Jumping off a balcony into a swimming pool 😐

Poor guy. Terrible tragedy

At least he was having a good time

RIP

Live fast, die young. Sad waste of talent.

Young death is tragic.

“Dies” might be a better title than “Killed”

Poor chap. I assumed he dived into a shallow pool and hit the bottom hard but it seems he missed the pool altogether and hit the concrete instead.

At least he would never have felt anything. Sad loss though, the man could ride.

I want to say plenty, but i’ll just say RIP. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Very sad news.

Very tragic.

I guess when you do big jumps/stunts for a living you start to feel invincible.

Crazy. What a shame.

RIP.

Apparently, even a totally p****d person could have made the jump as the pool is so close to the balcony. Rumors are that security grabbed him as he jumped causing him to not make the pool!
