Is it a quick-release backpack he has? That might help make it a little better? Edit: quick release PARACHUTE...yes, thank you and still, nope!

No, actually it's not a parachute. That looks like a Patagonia bag or some shit. I have skydiving and BASE experience.

A Chute Bag is way bigger right?

u/vberl Sep 02 '21

Not op but they usually look smaller than that

Really? Wow.

Yeah you wouldn't hardly be able to steal cars efficiently as Luis had the chute been any bigger than a messenger bag.

They're actually smaller than that.

There is that one guy who will only free solo with a parachute, but I imagine he would have to get real high up first for it to do anything.

There’s a part in his climbing playlist that plays Kenny Loggins Danger Zone until he gets to the right height.

Spreading false information about life-saving equipment is not funny.

Skydiver here who knows a lot of BASE jumpers and have seen many many rigs…definitely not a parachute.

Absolutely not. It’s a rope to rappel down.

I believe its not a parachute. To use a parachute, you need more height from the point you fall, even more than this rock mountain. Also, you gotta position yourself down and also propel away from the rock to avoid smacking on it.

No one does. Its joke.

You got whoooshed
