"Don't tell Mom", a TV commercial

Recommended Posts

I could have sworn that I first saw this commercial over 2 years ago, and commented on it here, but who knows.

I was channel surfing and came upon a commercial where Dad and the kids are doing numerous "dangerous" things, and Dad keeps telling the kids, "Don't tell Mom".

The last scene is a tandem skydive landing in the distance, and then it shows a closeup of the instructor, (Mom) taking her helmet off and releasing her long head of hair, and telling her (fairly young) son, (who is in a jumpsuit too and implied to be the passenger), "Don't tell Dad."

Not a bad commercial, but no wonder people think kids can skydive.

Anyone remember when this first came out or who did the filming or skydiving, and where?

Well, they can…

USPA dictates 16yo for tandems, but not every DZ is USPA-affiliated. Mike Mullins' kids start AFF at like 11 I think.

Here in Australia, APF allows tandems as young as 12.

It showed up here last fall. No discussion on who did it.
But the commercial only shows a generic landing. The actors are already on the ground when the scene cuts to them.
