DAN OSMAN
Dan Osman (11th February 1963-23th November 1998) has been a extreme sportsman as rock climbing, without rope, or the controlled “fallen down free” (jumping down a precipice for hundreds meters and being stopped at the end by a security rope), with a record of 400 meters. He has lived a bohemian life, has worked from time to time and has lived for months in a little house built on a tree.
He has starred some rock climbing videos and has made this special sport become popular. Born in the Tahoe Lake, California, he started climbing when he was 12. He has had a daughter.
He died the 23th November 1998, when he was 35, when the rope he was using broke while he was jumping a controlled “falling down free” from the Leaning Tower In Yosemite National Park, California.
He has done more than 1000 jumping in his last 10 years. In July 1998 he has designed the tiroline system and has realized jumps of 225, 240, 255, 270, 300, 400 and a final jump of 422m in Yosemite.
