Paria Canyon, AZ. (VIDEO) He was a good guy. All BASE jumpers and wingsuit fliers are very interesting people. They come from a wide variety of backgrounds but all share a desire to push their personal limits and the limits of the human body. Flying is very addicting, and sometimes they push it too far, but that's a choice they can make on their own. If it's worth their life to them, then so be it. |

Paria Canyon, AZ. (VIDEO) Very sad. In mountain biking, we recently had a rider pass away from a crash during a race in colorado. There's never any guarantees. You can die from proximity flying, you can die mountain biking too. Or you can die from just living too long! I say: Do big things, your body isn't the end all be all of your existence. If you always hide from risk and danger, you're not going to be experiencing much. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17456755 I can hear the calls now... FAA registration of all Wingsuits! FAA inspectors have to present before any base jump. All to keep you safe from yourself. |

Paria Canyon, AZ. (VIDEO) Okay, here is the story... Dude was falling from a cliff using a wingsuit (on purpose). The video I linked below contains footage of the dude who died along with his buddies. I am not sure which one he is. The video description has the name of the dead guy, so I assume he is in the video. The video is the exact canyon that the dude died in. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64077170 News story: espite continuing efforts by rescue personnel, the body of a wingsuit jumper remained trapped in the steep, icy terrain of Paria Canyon, the Coconino County Sheriff's Office said. "Today’s attempts to recover the body of the man who died while wingsuit flying in Paria Canyon were unsuccessful," Erika Wiltenmuth, a spokeswoman for the agency, said late Thursday afternoon. "Our search and rescue coordinator continues to meet with assisting agencies to discuss plans and options for a recovery of the body while maintaining the safety of the recovery crew." The body of Mathew Kenney, 29, of Santa Cruz, was spotted in the canyon walls about 15 miles into the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness Area near the Arizona-Utah line, where he had been wingsuiting Tuesday with friends, the Sheriff's Office said.

No sense in risking the safety of others for a corpse. |

Paria Canyon, AZ. (VIDEO) When that rare mishap occurs, no one usually walks away. So what? People die in car crashes every day. Does that mean we weren't meant to drive? The odds of walking away from a car crash is much more likely than a plane crash. |

Again, so what? The numbers speak for themselves. Tens of thousands die in auto crashes every year. A small handful to a couple hundred die in plane crashes. Using your stunning logic, we were obviously not meant to drive. |

Paria Canyon, AZ. (VIDEO) Thank you for the post; The very core of existence (life) is intimately connected and bound with risk and the very essence of a gamble... This apparently applies to the entire chain-of-being; from amoeba's to invertebrates, thru vertebrates to the Hyper-dimensional chain-of-being; Angels, Arch-Angels; Seraphim; Cherubim; Thrones up to the One GodHead itself (!) Perhaps we shouldn't say; What came first the chicken or the egg but; "Risk or Being-Existence?" Some part of me 'Winks' at the late Mr Matthew Kenney and realizes he will NEVER again be 'late' again (!) but way-ahead of the rest of us (?). Last Edited by Being * gnieB on 01/18/2016 12:06 PM |

If they are lucky they will have a few years of fun before they get squished. I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. ![]() |
