What's the story on that parachute guy?

[THE REAL NINJA]

Died parachuting? I thought he commited suicide? Hung himself in the woods... or maybe my memory is wrong and he got his parachute caught in the trees and couldn't get down.

Yeah I was about to say the same thing he did in fact kill himself .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_Man ...James "Fan Man" Miller (1963–2002) was a parachutist and paraglider pilot from Henderson, Nevada, known for his outrageous appearances at various sporting events. His most famous appearance was during a 1993 boxing match between Evander Holyfield and Rid**** Bowe at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. Fan Man made headlines in the USA when he used his Powered paraglider, to fly into the arena, eventually crashing into the ring.............Miller was reported missing on September 22, 2002. On March 9, 2003, a group of hunters found a decomposing body in the Alaskan wilderness, and it was identified as that of James Miller. The death was ruled a suicide.

Although Miller's disappearance and death were reported in the local press, his suicide did not become widely known outside Alaska until later in 2003, when ESPN went searching for him to film a Sportscenter feature to be shown during the tenth anniversary of his stunt.
....this was right around the time of Tua Vs Michael Morrer

Great read, he seems like a cool person

however him flying into the ring was sorta disrespectful towards boxing, but his attitude on life is interesting. I bet you my wallet he's an aries..

Ah, ty for clearing it up. Interesting picture also. BTW, you guys talking about helicoptering and then boating to Antartica. I believe the boating would be required rather than helicoptering because of the air being so thin at that temperature, that the blades can't pick up any wind to keep it's self up. Anyways, cool read.

In Antartica they have no night time, its daytime 24/7.

um not true. 6 months out of the year they have night time 24/7

You sure? I was told by people who have gone to antartica that its always daylight, i guess they forgot to mention what you pointed out.

Now let me see if you aggree. I read a paragraph in a book of Antartica that its the most explored/tested/experiaments -trying to find the right work- in the world.
