Watch: Skydiver makes video call to parents while jumping off aeroplane

In the 50-second video clip, one can see Ryan talking to his parents and then jumping off a plane as his parents react with joy and surprise.

“Okay so I am going to jump off a plane right now, so I’ll talk to you in a second,” Roger says before plunging from the plane to skydive. “Oh no he is jumping off the aeroplane,” his mother exclaims, and his father says, “I thought he was on a bus!”. Then both parents watch in awe as their son safely lands.

Ryan recorded his parents’ reactions on Skype and posted them on the travel resource group Hostelworld’s YouTube channel, where the video gained over two million views.

Commenting on the video, a YouTube user wrote, “Can we talk about how freaking hilarious and adorable his parents are? This was so sweet!”. Another person remarked, “I’m so impressed with his cellphone service provider.”

This six-year-old video surfaced online again recently after it was reposted by popular Instagram accounts such as Pubity.
