OH NO.....this one is really, really bad. I don't even know what to write...
Why is this one really, really bad? What makes it worse than all others?
No disrespect to Hank at all. My sincere condolences to all the family and friends involved.
It hurts worst when it's close to home, but this doesn't diminish the badness that happens to others. They had family and friends too.

To Hank and the other folks who are devastated at the loss of their friends:
My sincere condolences for your losses. May you and the others who are grieving find comfort in each others love.
I too am amazed and dismayed when people seem to feel the need to post their personal commentary in these types of threads. Hank and others, I'm so sorry that your grief was compounded by that sh*t when you have the least defences against it. Thanks for sticking it out and staying here.
To those clueless people: If you really feel that your personal opinion is so important that the world just simply cannot get along without hearing it, just start another fuc&ing thread. How hard is it?

you really don't know what you're talking about phylp
anyway this thread was doing ok until you started calling people out again
i just wanted to know what it meant when someone said 'he took one for the team' and i got the usual bullshit from the usual people.
i certainly never meant any disrespect and at the time there was just the link to the moab article and the comment about the 'team'
but good luck with your policing of the internet

Seems out of respect for both the living and the dead, it would be good at some point in this thread to clarify that this is not Sean Leary, it is about someone else.

I'm not exactly sure anymore for whom this thread is intended, but for many of us "looking in" our hearts are aching for all that have recently been taken from this community of adventurers.
Very sad for everyone...tragic deaths seem to exponentially increase the emotional confusion in the aftermath...even for those removed from the close friends and family. A time for grace and assuming positive intentions as folks share their reactions.
Condolecences for family and friends and may peace and serenity soon find you again.

I don't BASE jump but a lot of my friends do. It's been a tough year. I didn't know Kevin very well but he was well liked and always had a smile on his face. Cheers Mate. RIP

hey there say, my (i know i have not met you personaly, hank) dear friend 'hankster':
i am so very awful sad to hear and see this...
my deep condolences, as to this terrible loss... i have just seen this, just now this moment...
i am at loss for words... i know it seems 'like mear words', but it is all i can offer:
god bless, love, prayers, and anything i can do, for you and your wife, and the family of the deceased, at this awful time...
i am glad you did pull account... how else, can friends see and send out love... love is found in so many places...
*am a bit confused from all the post, was there another death, just before this? as in days? i have been off line...
if so, please accept my condolences, to that family as well...

The distance from the top of the cliff to the spot where Morroun's body was found was estimated at 400 feet. "In the course of doing his aerial acrobatics, I don't think he gave himself enough time to get the canopy fully deployed."
