Sad, but if you play with fire, eventually you’ll get burned.

I guess that’s what extreme stupidity sometimes brings. RIP

Very sad for his family ... but it seems like it would more newsworthy if he HADN’T died.

"...expectation that he would be able to detach his skis and deploy his parachute, thus enabling him to glide safely to the ground...

Yet again, another example of Darwinian evolution unfolding right before our very eyes.

A few years ago I was supposd to produce a TV special for NBC on Extreme Sports. I contacted the agents of all the most famous extreme athletes I knew about and every single one of them was dead. The special was ditched.

Prayers up.

Here's a video of him ski-base-ing off of a building. It was a successful jump. You can see the skis detach.

As Norm MacDonald said long ago....

At that level you are either “world class champion”

Or “stuff on a cliff”.

This guy went swiftly from being one to the other.

I’m not sure that the word “accident” quite fits a death resulting from purposefully skiing off of a cliff.

As I tell my kids: Always ask yourself "What could go wrong?"

As an example: Your expectation that you would be able to detach your skis and deploy your parachute, thus enabling you to glide safely to the ground.

This expectation could turn out to be faulty. So, what's your Plan B? What? You don't have a Plan B?
