Attached to a professional instructor, Sasha did a tandem jump from a 3 kilometre height.
The yound daredevil did it for a very sweet reason – in the name of love to his girlfriend.
Sharing his skydiving experience, Sasha took to Facebook page where he wrote:
“Before the jump the instructor asked only one question: “Man, are you afraid of Google maps?”
As to the wheelchair, the guys didn’t even paid attention to it and refused to see it at all.
I mean, we even didn’t discuss the matter. You know why? Cause that’s a bullshit.”
The 31-year-old is one of the most recognizable wheelchair users in Belarus. Seven years ago a road accident made Sasha disabled.
Since then the man moves only in a wheelchair, but that doesn’t stop him from living a life to the fullest.
