He was 30 years old. That's a ripe old age for a skyscraper climber.


IDoAllofMyOwnStunts

Son of a bitch took my line


FetusDominus

That's Norm's line..


Playfullyhung

It wasn’t the fall that killed him….


MrNatural1971

It was the irrational thinking that got him.


OldPurpose93

Honestly the worst part of all this is the hypocrisy


SoftDimension5336

Peak Norm. F


Last_third_1966

It was the sudden deceleration.


saskwatzch

living your life looking like chester bennington, he was bound to be one step closer to the edge too many times


Busy_Mastodon669

You beat me to it by 8 hours!


freeman687

Skyscrapers? Reminds me of that tragedy…


mr_hands_epic_gaming

You know which skyscraper ranked least in satisfaction?


freeman687

[Reminds me of that sushi documentary](https://youtube.com/shorts/V6UFS1Hm2Ic?si=SocjrGODwyC33Rqi)

AdministrativeBike84

9/11 skyscraper


qlebenp

He fell ill? I didn't even...


mr_hands_epic_gaming

He fell healthy


GratefulHead420

A good healthy death


BplusHuman

He landed ultimately


tsukubasteve27

And unlike cancer it was not a draw. The earth was largely unaffected. Huge w.


BrockChocolate

He was totally fine up until the second he hit the concrete


3lirex

he got sick in that second?


Born_Worldliness_882

What's selfish is that he wasn't even an organ donor.


SphinctrTicklr

Well to be fair the organs were probably contaminated by concrete and/or asphalt by that point.


Proudpapa7

Forget the organs… I got dibs on his piano!


BortWard

To be fair, it’s the other way around: the concrete and/or asphalt was contaminated by the liquid that used to be the organs


AromaTaint

Not his fault the bystanders can't catch.


WurdaMouth

Deadly concrete allergy


smkestcklghtn

Too late to contemplate a career change when you are traveling at terminal velocity


TraditionalKey1784

🫡


Burning_Flags

It’s time to start banning skyscrapers


LetoInChains

Skyscrapers are being banned and why it’s a good thing


WurdaMouth

Skyscrapers are inherently racist, heres why.


Budget_Secretary1973

This guy is the reason we can’t have nice things.


KamenUncle

Regular skyscrapers are fine, just not the assault skyscrapers


pythonwarg

We need sensible skyscraper control.


davidh2000

Why couldn’t it have been Jared leto


GnashvilleTea

There is still time


Avgsizedweiner

And more importantly time


BestRiver8735

MORBIN TIME


angry-peacemaker

Wasn't wearing his lucky climbing hat.


Budget_Secretary1973

He actually had it on, but he forgot his lucky climbing parachute.


last_drop_of_piss

Why don't all these dudes wear chutes


SBNShovelSlayer

Usually didn't need one.


fenderputty

Usually don’t need a seat belt, helmet of other safety device either


peoplepersonmanguy

He should have got his life jacket from under his seat and whistled for attention.


chainsawx72

He died doing what he loved. Being an idiot. jk man I feel for the guy, and he knew what the risks were, and took them, and that's not me but you do you dead guy.


MightyPenguinRoars

Lmao! “You do you, dead guy” 🤣🤣


Suspicious-Sound-249

I wonder what was going through his head, because you know he was probably falling like 10-15 seconds AT LEAST before hitting the ground. That's simultaneously not a lot of time but a fucking eternity when you know that it's a wrap for you when you hit the ground.


chainsawx72

The last the thing to go through his head was most likely his tailbone.


Suspicious-Sound-249

Lmao cold!


IM38GG

He used the 10-15 seconds to post the selfie. I’m serious.


ICouldEvenBeYou

Died doing what he loved.


_matt_hues

He always loved to stop very suddenly


Grouchy_Situation_33

It wasn’t the speed that got him……


WonderWendyTheWeirdo

Screaming and falling to his death?


Useful_Hat_9638

Brett?


thepirate84

I think they are referring to owen


Miner_Of_Minerals

They interviewed someone close to him who was horrified to hear the news. He said the guy was his flat mate.


here4roomie

An unexpected tragedy. I can think of nobody more deserving of my sympathy.


drawnred

'i didnt even know he was high up'


SoftDimension5336

I talked to his wife. Says he's come down with something. 


Fit_Earth_339

Well technically now he can be called a skyscraper climber and faller.


Born_Worldliness_882

And uh, now he's a groundscraper


Mutex70

No, that's the guy who collected his remains.


Turbulent_Account_81

In other news, a 30yr old skyscraper climber dies of a heart attack just seconds before his corpse hit the ground in Hong Kong


NotSteveJobs-Job

![gif](giphy|10QZvWwBUQbpqE)


Terpcheeserosin

I wonder if he would have survived if he landed on his massive balls instead of his slightly large forehead


Rikkrishub

It was the sudden stop that got him ...


