Around Azeroth: The downward spiral
Um ... I somehow don't think that parachute is going to do much good when you're being sucked into the churning waves of hell. "I don't know how it was possible, but somehow the boundaries at the Maelstrom didn't work," writes Magitha of Get Fragged Allstarz on Tarren Mill (EU-H). "So I decided to use my engineering cunning combined with my shamanistic skills to get into Deepholm my own way. Danger dog is never afraid!"

Now that is funny.
Perfect example of a fun game glitch moment.

I can't look into the Maelstrom without feeling sick. That wyvern ride down into it? I go AFK till it's over.

So what happened at the end???? did he died? or he just appeared in deepholm? I guess from "So I decided to use my engineering cunning combined with my shamanistic skills to get into Deepholm my own way." he may have just splat in deepholm... cool pic! always wanted to do that but never encounter this glitch :(

Being the one who took the screeny, I think I can answer this. I encountered a bug during the Eye of the Storm quest, and decided to try my luck and jump towards the maelstrom with nitro boosts and a parachute. I ended up falling through the maelstrom, but not exactly into Deepholm. Rather just a regular rocky bottom of instant death.

As a shaman with cunning engineering skills I would jump...

as a toon I would just jump for the heck of it... after you die and you press the release button one of two things can happen... the first one is you corpse run or go for number two which is take the rez sickness. I think the screenshot is very cool!

Fear is a survival instinct.
