Mark Sutton dies: Olympics stuntman smashed into mountain ridge at 155mph in wingsuit accident
I'm guessing he would have rather died in his sleep or during sex with some young Hottie.

I wonder what crashing into a mountain at 155 mph does to the human body..
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

A very unfortunate way to go out, but for him personally, probably the best way!
Just imagine, jumping from a helicopter with a wingsuit. The air rushing 155 mph under you. The surge of adrenaline that flows through your veins, allowing you to take in everything in unprecedented detail. You feel like a bird, zipping through the sky. And then BLAM! Didn't even see it coming.
He felt no pain I'm sure, and I bet he was relatively at peace when he left this world. Honestly, sounds like a pretty fun way to go out!

No thanks. I climb regularly now and I don't want to die on a mountain, I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep. In some cases if your body is too high at altitude and can't be brought down, it'll be left on the mountain forever. Not cool for the family.

This reminds me of that one video... dude was the best wingsuiter in the world at the time, him and #2 jumped from a plane and did a routine where one went under the bridge another went over the bridge and there were people all over the bridge taking videos.
The dude smashed into the bridge and you just see chunks of meat scatter all around the people.
It was gnar.

I mean his death was probably pretty good for him as far as deaths go. 155 in to a mountain wall I bet he barley even had time to process what was going wrong. This guy flies through the air like Superman for 20 some years I'm assuming and gets away with it? Not too bad when you look at it that way. And the shit he must've seen and felt along the way.
I'd be more concerned with like clipping something or hitting an eagle or some shit in midair, like falling not enough to kill me instantly but enough for some terrible suffering shit to happen.

I still remember watching a helmet cam of some dude who was base jumping. Something went wrong and he slammed into the rocks at the bottom. He let out some pretty horrific groans and noises. 10ish years later and I can still hear him groaning.
Seems like a shitty way to go out for sure.

Yeah I doubt he was like "What a fitting way to go, I'm going to die doing what I love!"
It was probably more like . "HOLY FUCK! I'M GOING TO DIE AGGHHHHH JHDCSXHJFGWSDJGCVSDGBVDSHVMHSGBCBMEVBJRVRSGUIAH"

I think going out like that doing something you love would be great, especially if you're an adrenaline junkie. The fact that that can happen on any jump is exactly what gets them off. I'm sure he was fine with it.

well, it's just the landing... it looks almost... safe... but the indication of pain, and the groans, lead one to believe that some internal damage was done, and that makes me cringe, to think about it.

Jeb Corliss is the man. He was laughing about this crash on Conan. Just a couple of broken ankles, a broken fibula, a torn ACL and a huge gash in his leg.
