Whoops

A man has died after plunging from a 14th floor balcony at a Florida hotel after his parachute failed to open in time during a base jump. 

Emergency services were called out yesterday evening to deal with reports of a man having fallen to his death.

      Dropping his ashes from the same floor will have less impact.

    As he was falling, people on each floor kept hearing him say, "So far, so good".

    In his 20s? Maybe this incident happened before he passed on his stupid genes to the next generation.

    On the 14th floor...BALCONY??? WTF??? As a jumper I can tell you 1st hand you WILL need those 14 floors just to clear the side of the building BEFORE yanking the cord (yes, I know toss yer pilot)!!! Sheer drops have a habit of sucking you in if you're caught on the backside of a rotor...yes, you will meet yer new friend Darwin.
