My son pulled up the full flight video after breakfast. He loses the chute at liftoff, then things get pretty grim.

Yep, human lawndart.
Sad waste of life.

Yes, it looks like he had a 'Snake River Canyon' liftoff (re: the chute), but at least Evel's chute stayed attached during his botch river jump. Looks like Mike was not so lucky.

Yes, sad.

I heard a news report that claimed he was ejected from the craft and fell to his death. But here's the full prang video.

I've been watching this guy for a couple of years. There was never any doubt it would end this way.

He made a divot.

What's the most stupid about this whole thing is that he could have accomplished his purpose by renting a Cessna 150 and gone up to double the altitude the rocket took him to with no problem and it would be safer to boot......

Now we're going to have to put up with "THEY sabotaged his spaceship to keep him from learning the TRUTH!" forever.

:chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Of course, now the 'committee' is gonna come visit you for even mentioning this little tidbit! ;)
