- DaBrownGuy13, on 04/26/2009, -0/+6HOLY *****!
- onederwall, on 04/27/2009, -0/+5Its not a bad way to go.
In heaven:
Guy 1: "Yeah, check me out."
"I died in bed surrounded by my family"
McConkey:
"Thats impressive, but..."
"I fell off a MOUNTAIN!"
Kind of makes it hard to feel sorry for the guy.
Just saying. - rbpnps, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4RIP Shane, local of Tahoe. Great skier.
- Regulator980, on 04/27/2009, -0/+4You are definitely right about the wingsuits.

- rbpnps, on 04/27/2009, -0/+3unfortunately, the main person they show (Shane McConkey) died in that exact manner. I think during this same trip.
- seventhc, on 04/27/2009, -2/+4*****, all their B.A.S.E are belong to them
- kcfreels, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2I wish I could digg this twice. Very nice. Looked like they were flying!
- onederwall, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2You would think that they would fall straight to the ground with balls like that.
- DDme, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1Especially if you get to wear this......https://store.bird-man.com/webshop/flight/products ...
- onederwall, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1In Digg-ville they say,
that his small balls,
grew three sizes that day!
btw... I agree. - jakash, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1HD people: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81wksKciOcs&fmt ...
- baajes, on 04/29/2009, -0/+1On March 26, 2009, Shane McConkey was killed while skiing in the Dolomite Mountains in Italy. After performing a double back flip, McConkey intended to glide away in his wingsuit, "a stunt he's executed a number of times," according to a statement from Matchstick Productions, the company whose films McConkey often starred in. But McConkey struggled to release his skis. By the time he got them off, he'd been free-falling for 12 seconds and was too close to the ground for his wingsuit or parachute to do him any good. His parachute did not malfunction, it was never deployed. He died on the scene
- Abscon, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1Coolest thing you can possibly do on Baffin Island. Trust me, I was born there.
And then you can walk underneath the houses on stilts.xD - HyphySoul, on 04/27/2009, -1/+1This is irrelevant to base jumping, but relevant to mountains.

That is how I'd like to climb up a mountain before I base jump off of it one day. - inactive, on 04/27/2009, -2/+1Huh, weird, I was thinking of Baffin Island today.
Also, Holier than Thou by Metallica came on my shuffle just as they jumped off. The music fitted extremely well. - ViscidGobs, on 04/27/2009, -3/+2Baffin Island is in Canada. Red Bull sponsored this jump. I would love to see the damage waiver they have to sign before doing this. Red Bull probably abdicates all responsibility. A bit corporately irresponsible.
- daaaaaaaaaan, on 04/27/2009, -2/+0fun
- thefredsociety, on 04/27/2009, -3/+1I still prefer the squirrel suits :D
- utahband, on 04/27/2009, -3/+1I liked Wizzard's bass jump better
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDt4eBVF8B0 - sonekw, on 04/27/2009, -6/+2It woulda been sweeter if there were ninjas
- executex, on 04/27/2009, -7/+2mmmm someone find some ninjas to base jump.