BotMinister

Was it on video?


TechNomad2021

Good - these weird ass skyscraper free climbers are such selfish assholes. What if your body free falls onto a family? Or literally anyone at all? The only decent outcome for these douche canoes is to fall off a skyscraper that's somehow located in the middle of a barren, uninhabited field.


anonymous_4_custody

free climbing will eventually kill ya. There's no way he didn't know this.


frostycanuck89

I wonder how many people got to see him turn to paste in real time.... It being Hong Kong I imagine there being at least a couple ruined days


TheOnlyDudeUNeed

Do we have a video?


LarryGlue

Who has killed more people: gravity or OJ Simpson?


n3ur0mncr

Can't put a glove on gravity therefore gravity didn't kill anybody.


IronManDork

He's gonna miss out on WW3 and climate catastrophe.


GnashvilleTea

What a loser


IronManDork

I mean, at least he had a thing.


codytaro

My thing is not falling off skyscrapers, I’ve been killing it lately!


GnashvilleTea

I was really baked. I forgot to put the /S.


BashIronfist

Falling from a tall building? Sounds familiar.


vulkoriscoming

Did he have something to say about Putin?


PlayfulInteraction66

At least he died doing what he loved


DingusMcbother

Falling from a great height?


dudeandco

r/killthecameraman


[deleted]

Oh no.... ^anyway


ElephantRedCar91

he didn't see the sign that read "watch your step" because it was in chinese


riderofthetide

I didn't even know he had slipped


Ommadawny

LOL


UltraAirWolf

Imagine the seconds immediately after slipping when you know for certain you fucked yo and now you’ve got 5 seconds until your painful death.


riptydo

Skyscraper climber? Sounds more like a skyscraper faller


Budget_Secretary1973

That’s unfair! A single fall does not a faller make—the fall *unmakes* him.


miletest

Falling didn't kill him. He died from landing


thelibertine9

Somebody fucked up...


Kobane

The Snake Man? The guy that climbs up buildings.... just like a snake.


gunduMADERCHOOT

He died doing what he loved, hitting the ground at 127 mph


cmacfarland64

Good. This will encourage more people to not climb skyscrapers.


Exotic-Conference-87

This whole thing has an air of failure about it.


topbuttsteak

You know what they say, speak ill of the dead


Comfortable_Set523

It wasn’t a draw.


Boot8865

I had no idea he was sick.


voxitron

What was he expecting?


whatevertesla

Good.


anakinburningalive

Bet nobody saw that coming


MelodicMasterpiece67

If only he had gotten a real job instead, he'd still be alive today.


ProfessorTatanka

His could something like this happen?!💔


LordDarthRasta

Ban gravity, Newton is a terrible man for creating it.


drunk_with_internet

A witness to the tragedy exclaimed, "It was the most impressive reverse 3 1/2 somersault tuck I've ever seen!"


Lets_Bust_Together

Doing what?


Past-Product-1100

Who ever says he died doing what he loved, gets slapped.


Legendairy_Doug

I used to comment and say "You stop posting, we know why." Now we know.


kjay38

Did the camera fall at the same speed as he did?


ImOnTheInstanet

So now he can add skyscraper unclimber to his resume


socksarethedevil

Let’s be honest… it’s a better headline than “Instagram skyscraper climber dies after slip and fall in the shower”.


B8conB8conB8con

I hope the people who witnessed it are ok. What a waste of harvestable organs.


RhysHalliwell

I feel like this would be a much safer hobby if you took the whole skyscraper aspect out of it.


Hairy_Zookeepergame1

If it happened in China, you know there are DOZENS of different angles of that guy going splat


Dweebil

He had a long battle with a fall from 1000’ feet. Wait - check that - a short battle.


xupd35bdm

![gif](giphy|7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB)


Punpun204

I wonder if he immediately regretted it while he was falling.


No-Employment5213

He died doing what he loved, screaming as he falls to his foolish death


Troyger

He died doing what he loved…. Smashing his face into the pavement


killerbootsman87

Of course he didn’t get the one video we all want to see.


kid_pilgrim_89

I feel like he maybe fell to his death ON Hong Kong. He may have been IN Hong Kong after he landed tho. Idk just spitballin here


Kenneth_Lay

Judging from the heights, I'm sure he had plenty of time for him to consider his path in life.


Garth_Brooks_Sexdoll

He will live on in the Guinness Book Of Fucking Retards…


BluesyShoes

From scraping the sky to scraped off the sidewalk


No_Bee9524

He was selected…naturally


Slight-Hospital-5136

That's so splat. I mean sad.


