"US daredevil dies in Yosemite jumping accident"

"Part of me says it's kind of crazy to think you can fly your human body... Another part of me thinks all of us have had the dream that we can fly. Why not chase after it? Maybe it brings you to some other tangent. Chasing after the unattainable is the fun part."

His last Facebook post, on May 12, shows a picture of his dog in a mountainous landscape and the caption: "Miss Whisper. Yosemite Dog."

Tough luck for those two guys. But this seems like a good place to post the long version of this.

The action starts at around 1:20 and if you can watch in hi-def on a fair sized screen it's awesome.

The valley floor in Yosemite is so ridiculously beautiful it's too much. It's the standard for all idealized cinematic edens. I took a visiting British friend there and the reaction was "oh, so that's where that comes from." Right. Deja viewed. Personally, I prefer the high country and the other side of the Sierras. Also, way less traffic.
