Red Bull is not only a well-known sports energy drink, but also sponsored many sports, including dangerous extreme sports. During a stunt flight show in the Arizona desert in April this year, two stunt pilots, Luke Atkins, 48, and Andy Farrington, 39, jumped out of the single engine SNAs 182 sponsored by red bull and then tried to fall freely into each other's plane.
As a result, the accident occurred. Higgins successfully entered another plane, but Farrington failed. The plane that the latter should have entered crashed to the ground after opening the parachute. Fortunately, Farrington was not injured.
Soon, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intervened in the investigation and now announced the revocation of the licenses of two stunt pilots because of carelessness and recklessness. The two pilots tried to make two planes dive synchronously at an altitude of 4200 meters.
In addition, Higgins revealed that they need to obtain FAA permission to carry out the flight performance. They insisted on performing after their application was rejected. Unexpectedly, they not only smashed the pot, but also lost their jobs.
It is reported that the performance was broadcast live on Hulu. At that time, Red Bull packaged it, which was the first in the world.
