True but I was commenting more on the absolute stupidity of making a jump without checking your parachute rather then the jump itself.Yes, but that is bollox... Nobody packs your 'chute for you, you do it yourself... You carefully roll it and check for foreign objects and if you are doing a base jump, you have to prepare it and remove the (I can't remember the name but it is a sheet that goes between the risers and slows down the opening to make it softer on your meat & two veg)... It is a very precise manual process... See how he holds the drogue chute in his hand and deploys it immediately when he jumps? He knows there are no second chances if anything goes wrong from that height - there is no way he would pack a chute with big hols in it...

The challenge takes the core concept of Bird Box — wearing a blindfold at all times while wandering around outside — and applies it to a certain period of time. Some people, like YouTube creator Morgan Adams, have tried to go about their daily lives for 24 hours while blindfolded, while others have attempted the challenge for a shorter period.
