IT’S IMPORTANT TO keep in touch with your parents while you’re travelling the globe. Irish lad Roger Ryan knows that.

He was staying in a hostel in Sydney, Australia when he was approached by travel website Hostelworld to do a 14,000 foot skydive.

Ryan said yes, and decided to Skype his parents to let them know… moments before he jumped out of the plane.

Some NSFW language – they are watching their beloved child jump out of a plane, after all.

Maybe give them a bit more warning the next time you attempt a daring stunt before their eyes, yeah Roger?
