I saw this news. It turns out he was one of the two guys that BASE jumped into a PC9. Red Bull video. Having seen the practice attempts at that, I’m amazed he lived this long!
A definite thrill seeker. Clearly not scared of anything.
RIP.

They, as do we all, have fear, addressing and confronting that fear is what breaths life into you. Nelson Mandela put it like this, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear". An intense feeling of being alive comes after confronting your fears, far better than any orgasm.
