   Video link thanks to [1]Ace - a guy gets [2]slingshotted up into the
   air, then parachutes down.

   It's not clear how risky this is. Parachuting isn't as dangerous as it
   looks, unless you're jumping below 2,000 ft.

   How far up did he go? If he went over at 1,000 ft, it's probably less
   dangerous than [3]BASE jumping.

   But BASE jumping is insane..
