I read they tried to fly through a crease in the rocks, but to quote Agent 86, “They missed it by that much”.

They died a perfect death.

I saw the part about landing on his head at age 5 and thought that explained a lot. (Among my circle of friends we would incredulously ask someone who did something stupid: “What, were you dropped on your head as a child?”)

I get my exercise mowing my 1/5th acre kingdom with a reel mower.
I wish they had never invented the gas power mower.
My neighbors are out mowing all weekend long and after a few hours it really gets irritating - especially Sundays.

They deliberately tried to go between a narrow passage but missed and smashed into the rocks. Others have done this where they try to skim the surface but get smacked down and killed. They must have been a mess of pieces to pick up.

My pit crew has been diligently working on my chair for the Lazy Boy Nationals.

Real Pro ULTRA™ 3D Massage Chair EP-MA70KX Black EP-MA70KX
4.1

“Enjoy a 3D massage with relaxing, multi-directional rollers Soothing, double-heated rollers simulate hot-stone therapy

Six pre-set programs offer deep, Shiatsu, hip and other massages

Choose from eight massage chair manual programs to match your day and mood”

They believe they can get a fridge installed, with cold beer and a telescoping arm for a flat screen. We are hoping we can come in under the maximum weight limit. I am being told by my sponsor that unless they can reduce the weight of the rollers while maintaining the same high quality massage, I will have to spend a week eating salad.

I am not happy about that, but will do anything to get the coveted first row.

I hear you. And, even worse, some of them aren't satisfied with mowing just every other week. Much of my lawn is planted into clover which gets by just fine with a mowing every three weeks or so, even longer if it doesn't rain much.

Instead of having some gas monster which makes a big footprint in my garage and requires constant maintenance, I have a light 40# mower which hangs up easily and needs no more maintenance than an occasional blade sharpening and grass unclogging.

Simple definition, IDIOTS.

...and that is the interesting part. Were they jumping using timing to open the chutes, depending on visual cues or some other means. Park folks assumed they launched at dusk or dark to avoid being discovered.

[ErnBatavia]

I read this morning they were using “wingsuits” and tried to fly though a narrow crevice — apparently missing....splat.

[wita]

...or as previously mentioned did they run into solid rock?

I guess he found out he was not Harry Potter.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

There’s a reason these things are called “extreme.” Its because you put yourself in danger by doing them. This guy did and died, just like a lot of other people who engage in risky behavior. That’s not callous or cold, its just reality.

[Baynative]

You rock!!.

I'm just going simple with a factory stock sleep number bed set at 55.

#30 See what having a rider lawnmower will lead to...

[Organic Panic]

Why would anyone jump off a perfectly good cliff?

Because the valley isn’t there.
