    Felix Baungartner has died at 56, after getting a heart attack (or stroke) on a paraglider and crashing into a pool...



    The thread's title also could have been: Poor hotel employee struck by a flying neo-nazi.


    I didn't know but his record was broken 2 years later by a much older and rich Google executive:

  2. 150,000 people die everyday in the world....

    I hate it when a so-called celebrity or important person dies and they get mentioned and talked about in a magical glowly light. An individual human life is relatively very temporary and meaningless in history. Regardless of who you are. The world ticks on and things evolve, revolve, morph, gets replaced.

    I know, but:

    1. He was famous.
    2. He was also a neo-nazi, so good riddance.
    3. He died in an interesting way almost killing an innocent hotel employee on the way down.
    4. He died of a heart attack and not by the dangerous shits that he usually did.
    5. This is the health sub and 56 is young to die.

    So as you see, plenty of reasons to talk about it...
