Stunt man who was walking on Plane’s Wings goes wrong plunges to death

Wingwalker Todd Green

Throughout a Michigan air show at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, aerial stuntman Todd Green was performing a “wing walking” stunt, in which he attempted to walk across an airplane’s wings and go into a helicopter that was riding alongside.

But something failed at Selfridge Air National Guard Base as around 75,000 people looked on.

Green was balancing on a wing of a airplane, trying to catch a helicopter's skid. The helicopter circled the airplane twice for Green to try to latch on, but he drop on the third try, witnesses said.

Moments after an announcer observed of the wind, Green fell from a wing when he was unable to grab onto the helicopter as part of a trick he had been doing for years.

The National Weather Service in White Lake Township aforesaid winds in the area around the time of the incident were westward at 24km/h. It was uncertain on Sunday if the wind was a factor the accident.

Green has been performing these types of aerial tricks for around 25 years, so he was experienced. But why wasn’t he wearing a parachute? Did it have something to do with his comparatively low altitude, and the fact that, from such a height, a parachute may not have done much? We don’t know. But we do know he leaves wife and two children.

Todd Green fell from wing

The fall happens at 3:20. While it’s not shown in its whole, it’s still very scary and very sad.
