I can't believe this guy survived...apparently his fall was "softened" by telegraph-wires.

1926 Motorbike Parachute Stunt Man
- Thread starter Kioshk
- Start date
Looks like he didn't calculate 'chute opening time'.
I found the dubbed in sound interesting. Didn't know they had electric starters in 1926.
From his looks, no teeth, it appears he'd tried similar stunts before.
Funny stuff, K. Thanks for sharing.

Another link of the same since I saw the old one here was not up an working anymore.
Funny or maybe not really, but Fred Osborne is the guys name.
Could be why Super Dave thought of Osborne?
Always remember Saturday Night Live with episodes of Super Dave Osborne never going right. Probably if I remember right also appeared on Johnny Carson. Ah checked and Smothers Brothers plus Dick Van Dyke and Co. Bob Einstein played the character I heard.
