Oregon Man is such a cheap knockoff.
Florida Man would DIVE into the caldera wearing a Cape and carrying an alligator...

He’ll probably kill himself for real if no one recorded that for YouTube.

A long time ago, a friend and I foolishly climbed down to the water from the rim and were very nearly killed by a rock slide. A breathtakingly beautiful place, but dangerous for idiots like myself.

It takes a few minutes to fall 800 feet, I would presume.
I guess those public trails aren’t marked as dangerous.
There must be a deep body of water all the way down to cushion his fall, but not too deep.
If he had hit the water surface tummy first, it would have been all over.

Oh. He fell into a cold swimming pool. When the word CALDERA is used, I picture a jagged, jumbled horrendous place of fire and deadly gas and lava and smoke. He’s still lucky he apparently landed in a fortunate manner, but it beats landing in a suburb of Hades.

It takes a few minutes to fall 800 feet, I would presume. That depends on how many things you hit on the way down, how high you bounce each time, and how long it takes for each branch to bend and give way...

Lemme guess. Too stupid to stay on the well marked trail. Too stupid to watch where he was going. Too stupid trying to get the most over the top selfie. Another stupid hiker in a long list of stupid hikers. Too stupid in general that he risked rescuers’ time and lives.

Gravity once again rears it’s ugly head.
I’m guessing that the rescuers were rappelling. Not clear. It says the helicopter aircrew heard him yelling from another 200 feet below. They didn’t hear him from the helicopter. They are quite loud.

Ouch! Sounds like a Wiley Coyote cartoon.
That’s one of many reasons I would never consider Bungee Jumping, besides the chance of dislocation, of course.
If I was of lower bodyweight, I would like going for a (tandem)
parachute jump. I’m sure I would never forget it!

Well, if you're running from bigfoot, you gotta go somewhere.
