Damn, you always see those videos of those guys getting extremely close to the landscape.

I have a problem with this when a guy has children. No children, no problem.

As much free climbing as he's done, I'm surprised he lived this long.

I'd guess they were wearing GoPro or similar cameras to capture the flight.

Less "flight" and more "massive impact with planetary body".

BASE jumpers Dean Potter and Graham Hunt died after attempting a wingsuit flight from Taft Point, a 7,500-foot promontory that overlooks Yosemite Valley and El Capitan.

BASE jumping is illegal in Yosemite National Park.

Yosemite Search and Rescue (YOSAR) initiated a hasty search, but the rangers were unable to locate the pair overnight.

On Sunday morning, a state police helicopter was able to spot both bodies from the air...Two rangers were then airlifted to the site to perform the recovery.

She, or his estate should be required to repay the expenses involved in the search and recovery.
TPoS. He was probably all snorted up on the marijuanas.
