The TERRIFYING Last Moments of Legendary Climber Dan Osman

Ойын-сауық

A 35-year-old rock climber that many would describe as insane, Dan Osman was like a real-life spiderman. He would scale terrifying heights with nothing but a bit of chalk, the clothes on his back, and a grip as strong as his willpower.
Dan was a legend in the world of rock climbing, and he still holds records for being the fastest free climber, until a freak accident took his life unexpectedly.
In an ironic twist of fate, it wasn’t even free soloing that brought him to his last terrifying moments.
This is his legendary story.

    I was skydiving regularly and didn't particularly care if an accident occurred. After my daughter was born I won't even get on a plane. I know that Noone in the World will care for her as I do and I wouldn't want to remove that from her by choice. This World is harsh we need allies and guides.

    I have the unique perspective of having nearly lost my life in two separate skydiving accidents back in my early 40s. I'm now 67. I remember having no fear whatsoever when the cords of my main chute tangled around my right leg, and when I watched the reserve parachute bounce off of the tangled mess of the main chute. When the reserve chute finally deployed, I was over a suburban area full of houses and electrical lines. I managed to avoid missing the outstretched tines of a baco by about 10 feet. A second incident almost exactly a year later should have proved fatal but it did not. My point is this...there are no guarantees EVER. In the end, I will succumb to death like everybody else. How and when it happens are the only questions. It's not up to me to decide how others live their lives. best, Fezzy Pepper

She had read about it in the Fresno Newspaper -way before news apps and current modes of lightning speed info sharing. We used to watch Masters of stone videos barely able to get up an 11a in the late 90's marveling at Dan O's skills So tragic that he was on a crash course with destiny. NO one ever imagined he would die from a snapped rope....

    Great job on this documentary. Well presented and unbiased. ❤. As for Dan, yes, he had issues. As a former climber who was scoffed at almost always as a child by my dad and some of my 7 older siblings, I can relate in many ways. I climbed a 5.11 my first ever day on the rock. At 17 years old if I had known the sport and had any money for gear I could have been among those at world champion level. But God had other plans for me, and my faith led me to pursue a different path. Now I'm writing a book about the global flood of Noah's day and the scientific evidence of how that shaped our planet. I respect Dan, in spite of his mistakes. Love to his amazing and beautiful daughter also. God bless you for honoring your dad who loved you. ❤ Climb smart. Play hard. Live smarter. Live for eternity and those you love. 💕

It’s not like this is even something that’s universally enjoyable, or even remotely close. I wouldn’t enjoy doing what he did one bit, in fact it would be torture to me. I don’t need to take any stupid risks or get an “adrenaline rush” to be fulfilled. Btw, I’ve experienced a REAL adrenaline rush, the kind that only really bad accidents/injuries and close calls can produce (I double open-fractured my arm, didn’t feel a thing because of the adrenaline). It was so intense that not only did I not feel a thing but I was shaking and dizzy like I had just done a bunch of coke or something. It wasn’t even enjoyable, it was just different. Nothing I’m in any hurry or even have any desire to repeat, and I have a very addictive personality, but it just seriously wasn’t what I’d consider enjoyable. There’s no euphoria in a real adrenaline rush like you can get from drugs, you’re purely in survival mode. It’s a stupid and crappy feeling to want to recreate imo. If you like altered states of mind just smoke some green it’s way better anyway.

There are many rock-climbers, wing-suit flyers, base-jumpers, daring hikers, etc. etc. -- but rarely OLD daredevils in those sports!

    Absolutely. This is correct. I was a rock climber for years , mostly trad climbing and leading. I feel like there are similarities between the attitude of some climbers and addicts: only happy when they are using / climbing and have to up the amount / ante to feel alive. Yes he was a skilled climber I just wish we recognized folks who quietly live their lives being hero’s in their own communities helping others / healing themselves. Thank you for the video ❤

    I have to agree with this one. I didn’t always see it this way, but now after seriously considering children, I would not want the father of my kids out there risking it all. His kids need him just as I. The hobby becomes an obsession and they’re endlessly praised for it…. It does become selfish at some point. I think he still could have had his hobby but taken it back a bit for his kiddo.
