BillyVance 35 #3 February 21, 2013 Didn't look like 45 feet to me, looks more like 20-25 feet. I've dived from 45 feet into a lake and that looked higher than what this kid fell. Then again, snow fucks up your depth perception. At any rate, the kid is lucky he fell on a steep slope which helped mitigate the impact somewhat. I'm reminded of the video of the stupid fucker trying to hit a bicyclist with the car door and falling out right into an oncoming car. Ouch.

Bignugget 0 #5 February 22, 2013 Lol, one of the comments to that article gave me a chuckle. The article said, ""He did hang on for awhile, but then he had to drop." "He did hang on for awhile, but then he had to drop. Excerpt from the upcoming Owen Hart biography." hahah. Cold but clever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From the video I estimated that he fell from 9.19 sec to 10.48 secs, which would give about 8,16 m/~27 feets of distance.Your rights end where my feelings begin.

DJL 235 #8 February 22, 2013 Yeah, I don't really call this a Darwin thing. Horsing around as a youth is what makes you a capable adult, he got bit and learned something without dying so I'd say that he did just fine."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niki1 2 #13 February 23, 2013 QuoteQuoteDreply] From the video I estimated that he fell from 9.19 sec to 10.48 secs, which would give about 8,16 m/~27 feets of distance. Falling 9 or 10 seconds and only 27 feet? More like 971' to 1138'. I got 1.6 seconds which might be around 35 to 40 ft. As he was hanging on before he fell, I'm wondering what was going through his mind. Besides, "Oh,shit! Oh, shit!".Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done. Louis D Brandeis Where are we going and why are we in this basket?
