Don’t know - just read about the stunt that went bad.
What could go wrong?????????????????????
“Flaming globes of Sigmond”
Morbid? Perhaps...but I was always a fan of Jackass (stupid people hurting themselves).
Eventually Darwin wins.
And ‘gravity’: What a b***h...
As if there is a “right way” of setting you own parachute on fire...

Hopefully an Obama voter.
Good luck with that.....Never ceases to amaze me that my taste buds want Chik on Sunday mornings. Have yet to convince them that it ain’t available on Sundays
I suspect that a lot of these “extreme” sports enthusiasts get their money from view on youtube or other media outlets. As a result, in order to keep getting the clicks and eyeballs, they feel compelled to try every more “radical” and dangerous stunts. After all, once you’ve seen one guy with a wingsuit imitate Wile E. Coyote, you’ve seen them all, right?
Sooner or later, Mr. Coyote looks down and sees the ground coming to meet him. And despite how it may work out in the cartoons, you don’t get to crawl out of the hole and dust yourself off.
Only two things fall out of the sky... Bird sh*t and fools.
“Hold ma beer and watch this”
2015 Darwin Award nominee.
How did this guy ever make it to 73?
The stupid! It burns!
It’s a real spectacle, but you can only do it once.
Yep. Definitely a move that would make a good candidate for that award though I would imagine though he may have already reproduced.

Can’t buy a thrill
Statistics I read a while back said that 10% of all base jumpers have died while base jumping.
That seems to indicate that your chances of dying if you participate in the sport exceed 1 in 10, since at least some of the other 90% are still active and have not yet died of old age.
1 in 10!! Would you continue to fly in airplanes if your chances were 1 in 10 of eventually dying in a crash? Would you go swimming if your chances were 1 in 10 of eventually drowning? Yikes.
It’s an addiction, like heroin, with these people.
“Definitely a move that would make a good candidate for that award though I would imagine though he may have already reproduced.”
Two generations...
Oh well, these things tend to take care of themselves.
AKA adrenaline junkie. It makes them feel alive.
