TODAY: Multiple Drones Attached Together Fly "Drone Diver" Off Tower Then He Falls (video)
 

This is absolutely insane! Would you do it? Seems like too much room for error don't you think? Just one drone malfunctioning and you're fucked :2 cents:

This company is also pushing their drone setup as a human rescue option to replace helicopters.

Drone lifts Ingus Augstkalns 1,082ft and then he falls!

It could be the next big thing in extreme sports ? 'drone-diving'.

Daredevil skydiver Ingus Augstkalns was lifted 1,082 feet (330 meters) into the air by a 28-propeller drone, dropped and parachuted safely back to the earth.

Although the feat makes for an entertaining spectacle, Aerones, the creator of the massive drone, foresees the unmanned aerial vehicle being used in rescue missions.

'In the near future, our technology will save human lives, will help fight fires and carry out other challenging and significant work,' said Jānis Putrāms, chief engineer of Aerones and a pilot of the drone.

'With this project, we show that we are ready for serious tasks in the field of civil defense and sports.

Lativa-based Aerones, which is a drone manufacture focused on developing these devices with high lifting power, conducted their secret 'drone diving' operation in an isolated part of the Baltic state.

Preparation for the jump lasted six months and during that time, the team increased the payload up to 440 pounds (200kg) and conducted a number of tests, including flights carrying Augstkalns over the river Daugava.

The super-powered drone measures 34 feet (3.2sqm), boasts 16 rotors and weighs 154 pounds (70 kilograms).

The incredible video of the 'drone-dive' shows the drone taking off from a body of water and head towards a communication tower, which stands 393 feet (120 meter) tall, where Augstkalns was waiting at the top.

I would be more concerned about the parachute opening myself...especially at such a low altitude. :2 cents:

I'd try it

:2 cents:

Seriously? You're not afraid the shoot might fail?
