Following up on the charming story of Michael Holmes, the British skydiver who survived a freefall from two miles with neither of his chutes correctly deploying, we finally have embeddable video.
Thanks to all the readers who sent different links to the clip. Anybody who can splice in little pieces of Tom Petty's "Freefallin'" gets a gold star.
Your Bill Brasky jokes are welcome in the comments.
UPDATE: Looks like the copyright Nazis are pissing on the parade again. Watch the entire video here.

I once saw Bill Brasky jump out of an airplane without a parachute just so he could finally face death… then he proceeded to beat Death within an inch of his life, then I think he raped him.
My favorite from the SNL sketches: “Bill Brasky’s family crest is a picture of a barracuda eating Neil Armstrong†that or, “I once saw Bill Brasky scissor kick Angela Landsbury.†Ahh….back when it was funny.

Good thing he didn’t die. Otherwise his last words would’ve been “Bye.” and “How’s it?”
Brasky invented skydiving when he was told that his inflight movie would be “Xanadu”. He beat the plane within an inch of its life and then forced everyone to jump out of the plane. Everyone who was on that plane that day is now a millionaire.

Wow! Even more amazing is that someone watches Keith Obermann
1st Friend of Brasky: I remember when Brasky fashioned a working plane made of penguins and chickens. He said if they couldn’t fly, he was gonna make ‘em!
All: TO BILL BRASKY!
2nd Friend of Brasky: When he jumped, instead of a chute, he packed bottles of Wild Turkey!
1st Friend of Brasky: He fell for 40 days!
3rd Friend of Brasky: He didn’t fall, he head-butted Mother Nature at 80 miles an hour!
2nd Friend of Brasky: And then he jumped right back up and into the plane!
1st Friend of Brasky:Bill Brasky cured my Hepatitis!
3rd Friend of Brasky:He gave it to you!
1st Friend of Brasky:And I’ll be damned if I don’t respect him for that!
Booming Voice of Bill Brasky: I’m back! Now, top me off, you bastards!
The video’s not there anymore.
The Daily Mail (British newspaper) bought it and had YouTube take it down.

They say, when they pulled him out of that blackberry bush, his lung looked like a basketball filled with ricotta cheese.

He wanted his last words to be: “Bye, I”m Dead.” But he lived another 74 years after he spoke them. Bill always stuck to his guns, of course, so he refused to speak for the rest of his life, just so those WOULD be his final words. They say in those 74 years he communicated through a series of dropkicks and fierce elbows, but his friends knew him better. He’d also occassionally send a message through a meaty fist to the groin. I can’t father children because of that. Bill Brasky had to do my wife for me. Message received dear friend, message received.
TO BILL BRASKY!
