From the Documentary " Gizmo " This is an early parachute test.
They wanted to test the parachute before trying on a plane. I''m guessing this footage is from the 1920's. It looks like he took a couple of hard hits against the cliff. He looks sore when he lands , but when he sees the camera is on him, he raises his arm like he is o.k.
How stupid, I'd say...

How is that safer in any way shape or form? base jumping with a round canopy. good idea? right.

I had to revisit this vid cause it's so funny. The sound of him hitting the cliff is too much. BOOF!
Naimed is right, that's a tough job to have.

lol no freakin way that guy smacked the side of that stone cliff that damn hard two times and got up like it was nothing. i think this is a case of some early film editing to sell some parachutes

I think in the end, he's trying to say: I'm ok! Don't worry!

Safer test, by killing more people than it could have been.
