Skydiving Mice

Microsoft Uses Daredevil Rodent to Plug PC Peripherals

This latest viral video from Microsoft captures a daredevil white mouse named Harvey on camera as he skydives out of a plane at 10,000ft. Don’t worry, the adorable little adrenaline junkie with the rainbow parachute makes a very smooth landing.

The tagline at the end of the video reads: “Expect more from your mouse.”

I can’t believe the poor little creature didn’t suffer a heart attack. Perhaps he wasn’t the first mouse to attempt the jump. I didn’t see a note saying “No animals were hurt during the making of this video.”
