Chief Deputy Ryan Spurling said the skydiver performed a stunt too close to the ground, causing his body to slam "into the earth with great force." That will get you every time. Darn gravity!

If you’re the sole breadwinner you shouldn’t be taking unnecessary chances. There are a lot of dangerous jobs but skydiving is recreational.

It’s not the fall that kills you. it’s the sudden stop at the end.

Same thing happened at the airport where I fly a jump plane; guy was hot-dogging it coming down and at about a hundred feet while spinning went horizontal with his ‘chute and wound up dumping the air from his sport ‘chute and came crashing down. Wonder if this guy did the same thing.

Okay, this lover of extreme sports has enough money to have sky-dived 80 times, but couldn’t afford a life insurance policy as the sole breadwinner of his family?

“The page said he was the ‘sole breadwinner’ of his family...”
Sometimes extreme sports IS a person’s career, and it would be tough to give it up if you were good at it.
But I can think of other famous extreme sportsters who died and left families, small children behind. It always bugged me, like “Hey, you have small children now...you don’t get to do this crazy stuff anymore!”

It seems to me the height of selfishness for someone with a family to be engaging in recreational activity that has the high potential for death even if you do everything right. I’m mainly thinking of rock climbers.

You don’t need a parachute to go skydiving. You need a parachute if you want to go skydiving twice.
