A fun video of Woody from the movie Toy Story being dropped from a drone with three parachutes to slow his fall.

Using a simple but clever mechanism, a party sparkler attached to the drone acts as a timer to release the parachutes.

When the sparkler burns down, the heat and sparks burn a loop of string, triggering the release of the parachutes.

Three parachutes were used as Woody was quite heavy and it was also reminiscent of the Apollo missions when the capsule returns to Earth.
Woody is filmed both from the ground and the air using the drone.
When he is about to hit the ground he is caught by his owner Andy, oops, I mean Samuel - 8 years old.
