Man Trying To Do A Handstand While BASE Jumping Fails, Obviously

You would think BASE jumping (the sport of jumping off a low building or cliff with a parachute) is dangerous enough, wouldn’t you?

Well this guy didn’t, so decided to do a handstand before leaping from a bridge in front of an expectant audience.

Naturally, it doesn’t exactly go as planned.

After struggling to get up onto his hands, the gormless daredevil looses his footing (handing?) and tumbles off his ledge down into the ravine below, opening his parachute with seconds to spare.

Don’t worry, commenters on YouTube revealed the man in the video is fine, although his wife was reportedly fairly angry with him.
