Not without my Vespa
Austrian stuntman and daredevil, Günter SCHACHERMAYR and his Vespa PX rolled out of an open aircraft door 14,000 feet (4200 meters) above ground.
Free falling at a speed over 186 mph (300km/h), and with acceleration forces above 6G, Günter manged to perform various acrobatic movements on his Vespa scooter within the 40-second free fall.
The Jump
Unable to get a government body to issue a permit for the jump, Günter was able to convince a privately owned airfield at Spitzerberg, Vienna to allow him to jump off and land there.
After two years of precise planning, including the crucial exit from the plane, which had to be quick to avoid the tail of the aircraft. Günter left the Wels, airfield aboard a Cessna Caravan 208, towards Vienna.
Reaching an altitude of 4200 meters the airplane door was opened and Günter on his Vespa was helped off the airplane.
Reaching the minimum altitude Günter separated from the Vespa, after first opening the scooter’s parachute, followed by is own. Each were equipped with their own parachute, and both landed safely at the drop zone.
Günter, is currently planning his next extreme motorcycle stunt for 2024.
