Fun fact: gravity isn't real.

Damn RIP. I watched a YouTube video about that event not long ago. Guess he pushed his luck 1 too many times.

I think everyone got roped into that event. Seems like it was the most advertised non-major sport event in decades.

Dying in a paragliding event isn’t tragic.
That being said that dude has bigger stones than I do.

I don't really consider paragliding all that dangerous. Unless he just did something he shouldn't have been doing.
It isn't the gliding that's dangerous, it's the sudden stop when you crash that is.

Bet he didn't love dying. The Extreme sports lifestyle rocks, until you die from it. Same for Ken Block and so many others.

Damn terrible news. Dude is a legend.
Highly recommend watching his sky dive from 127k feet, insane.

That’s a ripe old age for a stratosphere jumper!
