Travis Pastrana has lived most of his life either sailing through the air or spiralling upside down. So when he decided to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, he probably thought of it as just another checkmark on his bucket list.
Being an extreme-sports veteran, his medical record is decorated with injuries such as a broken tibia and fibula, a torn ACL and MCL, and a dislocated spine that left him in a wheelchair for 3 months. An expert risk taker, he understands that amazing feats require the dedication to roll through the punches.
For many, this stunt might seem a little insane, but I can’t help but imagine the sense of freedom you might feel while jumping out of a plane with nothing on, but shorts, socks, and a pair of sunglasses.
