RIP Dean Potter

RIP. I generally think "tough crap" when mountain climbers don't make it or skiers die when in areas they aren't supposed to be.

This is doing what the suit is designed to do. Dangerous but seems a hell of a like more fun than freezing your ass off on a mountain for months.

 

It was a murder by the airline industry. They can't have people body-surfing the friendly skies. Investigate!

 

What if you worked in a skyscraper and could fly home? That would be a pretty cool commute.

 

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

 

Meh, should have tried to jump off the Eiffel Tower. Oh, wait ...

(Spoiler alert: The guy dies. If you don't want to see a man die, don't watch)

P.S., the guy was breaking the law too, and was supposed to use straw dummies. His friends were even trying to get him not to do it. Nope.

 

The thing I find odd is that he and his partner both died in the same crash. It isn't like they were tethered.

 

Baron thinks that since the guy was expected to represent his workplace well at all times, his family is entitled to worker's comp.

 

Back in those days, worker's comp was the shovel that the company handed to the next of kin so they could bury him.

 

They didn't survive, but the GoPro did.
