through. In fact, if this stunt was performed in Sacramento FAA jurisdiction, they wouldn’t even leave the office.
Sounds like a great place for pilots with diabetes.
It’s too dangerous to leave the office.
Salty?
Sounds like I never want to fly anywhere near Sacramento jurisdiction. But hey, it's crapifornia, so what would you expect?
@@illiniwood or who took the magic jabs.
That was total insanity! Imagine skydiving toward an airplane with a spinning propeller!
Still made history. Dude took off one plane jumped out and landed the other in another one
Grammar lost in all the excitement . . .
One took the other guy Glory. I'll be pisst
History? Stupid publicity stunt history. Who cares that you can switch planes with 50% success rate?
There’s making history and then there’s making meaningless history. This stunt was the latter. You can jump out of one airplane and into another. Umm, ok cool. I guess we needed to know if it was possible, just in case we were given a special mission or something like that. And since it’s RedBull, they did this to further humanity, because that’s what accomplishing this important stunt will do. Don’t let anybody tell you that you can’t do something without money, free time, and a wild imagination! You too can accomplish something historic.
Darwinism isn’t exactly the history ya wanna be part of. Just saying…
From a former airline pilot
....since the FAA refused their waiver, I'm very curious if enforcement action will be taken.
If so,
if it means license suspension, or even revocation.
As was the just FAA recent decision for the now former pilot who jumped out of a perfectly operational aircraft
He juuust happened to have multiple cameras installed,
juuust happened to post the event on social media,
and lastly,
juuust happened to destroy evidence at the crash site.
Wilful non compliance of the regulations. Pilots should always be bound by rules & regulations in the interest of public safety. I find it incomprehensible how people would consciously disregard regulators for the sake of video likes & channel subscriptions. Especially as mentioned above that the FAA has continually denied the waiver to do this stunt.
My advice to aspiring pilots would be to stick to videos that help you get & most importantly retain your license. No stunt will ever be worth losing your license over. We already have so many possible stumbling blocks that we hurdle to continually practice the privileges of our license.
Burn em
I don’t understand what the big deal is just so long as they were doing this over an unpopulated area, such as but not limited to the middle of the desert. I mean, at the end of the day, it is the life of the two pilots and the two airplanes that they are risking. As long as it is that and only those 4 things being at risk then “no harm no fowl”, as far as I’m concerned.
They won't do shit. These guys are famous and probably made 3/4 million each so far and counting. They might have to pay a 10 thousand dollar fine on a payment plan. If even that.
@@TempoDrift1480 Hmmm...sure hope ur wrong Tempo.
But, be of good cheer.
If there is an action, it will involve their license.
I've never heard of a fine option for a pilot violation.
I love Darwin Award contestants! 8)
Mans walked off like it's another Sunday evening in the city
Since the FAA denied this stunt the updates will be great. Will they ever fly again? Be fined? Jail?
another perfect example of:
just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should
but you can't prove it is possibile if you never try.
It should not be done. I don’t care if they do it. I think they should have the freedom to do it. I think it was stupid. I have no respect for these guys. They are brainless fools…. It was barely interesting
Boy that was dumb. How can they keep using the word “safe”. Sky diving towards an aircraft, with a spinning propeller, a meat 🥩 grinder doesn’t seem “safe” to me. Pushing the endless boundaries of dumb.
If nobody ever pushed boundaries, would we even have airplanes? Men landing on the moon? We should all just hide in our caves and never take risks.
@@stefanf922 people complaining about muh safety are probably the ones who watch g0,re content on the internet. They don't care about safety, they just wanna complain
As for as I can see , the risk is not missing the other plane but drifting straight into the propellers .
As a former skydiver, all I can say is: “WOW…Great balls of steel!” Too many variables/things to go wrong, especially if you’re not a seasoned veteran skydiver like these two…My biggest worry would be accidentally tracking into that turning propeller!! That would make mince 🥩 outta you real quick!! “Blue skies always” fellas!! 🪂
stupidity not balls people not weighing up the dangers. i place these men in the same league as Stockton Rush . strange how we see nothing of what should have been shown its been edited maybe it looked far worse as we see nothing of the other skydiver attempt let alone the other 1 almost becoming mincemeat
Is the phrase 'great balls of steel' actually mean 'stupid'?
