If I was chasing him with those guns the chase would have lasted 5 seconds. I would have put 1 in his ass, 1 in his knee and 1 in his brain before he got 20 feet.
Rick Sylvester is a Hollywood stuntman, most famous for his BASE jump using skis and parachute from Canada’s Mount Asgard for the James Bond movie The Spy Who Loved Me in July 1976. In 1973, he skied off the top of El Capitan and descended 3000′ by parachute. This was conceived as “the world’s greatest ski jump”. Already an expert skier, he spent 3 weeks learning sky diving to make this jump. He has since retired from stunt work.
Yeah, not fake. Jump was made by stunt man Rick Sylvester. That “rip cord” that I think you are talking about, the yellow thing by his left shoulder, that is not a rip cord but rather the cutaway that releases the main. The rip cord, or more used today, a pilot chute, are located either the bottom right or bottom right of the container (B.O.C – Bottom of Container) depending on the jumper. The chase scene was made in the Alps but the actual jump was off of El Captain in 1973.

All stunt work… except for the lousy rear projections on Moore. The Bond movies had the best stuntwork ever!!

He’s Rick Sylvester, I think he freefalls off of Mount Asgard (Canada) for this stunt.
