| Another attempt at unassisted human flight goes horribly wrong |
| 2018-03-19 |
The 38-year-old suffered the fatal injuries during a show with VOLTA in Florida and was rushed to Tampa General Hospital. Hours before the performance he had posted about the new act he was due to debut. He wrote: "After so much work and training and staging, our straps duo act is finally in the show tonight. It's time to go for it." The shocking footage shows Yann spinning with fellow aerial artist Pawel Walczewski and moving out of shot. |

| #8 #7 Well, inside a medium (e.g. atmosphere, glass prism) it is slightly less. See StackExchangePhysics. What you said is true for a vacuum. Not that I am throwing stones; my house has plenty of glass! |

| #7 Bobby, not to be pedantic, but 32.3 f/sec/sec is only true near the surface of the earth. Whereas, 186000 miles/sec is the law EVERYWHERE! |

| #6 In this case, "32.3 feet per second per second." |

| #5 And I still like this bumper sticker: "186,000 miles per second. It's not just a good idea, it's the law" |

| #1 Gravity often intervenes in human flight. |