@@topbanana4013It's not strange at all. The video starts by saying that the full footage is on Hulu -- this is just a trailer to get you interested in paying for the full version.
The fact that they did this in the first place without FAA approval is crazy enough. I don’t foresee these guys keeping their licenses after this
wait, what? they didn't FAA approval? for some reason I thought they did. Do you have a link that says they didn't get approval?
I call BS. Red Bull has entire legal departments especially to keep themselves out of trouble. They’ve been conducting aerial stunts for years all over the world. They would be idiots not to coordinate with the FAA on this single stunt.
@@coreymarshall462 I believe they mentioned that in this video. If not, there are a few others out there about this that addressed the fact that they didn’t have FAA approval to perform this. So even if they successfully accomplished what they set out to do, I think they’d still be under investigation simply cause of the nature of what they were trying to do
It’s okay, the planes had the Red Bull logo on them. So long as you’re reminded of an energy drink, the FAA won’t do anything in retaliation.
@@VictoryAviation yes they have. I’ve seen many of their stunts and they’re awesome to watch. However the FAA denied a request from red bull for an exemption from FAA regulations therefore this particular maneuver wasn’t approved. Hence the investigation
even the guy who made it, almost flew directly into the blades
OMG...I love watching all extreme sports, from the safety of my bed.
But, this is the craziest one I have ever seen...OMG 😳
That prop looked pretty close damn
Shame he missed it.
Bloody fools; this has nothing to do with stunting but with playing with lives; not just the dumb pilots, but also other people on the ground.
Who got hurt, nobody. I enjoyed the video.
This kind of ideas usualy springs to mind in a pub, after midnight ...
Can somebody tell me what is that system under the plane?? Air brake?
Red Bull had my attention with the Promo's for this.... then Kathryn's report posted the FAA Disapproval letters 🤔...... I'm going to predict that both these guys will have a meeting with the FAA at some point ..... and a real nice 182 heads to the junk yard.🤬 "Red Bull" gives you wings ? ...ah maybe not.
Oh no kidding on the disapproval letters?! Have a link?
If that’s the case, Red Bull made an extremely stupid choice to move forward with the stunt. They could have easily conducted it in a different country that didn’t have as strict regulations and accomplished the same results without legal issues.
Does UA-cam not allow posts to contain links? I’ve tried to post it several times and the post keeps getting deleted.
@@VictoryAviation that's what I was thinking, I bet they could've paid Mexico to let them do it and face zero legal repercussions in the end.
Muh safety
That's amazing. Looks like an inverted flat spin. Those big drag brakes probably blanked out the vertical stabilizer! Too bad it's chute didn't come out a little sooner. The really dicey thing is how to guarantee avoiding the spinning propeller?
Didn't look flat to me, just inverted.
It's about the same amount of pitch down you see in a regular spin but inverted.
🟡 Two extremely lousy pilots. Period. Okay, the messed it up because they did it for the clicks and a couple of thousand bucks. And that's the reason why they are lousy pilots. They are totally unprofessional. The two hot shots are proud enough to show us how stupid the are (sorry, guys) : BFD. And why the .... would you do something like that, jumping out of a perfectly working airplane? Are you bored oder just ... slow? IMHO you guys are lousy "pilots", indeed. Oh, and the lousy excuses at the end of the clip... priceless.... jeezzzzz. Amateurs.
Greets from the left seat, sunshines. I'm not jumping, because I can.
Did the chute automatically deploy at a certain altitude?
1:13 you can hear one of them say "Mixture out" - that should have turned the engine off - something went wrong there as well.
The spinning propeller…. Exactly what i was thinking.
Why does the footage only cut in after the parachutes are deployed?
i love when a big guy prevails
Unfortunately boys, that's both your Pilots and 'chutists certs gone.
A brave and very unique stunt, but a bad idea to defy the FAA ruling on this...
Why would they lose their skydive certs?
@@pnwadventurist the USPA (United States parachute association) falls under FAA regulation
Just glad they made it out safely. That's the only thing that truly matters.
Not if they reproduce.
Imagine thinking it's ok to crash an airplane to see if a trick will work.
Why wouldn't it be lol ? If it's done over a safe area with a parachute who cares
@DemsW The environment.
there is no safe area to crash an airplane anything could have gone wrong.
@@djdavisiscool Statistically there was a low risk of any harm being done
who was shooting film?How is the less experieanced guy to gain altitude to get into the higher plane?
