Looks to me like he'd have made it if he had forgotten about the parachute and instead had hung onto the jetski.

The earth under New Orleans is disappearing for a couple of reasons other than natural subsidance. Silt that once replenished the delta is now diverted by upstream damming, and the wetlands which served as a buffer against the forces of tides and storms are steadily disappearing.
Its also about the dumbest place imaginable to build a city

Thank you
I choose this in a morbid funk, Then I watched the video,!
That is how I always feel when I return, I need to get to the ditch
To rejuvenate my life.

Sorry if this is startlingly rude, your choices speak to your having a deep soul that
I hope you feel is twisted into the fabric of the collective consciousness.
I have only spent a year in Boulder a long time ago,
Oh ... I m not sure you care I guess, I checked the pm feature .
BITD, there were kinda groups? (Or Senders 'n The slacker brigade in the background.)
Some how divided on scary lines, that deified, explanations some times it was based on avoiding some one as much as wanting to climb with some one. There were enough
Zones for the groups to spread out and not be in each other's way or ever even acknowledge one another in some weird 'snottiness'. It was not unfriendly just avoiding interaction it was met with like minded nods of approval at the end of the day under headlamps at the bumpers sorting gear and beers.
The two camps mixed it up but did not share Boulder canyon with out some 'issues '.
So when one was in the high country the other group was pulling down on that groups projects and moving draws higher to psych out the others who were left to guess two things
A) who did it? & B) how to do the moves to the new high point?!!
Anyway just thinking that is quite a choice of nickname it made me want to ask you
But again you schooled me so if your old enough to know wtf I'm talking about
You effi n B. Iworkedhard on that siht!! If in fact you are like wtf ?... Carry On.
Thank you, For the things that you post this visit to Yosemite Valley was great,

The irony (?) is incredible.
Condolences to family and friends and I mean it.
Strikes me that we (my friends and I) did those same things but we were somehow more understanding of the boundary or just lucky? I don't know.
Sheesh.

These kids (to me) were too wrapped up in exploiting their adventures instead of enjoying them.
We've all done sh#t that should have ended in a dirt nap but, who cares? It's the experience that counts, not telling the world about it.
I haven't always been good but, I've always been lucky.
RIP vloggers.

Happens everywhere. A little incident at Snoqualmie Falls, from the Seattle Times a while ago:
...... But there have been accidents as well. In September 1982, a Bellevue man scaled a 5-foot fence and climbed down a grassy slope in an attempt to retrieve a camera case on the ledge. He then slipped and fell 200 feet to his death. A friend of mine and his buddy were hiking at the base of the falls and stumbled on a suicide's body.

Very sad. Just occurred to me minutes ago this is the same Charlotte Fox of the 1996 Everest tragedy, Into Thin Air and the film, Everest.

Happens everywhere.
I lived for many years in North Vancouver, just a few blocks from Lynn Canyon. It was a popular spot -- suspension bridge, swimming holes, hiking trails...
But it was a canyon, with plenty of steep drop-offs, and the swimming holes were interspersed with plenty of rapids and waterfalls. There were fences and warning signs, but people died there regularly.
Perhaps the most bizarre was late one night when a group of teens decided the best place to do some drinking was in a parking area. When a police car entered for a check, the kids scattered from their car and ran, with two of them jumping a nearby fence. One of them survived.
