Don't do this at home
As if we need any more evidence that unicycles are safer than bikes:

There used to be a photographer named "Broadway Joe" who worked for the Associated Press. His greatest hope, and I report this first hand, was to catch a "jumper" in the act; he spent much of his free time wandering the city in search of this shot. Boy he would have creamed for this one.
I must say though, that that is a very painful photograph to look at, especially considering that there is every likelihood that his family is among the spectators. I also have to say that while we look at the person and think what an insane idiot he is, well...well, I'll leave it at that. May the force be with us all. Raphael Lasar Matawan, NJ

Another bit of evolution acting in everyday life....
But seriously, that could easily be Kris Holm falling off a 3-story building, eh?

Yeah, but I still think the best Darwin goes to the German Zoo keeper who got suffocated from elephant doo doo.

Picking up somebody who's obviously severely injured in that way is certainly going to do more harm than good. If they *really* needed to move him (which is doubtful) then they could certainly have done it in a way less likely to do him harm. Poor sod. Graeme

I haven't been able to find any other source for confirmation. All pictures I'v found have been the same 2 from Reuters News Service (and several pics of the proported dare devil being draged off). Considering all the people with still and video cameras at the scene, this lends more credit to Photoshop and less to Journalism. A google search can find any number of 'News' sources with the same pictures- some with different names for the rider/pilot...

While working as a newsphotographer some years earlier, he got a call via the grape-vine from a gentleman who was going to base-jump from Johannesburg's Ponte Tower.  Steve, along with several other photographers who also got 'the call' raced to the site and arrived in time to snap several pics of the man jumping from the top of the tower. As he plummeted to the ground, several of the photographers started suspecting that things weren't quite what they seemed and the eventual lack of a parachute opening and the note found in the man's pocket confirmed that they had been an unwitting part of an elaborately set-up suicide. Steve had one of the pictures published in a German publication, but I can't find it online.