Why are they talking about "Are you safe??" The guy just missed getting wacked by the damn propeller. Stupid or what?
They knew the risks more than you ever will, you shouldn't be calling anyone 'stupid'.
Dunno, with the engine running and that prop spinning, I’d call this a meat grinder waiting to happen.
Both pilots had thier Aviation licenses revoked indefinitely.
@2:02 all the footage I've seen still no one shows the plane hit the ground. Why??
They're going to lose their license to fly.
They'll fly again with masks on
Red Bull could be in big trouble with the FAA and maybe never get permission from the FAA for anything ever again.
Red Bull: "The FAA can suck on my giant red balls"
I hope.
Hahaha. Sure. Here's some money. Now shut up. That's how it works.
Bro thinks he’s in mission impossible
Just hope Tom cruise doesn't see this
Did they say the plane was "damaged?"
Really???
🤣
Red Bull has some beautifully restored airplanes and can put on some outstanding shows with them . I’m surprised they allowed something so foolish and reckless to happen . Just lost my respect .
@modest mouse colored person oh I won’t be missed Einstein . I work for a FSDO here in the east. ( that’s the FAA in case you didn’t know) You don’t abandon an airworthy airplane in flight for no reason …. Especially after you were denied a request to pull such a stunt . They were told they could do it but a pilot had to remain in both aircraft the entire time . They would have achieved the same daring effect without jeopardizing the airplanes and people and property on the ground . If they want to kill them self’s , nobody really cares . They just can’t jeopardize the public and their safety . And in case you didn’t know this either …. The first letter in FAA stands for Federal . That’s Federal law dude , those guy are pretty much done !!!
This really was not wreckless at all.... They had a parachutte and were in a desert🤣 The worst that could happen was their plane being destroyed.
@@Milo19970 sounds like a good defense ….. but ain’t gonna work .
@@Milo19970 the worst thing that could have happened is people getting killed.
So does that mean race car drivers should not have a driver's license?
I know the stunt is dangerous but it is pretty gnarly to see it attempted and thank god no one died
Red bull proved that you don't have to be in shape to try to do crazy stuff
One would think if you're going to do a stunt with a plane you would get permission from the agency that literally CONTROLLS THE SKY!
A parachute system for a plane is a million dollar idea.
1. They asked the FAA. Permission denied. 2. Aircraft parachute systems have been successfully deployed in aircraft for nearly a century.

Hahahahaha
Dude, it's over lol
Damn right! Too many whiny pilots kissing FAA ass in this comment section.
😂
This was such a dangerous stunt that they did not even get permission for
The walk of shame was the best part
I actually saw a tiktok from one of these guys, several weeks before the stunts, talking about what they were going to do and how it would work, etc. I remember at the time thinking to myself that there's a good chance something like that could end in disaster but I am glad to hear that no one was hurt and only one plane suffered damage. Could have been much worse or deadly but all their safety precautions paid off and kept them both safe. A bummer to hear about it not working but I'm sure they're looking at doing something soon to make up for this one. They're both amazing pilots and have some giant huevos that's for sure, LOL.
Nope, they are reckless outlaws who should never fly again, they have total disrespect towards any aviation safety rule. They are a disgrace for the aviation community.
You guys screwed up, broke the law, your damn lucky nobody got hurt.
Yes father..
it's obvious that they tried this in a special zone.
Fuck the law
When the guy got on plane it looked like the run through for James bond stunt! All that was needed here was the 007 music!
Sketchy for sure with that prop spinning!
Hope they enjoyed that flight because that will be their last one. Pretty stupid from numerous perspectives, and yes, they did do this after the FAA denied their request. Trevor Jacobs just lost his license for his stunt and hopefully these two are next. I would hope there are some criminal charges that can and will be brought against those involved.
Nothing innovative or remarkable other than bravery and stupidity. These guys are jackasses
Criminal on what basis ? They didn't listen to fun-killer big gov ?
"Something" went wrong? Maybe if Luke trimmed the plane accounting for a CG shift of about 450lbs (plus a box of a dozen donuts he stuffed in his shirt) upon exiting the aircraft it would have been a more stable descent. 🤦
This 182 was out of control the minute he left. It could have flown into anything. If I were FAA these guys would never touch an airplane’s controls. We have to do the opposite of what Red Bull expects with these continuing Aviation stunts. They’re going to get people killed.
