A short YouTube video transcript documenting Ryan Daniel Moran confronting his fear of heights by tandem skydiving. The transcript records pre-jump anxiety and joking banter with Gerald and another speaker, the jump itself (instructions and sensations), and post-landing reactions — concluding with Ryan saying he'd do it again and mentioning sharing the experience with his father.
I'm about as scared as I've ever been in my life. I pooped my pants twice already. Going three.
On the plane?
No, not on the plane.
Okay.
Wait till we get out.
I'm gonna poop right here.
I'm doing this because it's the one thing I'm most afraid of. I'm terrified of jumping off of things, and I'm just looking to face that fear. I am petrified of stepping out in faith. And so this is an exercise in that.
Okay, Ryan, let me say this. If you get on a plane with me, you're going skydiving. Do you understand that?
I'm loud and clear.
Fourth just pooped again.
You got anything you want to say to your family and friends?
I love you. The passcode to my bank account is 41934. And you just can have half and give the other half to campaign for liberty. And I love you.
I'm sorry.
I was so stupid and I went out this way.
You know, if we make it, you're gonna have to change that passcode, right?
That's okay. I'm probably not gonna make it, so. It'll be just fine.
All right.
And I'll see you on the plane.
O.
Back when I was younger.
Rock on your savior don't get up.
Your HS.
I'll accept with voice, with grace when they draw my name from.
The lottery and we'll say all the.
Song in the world Couldn't melt that.
Ice.
What'S happening, man? Just trying to stay calm. Trying to stay calm.
I understand.
We're going to do it.
You got any.
You been looking out the window? You got any thoughts about how high we are? How high do you think we are right now? Enough to shoot my pants for the fifth time. We're only halfway.
Awesome.
Really?
Yeah.
Probably about 6,000. Yep, 6,000.
You ready? Getting ready. You getting piped up right now? I'm getting calm. You got any famous last words, Ryan? Give me a fear.
Man.
Next time I turn this camera on, we're gonna be hooked up and ready to get out this door right here. Hey, Ryan, are you ready?
Walk forward. Walk, walk, walk, walk. Left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg, left leg, right leg.
Out.
Speed kills coming down the mountain Speed kills coming down the street Speed kills the presence of mind Speed kills if you know what I mean.
But I got to feel woke up inside again I got to feel less broke or fixed Got to feel like God outside myself Got to feel when I touched your lips Think we do to the people that we love.
To find yourself.
In a falling land.
Another refugee outside a refugee.
Wow.
My balls hurt so bad.
Your balls hurt?
You still recording me? I'm gonna stop making animal noises then.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Oh. Oh, my God. Oh.
I can't feel anything.
You feel alive. My legs feel non existent.
All right, Ryan, I want you to put your hands in these loops right here where mine are. Look up right there and right there.
Okay. Okay.
Inside it.
On the bottom.
All right. All right.
You see that blue building right down there?
Yeah.
That's where we started from. That's where we're headed to. Let this one up.
Don't block up. Just let it up. Relax, relax, relax, relax. Okay, now pull it a little bit.
Line up your leg. Shoulder.
You see it?
Wow.
You kept tapping my legs.
Was it because your legs look straight? You had them straight instead of curved back?
I thought for sure I had them.
Is that up?
Yep. Man.
That's bad.
My hands are asleep. Your hands are asleep?
Yeah.
Well, just hang on for just another minute.
Legs.
Better.
Left behind.
All the way up on the right.
All right, Ryan, we're at a thousand feet turn. Loosen these. I'm nice to hear the ground. I got it. Now remember, when we land, you put your feet out to the front, Let them slide. Don't try to stand. Don't try to run. Just try to slide.
It.
I think I kept your butt off the ground a little bit.
Gerald, I love you. I want to make babies. Not with you.
Oh, my God. Oh.
Wow.
Did good.
You did good.
Feel like taking a nap, but I'm good.
Do you still hate your girlfriend?
I don't.
Not as much. She's gonna be kind of a pain.
I'll probably put in her cage later, but I think we're good.
Hey, let me ask you a question.
All right.
Now that we're on the ground.
Yeah.
Back safe again.
Yeah.
Would you do it again?
I'd do it again.
In a second.
Huh? In a second. Yeah. All right.
If you could share this experience with one person that you don't think would want to go, like you didn't want to go.
I didn't.
But you had a great time. Somebody that wouldn't want to go, but you know they'd have a great time.
Who would it be?
My dad.
What's his name?
Dan. Dan.
You hear that, Dan? Your son just called you out. Let's go skydiving.
Skydiving.
Hello, dad. Thanks for coming out, Ryan.
Thank you. You had a great job.
Thanks.
