He jumped from an airplane above Puerto Rico during this incident without using a parachute. He instead relied on meeting up with another skydiver in midair and latching onto them with a harness.
Together, they accomplished a parachute descent and landing. Yet because it is against the law to attempt such a feat, Pastrana had to deal with legal penalties for the prank.
