18 May Dean Potter dies in Yosemite

Just a few days ago we talked about him for an another amazing feat, his running into the path of his beloved valley. Saturday, May 16, the climber and BASE jumper Dean Potter, 43, was the victim of a fatal accident with Graham Hunt after a launch from Taft Point above the Yosemite Valley. The bodies were found Sunday by Yosemite Search and Rescue, thanks to the helicopter that identified them in an inaccessible area. From the preliminary information, it appears that both had the parachute still closed, which suggests an accident in flight but the dynamics are yet to be verified.
