Just dayum.

I suppose the liberal's answer would be that his parachute spontaneously combusted due to man-made global warming.

It was a stunt. He deployed his reserve chute but he did it too late.

the chute did not burn - it floated away. It appears that the jumper lit himself and jumped?

It looked more like he set himself on fire rather than the ‘chute.

I read recently about another base jumper who died at age 43 and I ask myself how foolish these people are. If you are going to plan a jump off a bridge, that’s your business but make sure you’re going to survive it. Planning is not that difficult. Same with bungee jumpers. Rule #1 is to make sure the bungee is not so long that you crash into the earth. Assuming I didn’t want this to be the last day of my life or end up a quadriplegic, I would first make absolutely sure such horrors could not happen.

BASE jumping like this would have been better for his health.

Or he could have tried this.

The recent deaths have put a renewed focus on the dangers of base jumping — an activity that veteran Hervé le Gallou described as “more like a suicide than a sport” in an interview with the New York Times. (Le Gallou died during a jump in the French Alps in 2012)

Morbid? Perhaps...but I was always a fan of Jackass (stupid people hurting themselves).

Eventually Darwin wins.

And ‘gravity’: What a b***h...

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.
