    He died doing what he loved; having his head cut off while wearing a wingsuit.

    So somewhere a head just fell to the ground. That must have been quite a site.

    jumping out of a perfectly good plane, never seemed a good idea to me. :D

    but, then, helo auto rotation wasn't any fun either. :eek:

    Never in one during an emergency, but was during practice auto-rotations.

    There's nothing like seeing the ground coming up at over 4000 feet per minute in a practice auto
