We all know it’s important to check in with your parents while travelling, but one man decided to let his mum and dad know just how much fun he was having by contacting them for a video call seconds before he did a skydive.
Irish backpacker Roger Ryan, who is travelling in Australia, Skyped his parents as he braced himself for a parachute jump from 4,000 metres.
In a video captured by Hostelworld, we see Ryan’s parents sitting in front of the screen, unaware of what their son is about to do.
“I’m going to jump out of an aeroplane now, so I’ll talk to you in a second,” says Ryan, before leaping out of the aeroplane as his parents let loose a stream of expletives.
“I thought he was in a bus!” exclaims his dad.
Well, at least he called.
