Well, it’s a base jump, and he is one of _the_ base jumpers in the world.
Also, this is not an original picture, it was clearly processed, because he jumped from th arm of the statue, not the hand.
Clara – just read some background before you make up your mind about something. This actually was a big win, because it earned him the world record for lowest base jump. http://www.felixbaumgartner.com/site/index.html -> about felix -> about felix

É do Cristo Redentor, uma das 7 novas maravilhas do mundo, fica no Rio de Janeiro. A foto é “falsa”, o cara estava pulando e a foto foi tirada no momento do pulo, ele não ficou preso!

It’s Cristo Redentor, one of the 7 new wonders of the world, is in Rio de Janeiro. The photo is “fake”, the guy was leaping and the picture was taken at the leap, he was not suspended!
I’m probably going to Hell for this (not like there aren’t a bunch of other reasons), but the first caption idea that came to mind: “Who’s your Saviour? Whooo’s your Saviour? Tell me you love me. Now quack like a duck! Louder! I can’t hear you! Who’s the good duckie? You are!”
a kid is constantly poking a girl in the back during sunday school one day. the teacher asks these questions, and she replies ironically.
teacher: who is the best?
girl (boy pokes her): oh my God!
teacher: who’s your Savior?
girl (boy pokes her): Jesus Christ!
teacher: what did eve say to adam after they’d had 28 children?
girl (boy pokes her especially hard in the back): if you stick that in me one more time, i’ll break it in half!
I remember the parafailing incident in which a paraglider attempted to land on the Statue of Liberty’s torch, or on Liberty Island, and got his paraglider stuck on Lady Liberty’s torch. CLASSIC!
You you should edit the blog name title Parachute Fail — Jesus Saves – Epic Fail Funny Videos and Funny Pictures to more suited for your subject you create. I enjoyed the blog post however.
It is actually a nice and useful piece of info. I am glad that you shared this helpful tidbit with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been exploring for a little for any high-quality articles or weblog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I at last stumbled upon this web site. Studying this information So i am glad to convey that I have an incredibly excellent uncanny feeling I found out exactly what I needed. I so much undoubtedly will make sure to do not fail to remember this website and provides it a glance on a constant basis.
Fail quality seems to be on the up
Definitely… Leech, do you still own this thing?
tru, but more wins need to be designated. this one is totally Jesus FTW, fail on the base jumper’s part.
Correct, win…. JESUS!
^.^
Agreed
That looks like a win to me
i totally aggree JESUS SAVED HIM WAT R THEY THINKIN?? my friend said it was a parachute fail not that jesus saved him.
This is defientantly not a win. How are they gonna get him down?
At least he’s alive. If the chute had failed and NOT caught on the statue…
satue!? screw that, he owes Jesus a big freaking thank you. he just saved his ass!
actually its a base jumper. just a coincidental angle that makes it look like hes’ stuck on there.
Well … This is Felix Baumgartner, an Austrian (no kangaroos!) who is famous for basejumping of the Jesus statue in Rio de Janeiro.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Baumgartner
Um… This is in
Chile… or are you refering to some Rio de Janerio in Chile that I’ve never heard of… despite going there…
Ahh yeah, Austrians cant go to Chile…
Totally forgot about that.
Thanks for reminding me!
Rio de Janerio, or at least the one i know of, is not in Chile. DEE DE DEEE
comprehension fail – he was saying what he’s famous for, not what he’s doing in the picture
its in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, not Chile. But if you didnt know where Rio de Janerio was, you came pretty close to saying Brazil. Good job.
Matt, RIo de Janeiro = Brazil, Type Mount Corcovado on google! You just failed!
FAIL!!!! youre joking, right… this is one of the wonders of the world. its in Rio De Janeiro in Brazil… lol
An if you speak german … you can even read the better because longer Bio at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Baumgartner

LOL!
The guy is Felix Baumgartner and this is one of his more known stunts.
It’s still come major fail, if that’s what he calls a stunt.
Well, it’s a base jump, and he is one of _the_ base jumpers in the world.

It’s not a processed photo, just timed in a very opportune way. He’s not in fact stuck: he’s just begun the jump and his chute is still opening.
Photo source and story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/549947.stm
Nope, it was not a fail, the way the picture was taken just suggests that. He did not get stuck and made the jump:

It looks that way though. Let people enjoy the photographer’s perfect sense of timing.
Nope, it was not a fail, the picture just suggests that. He did not get stuck and made the jump.
Search on Youtube for Video ID b-PsviSStA8, it has the whole jump on it.
lol it looks awesome
Lol, it’s like the flying priest, ^^
Jesus Saves!!!!
Jesus said to his friends, “Hey John, hey Peter! Check out my new yoyo!”

I wonder if he was scared? Then again, he should have been really comfortable up there…
OMG, two days and two fail failblog!
FAIL PHOTO MANIPULATION!
It really doesnt matter if this photo is a fake, the point is do you have faith; and if so are you convinced that JESUS saves?
This is NOT a fail. He is in mid jump from the arm, not hung up on it.
I’m probably going to Hell for this (not like there aren’t a bunch of other reasons), but the first caption idea that came to mind: “Who’s your Saviour? Whooo’s your Saviour? Tell me you love me. Now quack like a duck! Louder! I can’t hear you! Who’s the good duckie? You are!”
I’m right beside you, Vaux! Nice roomy handbasket, isnt’ it?
Haha, just great!
And don’t worry about the joke, everyone’s going to hell anyway.
JESUS CHRIST!
It’s a ‘Where is your god now?’, surely…
here’s a funny bible school joke:
a kid is constantly poking a girl in the back during sunday school one day. the teacher asks these questions, and she replies ironically.
teacher: who is the best?
girl (boy pokes her): oh my God!
teacher: who’s your Savior?

teacher: what did eve say to adam after they’d had 28 children?
girl (boy pokes her especially hard in the back): if you stick that in me one more time, i’ll break it in half!
this is probably one of the funniest things ive read all day.
WIN !!!!
Jesus saves the day once again. He’ll always be there for you when you’re down.
Or trying to be down in this case.
Ah! The FAIL is BACK!
Hey I know….We can all ride the Failboat to hell!!!!!!
Good’n Vaux!
Well, if we do, then we will probably have some problems… maybe we’ll end up in the completely wrong place.
Ha ha ha. Jesus SAVES!

STFU.
I’m trying to know where they find the jungle behind the Christ.
JESUS SAVES!!!
lol, the funnyst you post this week!
Holy Fail

And all do not say always it give a God!!
Uuuuuhhhhhh…… someone set us up the bomb?
English much?
wow. that guy was LUCKY.
and then the Lord said, “My son, STOP EVERY SINGLE PARACHUTER THAT COME NEAR YOU!” and that’s how we found out God’s secret grudge.
God hates parachuters eh? Never woulda’ guessed.
PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!
Jesus help me!
jesus:1 parachuter:fail
We need to build more statues of Satan, just to confuse the fundies who like this picture.
I remember the parafailing incident in which a paraglider attempted to land on the Statue of Liberty’s torch, or on Liberty Island, and got his paraglider stuck on Lady Liberty’s torch. CLASSIC!
