“Whatever you do, give 100%. Unless you're donating blood”
Skydivers are ten-a-penny nowadays, but none have been a viral sensation like McKenna Knipe, who has gained fame for her mad mid-air antics.
In her most-watched Instagram video, the 28-year-old American can be seen scuttling over the top of other skydivers’ parachutes.
Not far behind in the view charts is a video in which she tucks into a pie freshly baked by Napoleon Cafe in Jackson, Michigan.
Closing out the podium is Knipe’s mid-air jump from the feet of a parachutist onto the back of another skydiver.
Her video of “ramen on the fly” - also known as noodles with tomato sauce in a belt pouch - was a major hit, too.
As was this dose of “natural sugars”: shot on the GoPro max, she can be seen chomping down a banana as she sets off on a dive.
In a video that wasn't so much spectacular as hugely moving, Knipe scattered the ashes of a 94-year-old veteran at his family’s request.
Another thing Knipe likes to do is create human pyramids by hanging off the bottom of a helicopter with other skydivers.
She says she doesn’t normally picnic, but when she does, “I make sure it’s 8,000 ft up and I get slapped in the face with my food”.
Among Knipe’s most recent challenges, she shot a video in which she can be seen giving herself a full facial up in the air.
She also imitated the TikToker who filmed a viral video of himself skating and drinking raspberry juice to the sound of Fleetwood Mac.
