This past weekend it was discovered that climber and Base jumper Sean Leary had died in an accident in Zion National Park, where he was attempting to wingsuit off some of the impressive cliffs found there. For Sean, Base Jumping and wingsuit flying were some of his passions, and that shows through in the video below from EpicTV, in which he and fellow pilots Charley Kurlinkus and Jeff Shapiro, were plotting out some big jumps in North America, where the sport is still trying to get a foothold.
My condolences go out to Sean’s friends and family. He will be missed.
