Re: Video of Stuntman Jim Bailey Hanging by a Thread

For being a stuntman, he has had relatively low endurance -- I mean, too weak in his arms. Only able holding himself for about 5 secs, or even less... Okay, that being said IDK how long I would be able holding out in a situation like this, that is...

A bit more info about him. And you can see why we don't hear him screaming all of the way to the ground - his mic was connected via a cable to the plane. <****** width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XgNchN52wGU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></******>

Yes i was thinking the same thing, never even tried to wrap himself round the wheel support, but even if he did, his only chance of survival, was to get the pilot to go low over a stretch of water, and hope for the best, when he let go...

What a fucking pansy. Even I can hold on to a bar for a good minute, swinging hard, before my arms get tired. And why didn't he at least have fucking straps from his wrists around the axle just in case he did lose his grip? Oh well. Another moron, dead.

Re: Video of Stuntman Jim Bailey Hanging by a Thread

No offense, but that statement is completely wrong. Even an aluminum carabiner could have held him easily under those conditions, let alone a steel one. Whatever failed, it wasn't a climbing carabiner.
Whatever it was that gave way, it was made of very mild metal.

You can watch it bend out of shape.

Re: Video of Stuntman Jim Bailey Hanging by a Thread

I wounder if the pilot knew right away?
i'm assuming he was linked up to a mic, you can hear the engine cut as soon as he hear him scream... he probably felt the weight of the light aircraft shift as well..
