13 Floors, Brooklyn. I think its safe to say this kid had Magot beat for his concept of "LOW."http://www.basejumper.com/images/forum/crazy.gif

Also pardon my insensitivity, but when I was younger jumping off my roof and shit, I knew that that was as high as I could go. I had a concept of what was too high and what would hurt me/kill me. For this kid to look 130+ feet down and jump. There just had to be something wrong with his head. Whether it be lack of smarts, mental problem, etc... I have a 9 year old brother, and when I took him up on my roof. he slothed onto the tiles and wouldnt move. For a normal kid his age he acted with self preservation, and he realized the risk instinctively. What the hell was the kid thinking?http://www.basejumper.com/images/forum/crazy.gifhttp://www.basejumper.com/images/forum/mad.gif

Eiteher something was wrong with his head or he was trying to mimic something he'd seen on TV

He might have just wanted to jump, as it seems that was his intent.

at least he tried to make a parachute...

I read this in a paper in London this morning. Tragic news indeed.

I am actually sorry to ask this, but does this qualify for the BFL?

Well, let's see if he used F1-11 and E-thread before you decide that Mac.
