Instagram user Gio Masters shared the videos. “Jumping into a nuclear cooling tower,” he wrote in one of the videos. The clip opens to show him standing on the ledge of the tower. On the count of two, he jumps inside it. Moments before hitting the ground, he opens his parachute and lands safely. Keep the volume high as the sound of his parachute opening makes the video even more incredible.

“All the shots of the nuclear plant jump. Such a surreal experience,” he wrote in yet another video. The clip shows his jump from different angles.

That’s not all. He also shared a third video of his daring adventure and captioned it “Raw POV”. This video may give you goosebumps.

“You don't feel scared?” wondered an Instagram user. “Wow. The echo of the count down too was a vibe,” added another. “Lol. You are such a daredevil. I got anxious looking at this,” expressed a third. “This entire video is just a work of art,” wrote a fourth.
