He didn’t just find a unicorn – he landed on it from 5,000 feet.
A UK skydiving instructor is going viral for nailing the seemingly impossible — sliding down from the sky to ride an inflatable unicorn pool toy.
Jan Zackl, 32, hit his target perfectly during a recent skydiving competition in Nottinghamshire — the first of many to attempt it.
“I’m coming for you!” Zackl screamed happily as he flew through the air at high speed before smoothly landing on the unicorn which then stopped on the skid.
“I’m not going to lie, this feels really good!” Zackl wrote on Facebook with a clip of his now-viral fairytale landing.
“Sometimes life just gives you slip’n’slides and unicorns! “

He later told The Times of London that it was the second attempt at the stunt — after the first attempt “didn’t go according to plan.”
However, he was the only jumper to successfully land the stunt, which is “only open to people who have done at least 200 jumps before,” his colleague, Hannah Parker, told the UK newspaper.
“It goes very fast and requires a lot of precision. It’s safe and it’s just a smoother landing,” said Parker, a record-breaking professional skydiver.

Zackl has been practicing his skills by jumping out of planes for seven years, he said, with organizers telling The Post that the unicorn jump was from 5,000 feet.
“The first time you jump out of a plane, the feeling of falling through the air is great, but you get used to it. For me landing at speed is the best thing I like to do, that’s the fun part,” he told the UK Times.
