Daredevil sets fire to parachute canopy

by

CGTN published this video item, entitled “Daredevil sets fire to parachute canopy” – below is their description.

After skydiving for nine years, Kyle Marquart intended to ramp up the fear factor. He decided to set parachute canopy on fire while plummeting 7,000 feet above Austin, Texas. Capturing the spectacular footage, Kyle shot a flare gun directly at his canopy, immediately causing it to burst into flames. While free falling, Kyle deployed his back-up parachute which allowed the daredevil to float safely back down to Earth.
