If he where to go to heaven. He would be unimpressed with the height
First reaction: Aw, too bad.
Second reaction, after reading his political views: lol, fuck him.
Least right-wing Austrian:
While Baumgartner’s stunts inspired millions, his political views were known to cause controversy. On social media, he mocked climate activists and others who sought to limit the effects of climate change, and voiced opposition to LGBTQ rights, according to the AFP news agency. He also once suggested Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-immigration policies.
So I was entertained for awhile by some idiot bigot that was only ever known for doing dangerous stunts…
Yeah. I’m ok with that. Rest in piss then.
We still have Christian Spinnenman 🙏
Sounds like nothing of value was lost in this accident then.
Exactly what is one inspired to do by someone that jumped from a significant height? To go out and get a corporate sponsor so they can foot the bill for your adrenaline addiction?
What a tosser
Lmfao ok then, nothing of value lost
Good riddance
Turns of lack of oxygen to your brain and violent head trauma is a good way to enforce your conservative views.
He died as he lived. Being a shit stain.
🤣 that’s savage AF. I like it!
I don’t know too much about this guy, but if you ignore the part about him being a horrible person for a moment and focus more on the part where he did something new in this field, this is pretty much what happens.
People who are seen as trailblazers in these sort of daredevil fields often end up dying young. It may be quite safe to go skydiving, for example, but people who push boundaries also tend to push their luck with safety margins.
I was thinking 56 is pretty old for people who do
stupidI mean, “daredevil” stunts often.
I still remember the day of the stratosphere jump. I believe it still is the world record for highest parachute jump.
The article says it was broken 2 years later.
May he garden bums in the afterlife
Baum actually means tree in German but since he was a homophobic bigot and an adrenaline addict, having him calmly tend to a garden of male asses for eternity might be a fitting fate 🤷
Collecting the morning dew from each crack, right at the crack of dawn
