Estos temerarios pagaron el precio. En esta lista, veremos las hazañas de inventores y especialistas en acrobacias icónicos que terminaron trágicamente.
Transcript
00:00This right here is the uniform I'm going to wear during my next rocket jumper.
00:13Everyone was panicking because this was totally unexpected, the cable snapping.
00:30On Saturday, Potter and fellow flyer Graham Hunt jumped off Taft Point in Yosemite National Park.
00:41Base jumping is illegal in Yosemite and five people have died doing it.
01:00After their risky trick, the remains of the two friends were found.
01:04Potter and Hunt had lost control while flying in the air towards a cavity of rocks that they needed to clear.
01:11Both tremors crashed before they could deploy their parachutes.
01:16Potter was a pioneer. He pushed the boundaries of mountain sports, where death is ever present.
01:23But, reasoned Potter, getting close to death made him feel more alive.
01:29After leaving the Austro-Hungarian Empire to become a successful priest in Paris, France,
01:38Franz Reichelt was inspired by the growing popularity of airplanes.
01:42So he started working on a parachute suit that a pilot could wear.
01:47After some failed experiments with mannequins, Reichelt decided he needed more height to work properly.
01:54That's why he chose the iconic Eiffel Tower.
01:57In February 1912, Reichelt jumped from the first roof 57 meters high, while a group of journalists watched.
02:06Sadly, the parachute did not deploy correctly.
02:10In the meantime, the inventor fell and died.
02:13Harry O'Connor's cinematographic trick
02:16After being a SEAL of the US Navy,
02:19Harry O'Connor changed the course of his career and started working as an acrobat coordinator for movies.
02:26After participating in projects such as The Perfect Storm and Charlie's Angels in 2000,
02:31he accepted a job at XXX in 2002 as Vin Diesel's double.
02:40But his life ended tragically when he was filming in Prague, Czech Republic, in April 2002.
02:47After achieving the first take, O'Connor was doing the parabellum trick near the Palaki Bridge.
02:54However, something went wrong.
02:57O'Connor hit a pillar and died in the impact.
03:00The first take made by the professional was used in the final editing.
03:04Later, XXX dedicated himself to O'Connor's memory.
03:10Harry O'Connor, our aerial stunt coordinator and stuntman, doing this stunt here,
03:16now, unfortunately, right there, smacking into the bridge, breaking his neck and dying.
03:23This film is dedicated to his memory.
03:25Jonathan Goodwin's car accident
03:28Thanks to his impressive feats in Braden's Got Talent in 2019 and America's Got Talent in 2020,
03:35Jonathan Goodwin had made a name for himself as one of the best acrobatic escapees and specialists in the world.
03:49But then, in October 2021, everything went downhill
03:53while rehearsing a trick for America's Got Talent Xtreme.
03:58Goodwin was wrapped in a life jacket while he was suspended 10 meters between two vehicles.
04:05Before he could escape, Goodwin was crushed by the vehicles before they set fire to him.
04:11After that, he fell to the ground.
04:13The coward suffered third-degree burns.
04:16Both legs were fractured and the spine was fractured,
04:19which caused a paralysis of the lower waist.
04:28The last apnea immersion of Audrey Masra
04:32Audrey Masra was known for her incredible diving skills in apnea.
04:37She regularly broke world records, often surpassing those she had previously established.
04:48Working with her husband Francisco Ferreras,
04:51the two were considered the most famous apnea couple in the world.
04:55In October 2002, Masra tried to break a record off the coast of the Dominican Republic.
05:01After a few practice sessions, everything seemed to be going well.
05:05The Frenchwoman grabbed the cable that dragged him 170 meters into the ocean in a single breath.
05:12However, once in the deep, several complications caused Masra to not be able to return to the surface before losing consciousness.
05:25That so little was put in place for her safety.
05:29Even with the help of security divers and Ferreras to get Masra out of the water, she could not be resuscitated.
05:36The musical video of John James
05:38John McMurray, better known as John James, not only practiced balance,
05:43but also performed acrobatics and created music.
05:46The Canadian rapper liked to include his reckless adventures in his music videos.
05:55In October 2018, after training for months,
05:58James planned to walk on the wing of a small Cessna plane while flying for a music video in British Columbia.
06:06But as he moved away, the plane lost control and began to fall into a descending spiral.
06:12James clung to the wing.
06:25But when he let go, he was too close to the ground to open his parachute.
06:32Although the pilot managed to take control and land safely, unfortunately James did not survive the fall.
