There are bad decisions. There are silly decisions. Then there’s latching onto a helicopter’s landing gear as it takes off to hover hundreds of feet above the ground.

That’s what happened recently, somehow, in the following footage, after a chopper in Kenya delivered the deceased body of a famous businessman named Jacob Juma and a few onlookers grabbed hold of the rotary aircraft’s feet. One fell immediately, but the other didn’t, and rode the copter above the crowd and over the tree line and … yeah.

It’s bonkers:

According to numerous local news reports, the man eventually let go from relatively high altitude and survived (but sustained considerable injuries).
