He reportedly jumped off a beach hotel balcony with a parachute that didn’t deploy. Police said they were called to the Sunrise Beach Resort to a report of a dead person. Police said when they arrived, they found Timothy Ackerman, 31, of Panama City Beach. They said the case is still open and under investigation, but the preliminary findings indicate Ackerman attempted to BASE jump from the 23rd floor of the building.

I've always wondered what one might feel, even if only for a split second, when shite like this goes down. Also shooting yourself in the head or something.. yikes.

BASE jumping so low that you have zero option to pull a reserve is just asking to die.

So this guy was a local. A friend of mine teaches his 9-year old kid. I heard it was the 14th floor, not the 23rd?
How does a human being get to be so dumb? Ugh. Poor kid.

Tom Petty was there to greet him with a chorus of "Free Fallin'".
The Florida entry gate to the Pearly Gates is probably never boring.

When you’re that low don’t you just hold the chute in your hand and throw it as soon as you jump? Maybe it was tangled up or something?

That's a pretty long time to contemplate your decisions on the way down. Yikes.

Meh... Just to turn this into a HuGe math accident, I'll say if he waited one second to throw his parachute out from his hand then he only had a couple of seconds to think about it...
And here we go!!!!
