Like a dream. Let's get your chute up. I'm ready. Here we go.

BEAR GRYLLS: Terry Crews and I just landed on a small airfield in the Icelandic mountains. Last night, he told me that skydiving was on his bucket list. Well, Terry, be careful what you wish for.

I'm very nervous. It feel really real, wow. You're going to be like this. I'm going to fly around this side of you, yeah. A nice, bug, banana. We're going to be here. We're hooked up with one of our team who is a tandem master. We've got two chutes.

I got to ask, is unconsciousness a thing?

TERRY CREWS: For sure.

BEAR GRYLLS: What would knock you unconscious?

TERRY CREWS: Jumping out of a plane door open while it's flying at 150 miles an hour. Yeah, it's like [inaudible]. Something cut you, you hit your head on something, or we crash into each other. We're falling at 150 miles an hour.

Yeah. We're going to hook him up, get him out of his plane, and take him to 12,000 feet, door open, and then throw him out. Quick final checks. [inaudible] good. Feeling good inside. You're going to see the look of terror.

TERRY CREWS: I believe my mother is watching over me at all times. Trust the process. Trust yourself. OK. She was always proud of me, and I always want to make her proud. And today, I plan to do that right now. We're all here. That's it. That's it.

  • No going back. When that door closes--

TERRY CREWS: No going back. I'm going up there to be a little closer to my mom. Whoo.

BEAR GRYLLS: Oh, we're up here. Oh. Oh, my God. Look at these clouds. This is going to be epic.

BEAR GRYLLS: Where we at now?

BEAR GRYLLS: Not even five yet. We got to get to 12.

PILOT: Approaching the jump site now. Maintaining 12,000 feet. Jumpers, get ready. Here we go. Here we go.

PILOT: Open the door, guys. You ready?

BEAR GRYLLS: Here we go. There's no going back now. Let's go. Whoo.

PILOT: You guys are good to go. - Here we go. Oh, my God. Ready, [inaudible]. Oh. Yeah, whoa.

TERRY CREWS: I love it, whoo. [inaudible], Terry. We got him. He's on the canopy.

TERRY CREWS: I am doing it. I am flying right now. Absolutely incredible. Thank you, Bear. Thank you. This whole experience, man, I mean literally, sleeping next to a volcano, hanging off the side of helicopters, man, jumping out of planes. [inaudible] what can I say, man? This is crazy.
