Yeah, not sure if any of you have seen this news story, but Rob was a friend of mine. Its so insane, he was posting pictures from Sunday's jump that night, and then yesterday morning... gone. idk. Goes to show the unexpected can happen to people who literally have done this hundreds of times. just sucks. Story for those who are interested.

That's terrible. Vibes. Landing in open water with an open chute is a pretty dangerous circumstance.

Thanks man. Yeah apparently when they found his body he wasn't connected to his chute, so they think that he made an attempt to swim to shore but the water was just so cold and he went under...

He got married a few years back over Burning Man... pretty awesome video

so a guy decides it would be fun to jump out of an airplane and people get surprised when he dies? not saying its not sad, but a lot of people are perfectly entertained doing jigsaw puzzles.

hahahahahahaha it's hilarious because it's true. honestly i think people entertaining themselves with jigsaw puzzles is a lot more sad than someone dying in a skydiving accident. vibes to OP, but just be glad he didn't pass having bored himself to death.
