 This is intensity.

Why the past tense? Did he die in a fall or somthing?

 Yes, he fell to his death.

Dan Osman died November 23, 1998 at the age of 35 after his rope failed while performing a "controlled free-fall" jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park. Osman had come back to Yosemite to dismantle the jump tower but apparently decided to make several jumps (over a few days) before doing so.[1] The failure was investigated by the National Park Service with assistance from Chris Harmston, Quality Assurance Manager at Black Diamond Equipment. Harmston concluded that a change in jump site angle probably caused the ropes to cross and entangle, leading to the rope cutting by melting.[2] Miles Daisher, who was with Osman when he made the jump, stated that the ropes used in his fatal jump had been exposed to inclement weather — including rain and snow — for more than a month before the fatal jump, but that the same ropes were used for several shorter jumps on the previous and same day.

wow... he did that speed climb with no rope!

Who is crazier... the bodybuilder who uses insane amounts of drugs then diets with DNP and drops water?

Or the guy who scales a 400 foot rock in under 5 minutes with no rope?

 The rock climber is crazier and more ballsy. The bodybuilder is just a self-indulged queer.

 The first time I saw Dan Osman's videos I almost shit my pants. The dude was just psycho.

Rock climbers are well known for their usage of steriods

holyyy shit. that guy nuts

[Army of One]

He died doing the same thing he does here at 6:22

  and if you want to see balls of steel watch any of these guys, number 1 is insane

Also Alain Robert, the French Spiderman is just as impressive as Osman

some hardcore back workout session

Some of these tricks take some balls to attempt

 I think he died from doing some kind of a jump similar to a bungee jump.

 The rop was supposed to make him land smoothly, but the rope snapped.

Yeah he died from the same thing he did at 6:22!He used to tie the rope round his waist though.

[HTexan]

his rope broke? That's fuck up.

[The_Punisher]

it's ok to be crazy doing what you do best, but being stupid has no merit.....

[phreak]

Yes, he had balls of steel.



In retrospect I think he would have wished for balls of rubber, though.

[devilsmile]

Yes, he fell to his death.

Imagine if the edge just cracked, fucking hell.

[spinnis]

and for the record, this is not having balls of steel, this is being irresponsible. No wonder the guy is dead, bad luck is what you get after you push it so many times.

I bet you get invited to about as many partys as "uber"man

I think Gracie had posted a gif of a black dude, who probably was Brazilian, rock climbing, and he couldn't make the next hold, so he did a flip to position his body up to get to that hold...shit was amazing.
All these vids are. It shows what the human mind and body can do.

[noworries]

To bad his balls weren't rubber.  Maybe he could have bounced

fucking crazy what they do. well, some people just have no natural fear of heights...good for them? for all we know we could put a snake next to them and they would recoil in horror and say 'EWWW GET IT AWAY FROM MEEEE!!!', people are afraid/not afraid of certain things.

did something extremely dangerous/reckless and died in the process. oh well, thats why most people dont do that kind of shit.

So its the rush that makes them do this stuff?

Let's not forget these jumps.

Freeflying off a Norway wall.
The high altitude jump is rather skill less.  The proximity flying, sick.
