A French man is believed to have fallen to his death from a high-rise residential building in Hong Kong last week, police said on Monday, with local media outlets identifying him as daredevil Remi Lucidi.
Police said a 30-year-old man’s body was found on a patio in the city’s upscale Mid-Levels area. He was believed to have engaged in extreme sports, police said, without identifying him. More
He must have checked out the wrong pair of Tits while PEEPING THROUGH a WINDOW.
I wonder if he looked like Wile-E-Coyote on his way down?
Play silly games…
Say you are 60 stories up and hanging by one hand-arm on a ledge. You’ve done this many times before, so you’re confident and not at all scared. All of a sudden a murder hornet lands on your nose.
Next, they’ll be scraping what’s left of you off the sidewalk.
Strange, I remain unaffected.
He landed in somebody’s patio? Can you imagine going outside with your cup of coffee and morning newspaper to enjoy a little quiet time before getting ready for work and finding the shattered and splattered body of some asshole who fell from the 68th floor and must have been going somewhere around 120 MPH when he hit.
I think I’d switch the coffee for some rye whiskey.
Uncle Al, you would have the best “calling in sick” excuse imaginable…
how far down did he get before he remembered he couldn’t fly?
– The mighty flying W!
I don’t mind the fall it’s just the sudden stopping that bothers me.
Not everyone leaves a mark in this world.
Extreme sports for me are installing pop-out windows in my Beetle. Especially when the sun was shining on the car. The sweat drips on my glasses (I can’t see a fucking thing without them, or with them) and I keep turning my head to see through the lenses, as if THAT would make a difference!
@cato ~ probably more like a smear
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
“but, he died doing what he loved” … what? he loved dying?
What an ULTIMATE HUMORIST
INCREDIBLY LAUGHABLE
Wish the entire video were available
Like Gigi Wu he learned, at the last second, that he too was mortal.
Gigi died a horrible death: falling into a ravine and freezing to death overnight.
That would be ex daredevil

It’s not the fall, it’s the sudden stop that did him in.
….this guy was YEARS ahead of him in the falling-from-skyscrapers-for-stupid-reasons department.

…and here I thought the ONE virtue Man had over Animal was the capacity to learn from the mistakes of others…

…imagine if he landed ON you.
Like that FD Chaplain that got killed on 9/11 when a jumper landed on HIM.
Shit happens.
But this is AVOIDABLE shit, is the difference…
That’s worse than getting on a homemade submarine and go visit the Titanic. Either way – SPLATTT!
Thankfully no one on the ground was hurt by his callous disregard for the lives of others or the property rights of the building owners. Hopefully the building owners sue his estate for clean-up costs.
@SNS: “But this is AVOIDABLE shit, is the difference…”
It’s not about the risk, it’s about the adventure. We get to watch their implosion, then pat ourselves on the back for not being a big risk taker. To people like that, God makes a mockery out of them. There was another risk taker recently. Guy proposed to his girlfriend on a mountain top where she abruptly fell 500 feet to her death. Wasn’t meant to be.
The last thing going through Remis mind when he hit the patio?
His asshole!