06:40The rope swing of Kylie Lee Stocking
06:43The disadvantage of showing acrobatics on the internet is that sometimes people who are not professionals will try to do the feat for themselves.
06:55And sometimes it can be a disaster.
06:58After watching a viral video of a group that created a swing in the Corona Arc near Moab, Utah,
07:04Kylie Lee Stocking wanted to imitate it in March 2013.
07:07Looking at the 33-meter fall, Stocking jumped from an arch holding on to a rope while his friends watched.
07:16However, he had miscalculated the length of the rope, it was too long.
07:22Stocking collided with the rock on the ground and died from the impact.
07:26Mike Hughes' rocket test
07:29After declaring that he believed that the Earth was flat,
07:32Mike Hughes set out to raise funds to build a rocket that would allow him to photograph the apparent shape of the planet's disk.
07:52In February 2020, near Bardstow, California,
07:56Hughes was ready to launch the homemade rocket propelled by steam that he would pilot after years of testing.
08:03While Science Channel was filming the event as part of its Homemade Astronauts series,
08:08the rocket soon had a problem while taking off.
08:12The parachute that was supposed to return Hughes to the ground safely came loose prematurely and took off.
08:18This caused the rocket to crash.
08:21Hughes did not survive the impact.
08:30Subsequently, Hughes' public relations representative confirmed that declaring the Earth flat was a publicity stunt to get funding.
08:39Kirby Scott's motorcycle jump
08:42In February 1997, thousands of people filled the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida,
08:49to witness Kirby Scott's motorcycle skills as part of a monster truck and car rally event.
08:56Although he was only 28 years old, he had been doing acrobatics for years,
09:01even showing this feat several times in particular.
09:05Scott was going to take off on a ramp that would throw him more than 20 meters in the air and towards a net to which he would grab.
09:12However, that night he could not achieve it. Instead, he bounced on the net.
09:17This caused Scott to turn and fall.
09:19Then he landed head-on on the ground and received several wounds to which he did not survive.
09:24Wu Zhongning's last free climb
09:27In 2017, Wu Zhongning was one of the stars of China's most important social networks.
09:33In addition to working in the film industry, he became famous as a timid rooftopper,
09:38climbing the tallest buildings in the country with his impressive athleticism, all without safety equipment.
09:45In November, supposedly looking to raise money for his wedding and his mother's medical treatment,
09:50Wu climbed the 62-story Huajuanhua Center in Changsha.
09:56But while doing his characteristics dominated on the edge of the building while filming,
10:01he struggled to get up again and lost his grip.
10:04Wu fell on his face and died from the impact.
10:07Gary Wells' Scissors Palace jump to the fountain
10:11In 1967, the legendary and timid Evel Knievel tried to jump the fountain of Scissors Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada,
10:19about which we will have much more to say later, by the way.
10:24In 1980, the timid motorcyclist Gary Wells decided to try the same trick on the television show That's Incredible.
10:31Wells managed to clear the fountain but hit the landing ramp, causing an unpleasant accident.
10:38According to some sources, he claimed that someone must have moved his ramp.
10:42The accident caused Wells to suffer a brain concussion that broke his legs and pelvis,
10:48and he also suffered a tear in an artery.
10:51Surprisingly, he survived.
10:53Elaine Robert's Rappel Incident
10:56Named the French Spider Man, Elaine Robert has gained fame for climbing skyscrapers without much equipment.
11:08And there is some oil inside the groove.
11:10Then it becomes impossible to jam the right foot.
11:14This type of exercise poses a huge risk and Robert has faced a series of challenges and injuries.
11:20The most terrifying accident occurred on September 29, 1982.
11:25His rope failed while rappelling and fell almost 15 meters.
11:30So you fell 15 meters down, you braced yourself, you broke your wrists, everything was broken, all the bones, and you hit your head as well.
11:37I lost 45% of my blood.
11:39He suffered numerous broken bones and dislocated his elbow.
11:43He was also partially paralyzed and spent almost a week in a coma.
11:47He fully recovered and made more remarkable climbs, like the one he did at Empire State in 1994.
11:55As far as NYPD is concerned, this is a very serious matter.
12:02According to them, he puts himself in danger and other people in danger by doing things like this.
12:08Joe Bonomo's Air Jump
12:10Being a professional weightlifter, Joe Bonomo also performed as an acrobatics specialist in movies.
12:16A particular scene required him and another specialist to use only one parachute while both jumped from a plane.
12:23However, no one wanted to participate in this dangerous feat,
12:27so Bonomo did it with a doll.
