Spirit within the sky-dive.
A Spirit Airlines passenger sparked guffaws galore after he was spotted wearing a parachute aboard a flight — with many viewers joking that it was a sensible move given the seemingly chaos-prone budget carrier.
A video of the flyer’s seemingly overzealous measure has amassed over 1.6 million views on TikTok.
“Not my husband bringing his parachute on Spirit Airlines just in case [laughing emoji],” reads the text overlaying the video, which was uploaded by the apparent doomsday prepper’s wife Kagan Brooks.
Accompanying footage shows her other half, named Brandon, boarding the flight along with his camouflage-patterned parachute pack strapped to his back.
He then nonchalantly shoves the parcel within the overhead bin, which surprisingly doesn’t elicit any response from his fellow flyers.
Brooks wrote within the caption that she was “laughing out loud the complete time.”
The TikTok commentariat was each bemused and surprisingly on board together with her hubby’s selection of carry-on luggage.
“You already know in the event that they managed to open the door everybody be fighting for that parachute,” declared one armchair traveler.
One other wrote, “Probably the neatest idea I’ve ever seen. This might help me with any plane anxiety in a way.”
Many joked that Brandon was prepared to tug the ripcord should any shenanigans break out aboard the budget carrier, which is usually seen as synonymous with unruly behavior, fights and other mile-high-jinks.
“Spirit airlines… checks out. Smart man,” quipped one TikTok wit, while one other wrote, “You’re on spirit. You would like a parachute, a bible and loads of hope.”
Nevertheless, as several astute viewers suspected, her video was actually a joke: Her other half was not toting the parachute as a safeguard but moderately so he could use it for recreational purposes at his destination.
“My husband was bringing his rig to Miami so he could go skydiving there,” Brooks clarified in a follow-up clip. “I believed people understood humor however the comment section says otherwise.”
Not only that, but as one commenter observed, “You possibly can’t jump out of a industrial plane” with that setup.
Fortunately, this doesn’t mean people can’t bring these safety umbrellas aboard for other purposes just like the aforementioned.
Based on TSA guidelines, passengers are allowed to move the rigs in either carry-on or checked luggage provided that they’re packed individually from other luggage.
Nevertheless, the TSA recommends that chute-toting travelers arrive on the airport half-hour ahead of time as parachutes could also be subject to additional screening.
