More cleaning out of the gene pool. WTF is wrong with people? Are they so bored in their cushy lives they need this sort of attention at risk of death?
Not graphic but does show the last foolish moments of a skyscraper stunt. We've all seen these gut-churning stunts with handstands and pullups on dangerous terraces and bridges and so forth. Well this moron paid the ultimate price. Video shows the idiot attempting pullups on the edge of a 62 story building. Wet fingers and gravity were apparently too much for the narcissist. Nothing graphic in the video, just shows his last moments of failure. http://tribunist.com/news/youtuber-dies ... source=amn Guess the question is why has society devolved into such moronic behavior and narcissism? _________________ I defend the 2A.

Wow, crazy. What is it they say? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. It’s a shame he died, but that’s the risk he knew he was taking.

I saw this on a blog a couple days ago. Apparently his death was covered up and it was only after he had no social media activity for a month is when it finally was confirmed.

If you read enough in modern history books and newspapers it seems that people like this have been around for a long time.
Only thing missing is a logical explanation of WHY? Personally I think it's a matter of shorted out brain cells. _________________ "I've learned from the Dog that an afternoon nap is a good thing" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother" - William Shakespeare |

Really stupid people never learn from their mistakes, ignorant people eventually learn from their mistakes and smart people learn from the mistakes of others.....

If I was 35 years younger, I'd do the wingsuits in a heart beat. But that stuff, hanging off of buildings? Naw... I'll pass.

The adrenaline junky thing is real. I don’t think this guy was stupid, and idiot maybe but not stupid. Their brain craves the rush of living life on the edge. I have known a few guys like this in my life. One of them was a good friend. He was constantly doing dumb shit. I don’t hang with him much because it drives me nuts and I just don’t understand putting your life in harms way for no good reason. He is by no means dumb.

People have their own level of adventure seeking, and I don't make judgements about other people's mental capabilities just because theirs are weirder or less-weird than mine. The guy who was doing pull-ups 700 feet above the sidewalk? I can't even imagine that. I am not particularly afraid of heights, but THAT makes my stomach flip to imagine standing on the lip of a building 700+ feet high... let alone hanging from my fingers. But hanging from a paraglider's strings 10,000 feet up doesn't bother me a bit. Rather, I desire that. I -try- to not look down on people for their choices, but sometimes the "WTF?!" factor is too high for me. This one? Naw. He was a daredevil thrill seeker... No big deal. Except I would have been pretty pissed off if I was walking on the sidewalk below him. |
