It may not be the ball dropping in Times Square, but it was surely something falling from the sky to mark a new year.
Of course it was Bear Grylls!
The adventurer and survivalist rang in 2023 in a rather unique way: jumping out of a helicopter and sharing it on social media.
“Jumping into 2023 with such a great team…,” Grylls posted on Twitter. “Here’s to many of YOUR great adventures ahead!”

The jump from a helicopter capped off an unusual — for some unusual, maybe normal for Grylls(??) — holiday week. He shared some photos playing ping pong with a tomahawk steak and took a polar plunge, elevating ice swimming in the process.
Want to jump, too?
Skydiving can be a ton of fun — as Grylls alludes to — and there are many options to try.
Grylls tagged AlpSkydive for his adventure and offered a second video just days prior.
“Want to do something crazy???,” he posted. “Come and join us at @alpskydive – tandem jumps on offer all over New Year for those who want to do something totally unique! #heli#tandem#skydive#onlyplaceonearth“
