And now, skydivers landing on Slip ‘n Slides

What do you do when the thrill of skydiving has worn off? This, apparently.

It’s real simple: you jump at half the height of a normal skydive, immediately pull your chute, then cruise to a spot where you do a nearly pinpoint landing on a Slip ‘n Slide. Simple enough, right?

We have to be really careful, now, because skydivers are getting bored. THEY’RE GETTING BORED WITH SKYDIVING. We’re like 12 months away from SURPRISE SKYDIVE PIGGYBACK RIDES or PEOPLE PARACHUTING IN FRONT OF YOU TO CHALLENGE YOU TO AN IMPROMPTU BREAKDANCE COMPETITION.

What I’m saying is, be careful out there, non-skydivers.