Funny how the fat guy actually completed the task at hand
Luke ‘s dozen donuts was put in the other plane before hand…effort was made by Luke to get there!
Redbull. It gives you delusions of grandeur
So...
Trevor Jacobs just got sentenced to prison for jumping out of a good aircraft.
Are these guys above reproach due to the amount of money in the sponsor?
Clearly this stunt was professional and well planned though a safety pilot remaining in each aircraft would probably been a good idea and would most probably have made it legal.
However it is totally unacceptable that a large international company such as Red Bull totally disregarded the federal aviation authority that refused permission for this stunt for their advertising.
Red Bull as well as the pilots must be made to pay a very very heavy price for blatantly disregarding the FAA when alternative plans could have easily been made for carrying out the stunt
I agree with you on this. I guess Red Bull decided the PR was worth it. Sad.
meh FAA is lowesly anyways they let boeing verify thier own planes for god sake.
@@thomasgreen628 sad for the pilots involved because unfortunately they must suffer the consequences and the company that instigated and paid for it will get the publicity they wanted and more without consequences.
@@ecomandurban7183 The pilots themselves thought up and developed this stunt, they even applied themselves for the FAA exemption, nothing sad about it they will get what they deserve.
I've always dreamed of owning an airplane but can never afford it. If you're going to pull a stunt like this and ruin a perfectly good airplane, just give the plane to me!
Pilots license: "Annnnd its gone..."
Could have safely done the stunt with pilots in both planes as backup.
I'd like to see the elevator position while the brake was out. The brake would cause a huge pitch down moment that would be difficult to counteract. I only fly RC planes and could tell you this wouldn't work.
Except it worked on the other one 🤔...
I'm going with malfunction in the HDG hold AP, it isn't designed to work in such a strange attitude.
It works 50% of the time
@@prosperity4444 I have a broken watch that's right twice a day!
Except it does work
Trevor Jacobs got his license revoked . FAA apparently didn’t approve this , so two more to join the jacobs club
Airplane ✈… do I mean 😢 anything to you. LoL 😂
Buddy was headed straight for the prop
Everyone should stop drinking Red Bull until they do this successfully.
I don’t think risky the word I would have chosen to describe that stunt. Damned foolish? Probably.
I thought we learned from Trevor Jacob! This was incredibly reckless, I mean what if he got shredded by the propeller?! That being said, I will admit it did look pretty badass when he climbed into the cockpit to recover the nosediving plane, but still...
What if what if what if what if what if what if we just stopped over thinking and did amazing shit. The guy was willing to die in order to do something nobody has done before, they live and breathe this, it's their passion and the way they wish to live their life. He knew the risks and if we would have died it would have been sad but a risk he signed up for. Government and people alike are way too into protecting people from their own choices these days. Take some risks or why live at all
@@epicpurevids You know what... yeah, I actually totally agree with you!
@@epicpurevids you can thank lawyers for all that shit
@@epicpurevids That's why we aren't actually free. It's just an illusion of being free given to us by governments. I think we should be left the fuck alone.
If they both got shredded by the propeller, it would have raised the IQ of humanity a notch.
Red Bull denied his wings “ more taurine needed”
Red Bull will give you wings, in heaven, my god anyone sponsored by Red Bull are probably sweating
thanks for pushing the boundaries. and keeping things interesting! good luck to you all
Only the boundaries of stupid were pushed.
For us poor people who dream of owning a Cessna 182, that's heartbreaking
They diddnt even get permission for this, I imagine they will be in trouble
@@grandsoleil56 They will lose their license's, probably for good. As they should.
It's amazing what they're trying to do to get attention, wow just wow!
He sounded so disappointed poor guy.
Reminds me of Goldeneye when he drives off the cliff on a bike and jumps into a plane whilst it's falling to the ground
Unapproved by FAA, both will be grounded with huge fines.
This easily could've been a snuff film. Why people need to do such crazy stuff is beyond me.
So apparently jumping into a net without a parachute from 25000 feet wasn’t risky enough, so he decided to try this instead.
Having been a skydiver, and a pilot, all I can say is F#@KING AWESOME! Can't wait to see what's next with you two!
What's next for them is getting their wings clipped. It would have been cool if they had FAA permission. They were told not to and did it anyway.
so with permission it’s cool without it it’s not sounds about right
