Poor guy, what was he trying to do? The net was up and down... if it was flat it might have worked..... that is CRAZY! I cant belive tehy allowed that!:eek2: :(

10-14-2003, 09:49 PM

That was really sad. But on the other hand, what was the purpose for that retarded stunt? even if he hit that big X, than what?

10-14-2003, 09:51 PM

thats crazy, if that net wasnt there and there was a canyon in the middle that would be a very respectful death, but thats like breaking your leg on the parade lap or soemthing:( still crazy

10-14-2003, 10:26 PM

wtf was he trying to do if it had gone right, grab onto that net and hold on??? Looks more like a successful suicide attempt to me. :eek: :confused:

10-15-2003, 09:34 AM

It's weird how the Good Lord weed's out the stupid...:(

wilkin250r

10-15-2003, 10:11 AM

I think I'll jump as high as I can into a big vertical net, trusting only in my ability to grab the net AS I'm flying through the air to keep me from falling to my death.

Does this sound like a reasonable thought process?

Looks like he grew up 30 miles from my home. I did a quick google search on him. He was some kind of professional jumper it sounds like.

I too would like to see this net jump Ive read about it before, but never got to see it.I think they said he did it like 4 or 5 times before it killed him.

Atreyu

04-16-2004, 09:37 PM

He's jumping a dirtbike, off a very steep ramp, into a net. It's kinda interesting. Sorry to hear that he died, but he kinda had it comming.
