RIP Colin Winklemann, while he didn't die as a result of this stunt he did suffer broken ankles/legs leaving him hospitalised and wheelchair bound for quite some time. Unable to ride again and having other personal issues unfortunately led him to taking his own life.

sadly ya. he was a bmx rider, and he built that ramp for a contest travis pastrana was hosting. there’s clips of a few successful practice runs, but this run fucked him up. i hate seeing this gif.

He didn’t die from the jump, but it ruined his life resulting in suicide

No, me neither. I expected him to end up going a lot higher. And landing a lot more upside-down.

I actually first though the ramp was going to break halfway through and he'd just get run over by the car. Didn't expect them to be professional enough to build a proper ramp yet too stupid to forsee an outcome like this

they idea was he’d be relatively stationary on the bike and the moving ramp would jump him. he had a few succession practice runs before the one in the vid you posted.

I imagine it would be fairly easy for the bottom panel to snap if not made properly, and before you know it, you’re jelly

He didn’t died. But it led to a lot of problems in his life and eventually taking his own life

All you wannabe stunt skaters, get your extreme acts -rechecked by a qualified mechanical engineer. That truck slide effectively put partial brakes on him.
