@stylesbradley: Having balls is getting yourself out of a situation you couldn't avoid while using courage to do so. Being stupid is voluntarily putting yourself in such a situation for no good reason.
Not a chance in hell he was properly oriented upon takeoff.
In no way the wind was a significant factor in this crash. Stupidity, a poor takeoff angle (and piss poor planning), and too much speed were the causes of his crash. In other words: he fucked everything up that could be fucked up. Fool.
The width of that landing ramp looks about 8 feet wide, has anyone ever said, "Gee, I think we should make it 20 feet wide"? Am I the only one thinking this?
@jburr36 Butch did have the talent, but he never should have made the jump because it was to windy that day. I was there and witnessed this I was on the top level of the parking garage next to the sky walk that he was jumping, we could see when he was going over the top he wasn't going to make it ~R.I.P Butch...
To be totally honest when I die I'd rather have people talk about me just like I was alive and be real rather than having a bunch of fake people saying "oh how sad" when they don't really mean it.
@Bakersfieldsucks777 So you're that much of an attention whore you'd rather be dead to the point that nothing, zilch, nothing-beyond-nothing, exists, but .. in some dimension (the living dimension) people say you, a being who will never again exist again or be seen, or heard, did some good shit?
His crew didn't want him to do it but I think the jump was delayed the day before because of wind and Butch didn't want to let everybody down again so he went for it. I remember when this happened, I was 8.
he was an experienced stunter, so he knew what was coming here. how tragic, but an occupational hazard here. god rest his soul, and a talented soul at that.
People being pissed off about posting comments on this guy dieing are stupid. He was the one who chose to do it. If I were to do something as dumb as that, and die, I would let people mock it, and in turn mock me, because it was my choice.
Even if he had landed on the ramp he would only have just caught the bottom of it. His take off speed was much too high, he only needed to get over the top. Altogether a pretty amateurish attempt that sadly led to his death. So badly prepared that he may have qualified for a Darwin Award
Fail. A) make a MUCH wider landing ramp. B) Don't jump in a crosswind even though they are all counting on you to do it. C) Shit, I got no C... RIP Homie. Can't really feel all that bad on this one. That was just straight up stupid.
@bkxnyxmxx, you say "f... haterz" on your profile, but you use a hateful term "red necks." So who is the hater? Oh, it's okay when people hate, just not people of your race. I see. Why don't you go back to your shit country rather than going to other countries and trying to change things to be like the shit you came from. We don't need inferior crap like you.
I was there when this happend he wasn't going to do the jump cause of the wind think how much the wind was blowing that high up in the air ,but he did anyway, and he didn't die instantly he died on the way to the hospital and i know that for a fact, so there was no way any of you seen him in an interview talking about the crash.
How boring would life be if everyone died when they didn't need to ? There are parachutes you don't need to dive without them inviting death. As for getting " pretty much no pussy " Now there's a great reason to expedite death ! Why have such strong desires to prove one's machismo ? Could it be insecurity ? Could it be like the 5 foot 1 inch guy driving the 7 foot tall truck ?? oh no..
@doable1 oh and by the way this guy died from this, his name was Butch Laswell , look it up. think before you speak and portray yourself as a complete twat
HE WAS LAID TO REST @ PARADISE MEMORIAL GARDENS IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA . . . he flat landed on pavement from 55 ft high. His trachea was crushed and he suffered many other internal injuries. Paramedics began transporting him back to Las Vegas in the ambulance, then transferred him to a flight for life helicopter just off the highway. He died in the helicopter while in route to the hospital.
That was very stupid of him. All they want is fame and glory and then you get something like this happening. Anybody could tell that he would never make that jump.... (Hes too fat...) and he's totaly pushing it! AHHH! It makes me sooo angry seeing losers trying to show off.
Wow, I had never seen or heard about this one until today. What I don't understand is how he missed it by so much?! He was waaaay over the landing ramp on that jump. Normally these guys are much more precise about ramp locations.
wow i think that hotel is gonna get sued for everything they got and more by his family. if that was my dad or brother or family of somesort i would sue them, then after i get the money laugh at them for being homeless then throw them in a cold lake in the winter and watch them try and swim =)
i was there when that happened. it was in mosquite nv. he didnt want to the jump because of the wind and the hotel made him do it because of his cantract and all the people that had come to see it. at the time it was the highest jump ever attemted. he died when he ate the handle bars with his neck. it didnt kill him instantly it took a few minutes of him choking on his own blood. terrible wreck, i wouldnt call it an accident.
k i was there wen this happened n they did take the wind speed into consideration and they tried to talk him out of doing the jump he wanted to do it anyway so he did
No unfortunately he did not survive. That guy is on a special internet website dedicated to those who have died while doing dirt bike jumps/stunts. He got hurt real bad, even though you may not think so. And it's very difficult to live through injuries like he suffered.
looks pretty serious to me. I wouldn't say it was impossible to live through. But I wish I knew cause half you guys say he died then the other half say he's still alive. I bet that hurt like a motherfucker either way. god damn.
I want to this event i was about only four years old.
