Portuguese thief Igor Dantas, better known as Spiderman due to his habit of climbing tall buildings and robbing unsuspecting apartment dwellers, has to his death after losing his grip at a crucial moment.

 

Footage of the fatal fall occurring is available online, for those of a more ghoulish disposition.

Belongs in Ironic Deaths, no?

Just post links to video deaths, we're all grown-ass men and women around here.

C. Gerald Forsberg died in 2000.
Abilio Couto died in 1998.
Paul Herron died in 2005.

A quick Google search would help.

Quick Google search provides no such information on Forsberg.

Couto did die in 1998, as per a Wikipedia article in SPANISH (Portuguese?) -- no other source was found confirming.

Herron appears to have died in 2005 based solely on this obscure source (http://www.usms.org/people/000FW) and nowhere else on the Web.

Maybe Google.com.uk provides other links. Yeah, I doubt that.

so much for your 'quick google search' smug BS.

I had a jump yesterday. I took my chance, and I felt fairly lucky...

"Lucky Chance" isn't a name for a person, it's a name for trap 4 in the 3:13 at Monmore.

A 10-METRE mistake by organisers nearly killed French free diving champion Guillaume Néry as he dived much deeper than expected.
His guide line on the dive off Cyprus had been set to 139metres rather than the 129m world record depth he was aiming for and he blacked out and nearly drowned as he came to the surface.

Here's a pretty bad-ass video of one of his more successful dives. Enjoy!

Johnny Strange; lived fast and died young, killed in a wing-suit accident at the age of 23. PerezHilton boldly speculates about what might have happened:

 

[...] he died after something went wrong during one of his jumps. :blink:

 

 

Strange could have gone on the mountaineers thread as well, as he managed to ascend the Seven Summits by the time he was 17.

Hope this is the proper thread.

 

Kelly McGarry of Nelson, 33, died on the Ben Lomond Track after falling from his bike about 4.14pm.

Paramedics from Queenstown were flown in to the track, but Mr McGarry died at the scene.

Skydiver Luke Aikins is going to jump out of a plane from twenty thousand feet this weekend, without a parachute. He seems confident he'll land in the thoughtfully provided safety net without too much difficulty....
