A guy Skyped his parents while skydiving in a video that’s since gone viral. I’d be scared of losing my phone.

Skydiving is something I can confidently say I will never do in my lifetime. Heights aren’t my thing and I would probably faint before even getting on the plane. However, this guy clearly feels differently. He’s so comfortable while skydiving that he was able to Skype his parents! He executed a video call with them while falling from the sky and their reaction is nothing short of adorable. You can see the viral video on Reddit below.

Guy Calls His Parents While Skydiving In Viral Video

Wouldn’t he be scared of dropping his phone? He must have had it secured in some sort of way in order to pull this off successfully. I feel like it definitely wasn’t his first time skydiving and he’s had to have done it before. Commenters on Reddit noticed how happy the mom is for her son on video even at one point saying, “I just photographed you.” Adorable. I don’t think I would get that same reaction from my mom. She’d probably be scared because she would know that there’s no way I would ever do that willingly. Who made me do it? What’s going on? Was I kidnapped?

The video came about thanks to Hostelworld who met Roger, from Ireland, who (quite literally) jumped at the chance to take part in a 14,000 foot skydive with a twist, per Unilad. On its YouTube channel, Hostelworld wrote, “We all know it’s normal to call your parents whilst traveling, usually from the comfort of a hostel or cafe. But why not share your travel adventures with them first hand? This is exactly what Roger did. Moments after his plane started its ascent, his parents Pat and Mary received and unexpected call from their son.” Hopefully it was their phone and not his! I know making phone calls or texting while out of the country can be expensive, I can’t imagine what a FaceTime from the sky would end up costing.

In the video, Roger is seen Skyping his parents and they can’t tell what’s going on at first but they eventually realize that he’s skydiving and calling them at the same time. Honestly, I didn’t know Skype was still a thing. I thought Zoom took care of them a while ago but it’s good to see them back in the news and still being used by some people. Good for you, Skype. I figured it was a FaceTime call but Skype wins this one.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
