That happened to somebody while I was in Rio... sounds like another urban myth, but I seem to recall having people at the hostel who'd witnessed it.
Although in that case - I have a (possibly false/distorted) memory it was the pilot who wasn't attached? And let himself drop off almost immediately, knowing it was a softer landing... leaving the tourist to pretty much "do their best".

Edit: figured something like that might appear in news/travel-stories... and yeah, found this - which seems to match my memory, and around the time I would have been there:

I'm pleased I run an ad-blocker so they get no benefit from running crap like that.

@jegga Surprising to think that Huffington Post used to be considered a news site. Now it’s just a wank rag for the terminally superficial.