12:29Once he landed on a mass of water, the extreme winds caught his parachute and dragged him for about half an hour.
12:37Then he decided to use the doll as a floating lifeguard.
12:41Although he was dragged at high speeds and could have drowned,
12:44Bonomo's quick thinking ensured his survival.
12:48Richard Guzman's Fall
12:50This professional weightlifter was a member of the famous Flying One.
12:55Actually, he was the son-in-law of the founder of the group, Carl Wallenda,
12:59since he had married his daughter Carla.
13:05In July 1972, Guzman was acting with the company when he accidentally touched a wire with electricity.
13:12Guzman's death
13:14In July 1972, Guzman was acting with the company when he accidentally touched a wire with electricity.
13:21An official police officer stopped his 20-meter fall, but the damage was already done.
13:36He no longer had a pulse, and although a nurse successfully administered RCP to him in the place,
13:41he died in the hospital early the next morning.
13:44Larry Walters' Balloon Flight
13:46On July 2, 1982, the Americans observed with amazement how the trucker Larry Walters
13:52flew over Los Angeles in a garden chair attached to numerous meteorological balloons.
14:03Although it is a spectacular view, the trick is quite dangerous.
14:07Walters survived, but the crossing was difficult.
14:10He rose to an amazing height of 4,000 meters.
14:14He entered controlled airspace.
14:17To regulate his altitude, he shot several balloons with a gun of perdigones,
14:22but then he dropped it accidentally.
14:30In the fall, he got tangled in an active electric cable.
14:33Walters was fined for his trick, but he also received a Darwin Award.
14:37The chair he used ended up in the Stephen Abb's Outward Hazy Center of the Smithsonian,
14:42along with other historical planes.
14:57The accident in Tirolesa by Sailendra Nath Roy
15:00This Indian specialist held a peculiar world record.
15:04He had traveled the longest distance in Tirolesa using only his own hair.
15:09With his horse tail, Roy traveled about 80 meters in 2011.
15:14But in April 2013, he tried to break his own record by doing pull-ups on the Tista River in West Bengal.
15:21While performing the risky trick, his hair was caught and hung over the river for about 45 minutes.
15:28Roy suffered a heart attack during this time and died in the act.
15:33The back flip by Pavel Kashin
15:36Pavel Kashin, a specialist in Russian tricks, began to practice parkour.
15:46A discipline popularized through cinema and television.
15:50Parkour is often practiced on the street without security equipment.
15:53Kashin was from St. Petersburg, and according to reports, in July 2013,
15:58he was doing an acrobatics on top of a 16-story apartment complex.
16:07He tried to do a back flip on the building's ledge, but he lost his balance.
16:12He did not survive the fall that followed him.
16:15Kashin's friend managed to take a picture of his last flip,
16:18which was later shared on the Internet with his parents' permission.
16:26Jane Weicker's accident
16:28In June 2013, the Dayton International Airport in Ohio was hit by a plane.
16:34The Dayton International Airport in Ohio was the site of the Vectron Air Show,
16:38which featured many aerial acrobatics.
16:50As part of the event, the acrobatics specialist Jane Weicker
16:53acted with her pilot, Charlie Schrenker.
16:56Windwalking is a dangerous trick in which people essentially walk on a plane in flight.
17:04At this point, I get concerned when certain things are thrown at me that I'm not ready for.
17:21The cause of death for both was multiple trauma due to an accident.
17:35He was preparing to take off for a formation flight with his colleagues from the Red Arrows,
17:41famous the world over for their spectacular stunts.
17:58Being ejected shouldn't have proved fatal,
18:02but the parachute on his seat didn't open.
18:23We have made and will continue to make every effort
18:27to make sure that such a tragic accident could never happen again.

18:42The Evil Can Evil's Scissors Palace Trick
18:45Perhaps the most famous acrobatics specialist of his generation,
18:49Evil Can Evil became world famous thanks to his exciting motorcycle stunts.
18:54On the eve of New Year's Eve 1967,
18:57Evil Can tried his greatest feat so far,
19:00a 46-meter jump over the iconic Scissors Palace fountain in Las Vegas.
19:14No one had much faith in the event.
19:16ABC didn't broadcast it live, and Evil Can had to finance the filming himself.
19:21During the stunt, the speed of the motorcycle suddenly decreased.
19:35Not having enough power, Evil Can crashed seriously.
19:39He suffered many debilitating injuries, including a brain concussion,
19:44multiple fractures and a crushed pelvis.
19:47But incredibly, he survived.
19:49Don't do any of this at home.
