    As has been reported, Dan Osman died from rope failure during a "Controlled Free Fall". Having read a few posts in the past about Dan Osman and his jumps before, I have always wondered how it is done, what precautions are taken, equipment used, etc.

    Thanks.

    idk how I found this, you guys still living?
