Tributes poured in from all over the globe for Dean Potter, 43, following his death on Saturday.He and fellow BASE jumper Graham Hunt, 29, were killed during a jump at Taft Point, ABC News said, citing Yosemite National Park spokesman Scott Gediman.

Reports filtered through to park officials on Saturday of an accident and a helicopter spotted the two bodies on Sunday.

When Rangers got to them about noon, they were identified as Potter and Hunt, Gediman said.Other media said the pair had been attempting a wingsuit flight from Taft Point but smashed into a rocky outcrop when they tried to fly through a narrow gap in the mountains.

On Potter's official Facebook page -- where he describes himself as "artist, adventurer, athlete" -- extreme sports enthusiasts from all over the world paid tribute to the man admired for his fearlessness and incredible courage.His last Facebook post, on May 12, shows a picture of his dog in a mountainous landscape and the caption: "Miss Whisper. Yosemite Dog."

In an interview with The New York Times in 2008, Potter said: "Part of me says it's kind of crazy to think you can fly your human body."

"Another part of me thinks all of us have had the dream that we can fly. Why not chase after it? Maybe it brings you to some other tangent. Chasing after the unattainable is the fun part."BASE stands for buildings, antennas, spans and Earth that jumpers can parachute from. It is illegal in US national parks.

:lmao


most laws are there for a reason. base jumping in national parks is one of them. these guys shouldn't be hailed as heroes but dumbasses who think they're birds. Not only did this daredevil kill himself, he also got a younger guy killed who tried to be like him. darwin award finalists.

OK, so they thought they could fly. They have at times, just not this last time.

Was Dale Earnhart stupid because he loved to race?

Was Christopher Reeve stupid because he like riding horses?

Was Artimus Lamont Bentley stupid because he was in a car accident? (well maybe yes...)

Unless you are going to live your life in bubble-wrap, and not do anything exciting, death can happen.

Because not base jumping is just so ridiculously overly cautious.

You have to ask yourself, what are my odds of death or dismemberment in each situation

I think the reasonable person can agree the odds of death for an illegal free flying daredevil stunt in a national park with lots of mountainous rocks around is much fucking higher than riding horses.

American daredevil Johnny Strange has died in the Swiss Alps while attempting a wingsuit jump, the latest casualty in what is regarded as one the most dangerous extreme sports.

Strange, 23, found fame at age 17 when he became the youngest person to climb the so-called Seven Summits, referring to the highest peak on each continent.

Strange died after jumping from a 2,000-metre summit in the Swiss canton of Uri wearing a wingsuit, a piece of equipment that resembles human-size bat wings.

He crashed into the ground, likely after losing control mid-jump, authorities in Uri said.

Good thing they have helmets.

Its important for loved ones to find, at the very least, a bloodied head in a helmet for the viewing at the funeral.
Jesus... People actually die doing these things? Amazing.

Hey, what do you really do for fun?
