He HAD balls. The guy died doing some crazy free fall experiment with a climbing rope. It was successful the first time, but failed the second.

DAAAAMN!!!!!
I'm not a climber, don't want to be and never will want to be but I thought the whole idea behind it was to maintain 3 points of contact with the rock? I suppose he was just secure with his skill.
Either way, he sure lived that whole "Do or Do Not, There is no try" thing. He did and did until one day he did not.
BTW, I bet Spider Man was jealous of that speed.

Re: You saw the tumbler? Now watch this.
Dan Osman died November 23, 1998 at the age of 35 after his rope failed while performing a "controlled free-fall" jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park. Osman had come back to Yosemite to dismantle the jump tower but apparently decided to make several jumps (over a few days) before doing so.[1] The failure was investigated by the National Park Service with assistance from Chris Harmston, Quality Assurance Manager at Black Diamond Equipment. Harmston concluded that a change in jump site angle probably caused the ropes to cross and entangle, leading to the rope cutting by melting.[2] Miles Daisher, who was with Osman when he made the jump, stated that the ropes used in his fatal jump had been exposed to inclement weather — including rain and snow — for more than a month before the fatal jump, but that the same ropes were used for several shorter jumps on the previous and same day.[1]

Re: You saw the tumbler? Now watch this.
Yeah it was a sad day in the climbing community when he died. He was a great climber and was a great loss when he passed. The rangers and climbers do not get along in Yosemite. Its sad really how much they dislike one another. The ropes were left out for a long time in the weather. He was arrested for a outstanding warrant and when he got out he was told he had to go back and clean up all the ropes that were left up on the rock. When he got back to the Valley he started jumping on them again.... and that is when the tragedy happened.

Re: You saw the tumbler? Now watch this.

There is a fine line between having "huge balls" and being "extraordinarily stupid", and the man in that video didn't know where the line was drawn.

Re: You saw the tumbler? Now watch this.
I used to climb and one day a guy was filmed a commercial and took about 4 falls on purpose for the camera. Well he never checked the gear and it popped on his last one and he got pretty banged up. The more you do something the more laxed you get. Dan was an awesome climber but at that level of danger its only a matter of time before you f-up.

I was with a rock climber GF at the time.. I remember he died doing a "slack rope" walk.. Not a jump of any type.. He strung rope or webbing across a gap and would walk across.. The webbing or rope was left out in the weather and it broke, He left behind a daughter I believe..
Sad..
