I wonder about calling these things accidents as they are typically high risk activities designed to challenge danger.

Parents to kids: “If a world record-holding professional skier jumped famously off a 255-foot cliff would you do it too?”.

Maybe that’s the reason it was closed...

What a waste. I’m sorry for the loss to his family and friends.

Sounds like an adrenaline junkie who lost. Very sad for his kids.

But, hey,
...he died doing what he loved...
was I the first to say it?

Did anyone here read the whole article or bother to read anything else about him?....Just asking
From what I read, after the cliff jump 5 years ago he dialed back the extreme element of his sport....
..he had just taken a job with this resort....and the day he died was out having fun with a friend....
..actually on a snowboard....and the fluke snowlide happened.
The guy sounds grounded in his Chrisitanity and folks say he was a really good guy.
Did anyone read any of this.....I think you should.

Stupid is as stupid does. He has made the ulitmate assumption of responsibility for the consequences of poor decision making.
Gotta thin the herd somehow.
