Snowmobile rider performs amazing jump and is saved by parachute

If there's one benefit that GoPro cameras have brought to modern life, it allows you to experience real “near death” experiences in the comfort and protection of your chair in front of your computer (or any other gadget that displays videos). This type of recording equipment, which is already suitable for sports, seems to incite the most extreme sportsmen to perform incredible feats, just to document using the camera.

Another proof of this was made by Erik Roner, an experienced snowmobile driver who decided to jump off a mountain. However, the boy's adventure was a bit more hardcore than he expected, as we can see in the video above. Fortunately, Erik is a forewarned man who was wearing a parachute, which saved his life.

A snowmobile is roughly equivalent to a jet ski, which, instead of being used over water, serves to glide over the frozen surface. It's worth watching and reviewing the video, which, in addition to showing really radical scenes, still displays the privileged look from the top of a completely frozen mountain.
