I’m Such a Jackass I Nearly Died Skydiving!!!

“Jackass: Best and Last” almost ended up being way more literal … ’cause Steve-O says he came inches from death during a skydiving incident that was 100% his fault!
Steve-O spilled the story to our Towanda Robinson and Deven Rall on “The TMZ Podcast,” telling us he was so determined to get the perfect mid-air kiss with his GF on camera, the pair couldn’t get enough separation to deploy their parachutes safely.

Steve-O definitely looked like he was cringing while reliving the ordeal … telling us he couldn’t get stable for the pic, and with his GF locked close to him, they were burning through altitude fast.
They eventually got the shot — but way later than they should have — and Steve-O explained they were incredibly lucky their parachutes opened without colliding or becoming tangled.
The stunt earned Steve-O a serious chewing-out afterward.
He says it was, without question, the closest he’s ever come to dying … which is saying a lot.
Luckily, Steve-O is still around to laugh about it — and plug “Jackass: Best and Last.”