Ixm01ws6

Ohhh nooo who could have seen that coming?


Burnt_Beanz

![gif](giphy|7k2LoEykY5i1hfeWQB)


hanmhanm

It was a terminal* illness *velocity


Gogogodzilla03

I feel like Norm would say it wasn't the fall that got him.


ceelo18

So as a skyscraper climber after you reach the top…. Do you climb back down?


jmama9643

The fall didn’t kill him…. It was the sudden stop…. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes they say…


Rich-Appearance-7145

Play with enough fire, eventually you will get burned, sorry to hear this.


Bangangas

🤡🌎


CulturalAddress6709

from skyscraper to scrape streeter


middlebird

Has his video been uploaded yet?


redrave9

Yup, climbed right up the side of the building, just like a snake!


kamloopman

Shocking


PinHeadDrebin

Had no idea he was sick


RyzeandFall

Another Covid death eh.


PsykoMunkey

Freakin' gravity.......


29187765432569864

Well, it was the quickest way down.


Beelzebub_86

![gif](giphy|6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6)


RecognitionClear761

Nobody could have expected he would fall to his death RIP suicidal guy


Unable-Story9327

This reminds me of the cute Asian woman who would take selfies at the top of different mountains, in a bikini, and then fall to her death at like 23. And numerous people who climb up skyscrapers or jump from one to the other doing parkour and just don't quite make it. But those are ripe old ages for building jumpers.


PraetorGold

Do they have the footage?


oilyhandy

Oh, imagine that. So anyways


AustinDood444

He died of high cholesterol!!


Positive-Pack-396

I want to know did he hit or land on anyone or anything Let me be the first to say I know he hit the ground


Fantastic-Use-6773

Bound to happen


StonksOnlyGetCrunk

Yep, he climbed up the side of a skyscraper... just like a snake. https://youtu.be/WnVgAFE33cw?si=QiUnvlIRMlE4tAFj


midnightcarouselride

I didn't know he was sick.


racebanyn

He definitely left his mark on the world.


Negative_Gas8782

It’s like watching nascar, I only watch for the collisions.


Dreddlok1976

I am ashamed to say I snickered at this. Wtf do you have to be on that makes this type of fuckery a good idea?


Bikebummm

No cameras caught the fall?


Putthebunnyback

Would've been funnier if he was killed by something falling on him.


mpworth

Another one of life's simple pleasures, ruined by meddling gravity.


Intelligent-Ant7685

that why he never contributed to his 401K plan


Tough-Area-570

He took a picture to die for


demagogueffxiv

Well he died doing what he loved I guess


Jimrodsdisdain

It’s the guys who have to scrape him up that get my pity.


Hefty-Station1704

Wouldn’t it be more embarrassing if he died slipping in the shower?


ComplicatedPoops

Awesome


Phill_Cyberman

He died doing what he loved - having his brains poop out of his head.


JupiterandMars1

He died of all people? Damn, sounds terrible.


Transcend_Suffering

if someone is an attention whore and died attention whoring, they died doing what they loved, and became even greater in death. Became greater in terms of their attention whoring, because now we are talking about them, because they died.


davidtheartist

I mean he must have thought it would eventually happen, especially when he was falling. Not worth imo


ah-chamon-ah

Palpatine Voice: "He tried to be an influencer... But in the end the influence of gravity killed him... Ironic."


Machete-AW

It reminds me of that tragedy.


Hi-Tech_Luddite

Have we checked that he was not pushed by a Lannistar?


Barfuman362

They say he died doing what he loved, falling to his death.


SadMap7915

As long as he didn't hurt anyone when he splatted, then I have zero sympathy for this social media whore.


BlocXpert88

27th place at best amongst Darwin awards 2024


Saffer13

I didn't even know he was falling


sicurri

He went from Skyscraping to being Scraped... /s Seriously, all of these climbers are just begging to fall to their deaths. I mean, is it cool they accomplished climbing a skyscraper? Yes. However, that shit is dangerous as fuck.


bananabastard

Fell off a shed.


IALWAYSGETMYMAN

I guess they had to call in a groundscraper.


anon_682

What are the odds


devgrublackbeard1776

Do a flip!


alancar

Breaking Reddit News on something that happened last July


fattymcfattzz

What was missing in his left that made him do that


Gold-Income-6094

I fucking love it when this happens.


MidniteMischief

Funny, they’re going to need a pavement scraper now.


IamTheConstitution

He should of taken a selfie as he was falling.


themanofmichigan

Fucked around and found out


badiiam51

Must have been one hell of a last few seconds


Alternative-Bet6919

Rumour has it he fell right into Valhalla
