i hope he lives a good long and fulfilling life .

maybe one day , when he's hanging around the old folks home , he can say to himself " i guess i wasn't that depressed after all ".

all thoughts I had of doing regular base jumping (nevermind wingsuit) went out the window when I saw this:

considering the relatively small number of people who do BASE, that's quite a fatality rate…

He was just on Conan. Crazy that all he suffered was a broken fibula, ankle and torn acl.
