Two people have died recently in the Moab area in rope swing accidents

Daredevil dies in rope swing stunt popularized by YouTube

Warnings at trailhead of "severe injury or death" don't deter daredevils in Utah. Two people have died recently in the Moab area in rope swing accidents.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A 22-year-old Utah man was killed trying to swing through the opening of a 110-foot-tall sandstone arch in a stunt made so popular on YouTube that state authorities recently banned the daredevil activity by commercial outfitters.
Kyle Lee Stocking, of West Jordan, left too much slack in the rope he was using, and it sent him crashing into the sandstone base of Corona Arch near Moab, Grand County sheriff's officials said. He died Sunday afternoon.
Viral videos have bolstered the activity, which involves swinging wildly from ropes through arch and canyon openings. One video titled "World's Largest Rope Swing" has racked up more than 17 million views on YouTube since it was posted in February.
"Pendulum" swinging is a relatively new form of recreation in Utah's canyon lands, which see plenty of injuries and deaths from rock climbing and BASE jumping, which involves leaping from a fixed object with a parachute. On March 13, another man, Zachery Taylor, was killed rappelling at Tear Drop Arch in Utah's Monument Valley.
It's part of the recreational "craziness" sweeping the Moab area, where the annual Jeep Safari week got started Saturday, another potentially dangerous activity that involves rock crawling in modified vehicles, said John Weisheit, of Living Rivers, a local environmental group.
"People aren't accepting nature for what it is. They have to put an element of excitement into it," said Weisheit, a longtime rafting guide. "People see it on YouTube and then say, 'That looks like fun.'"
Stocking was with a group of five friends authorities didn't identify. His family in the Salt Lake City suburb of West Jordan couldn't be reached Monday.
It wasn't immediately clear how Stocking or his friends miscalculated the distance for a wild swing through Corona Arch. Sheriff's Lt. Kim Neal said Stocking left too much rope loose when he clipped into his waist harness.
"A lot of people are doing it around here," said Sean Hazell at Moab outfitter Western Spirit Cycling, who was planning to make his own jump from the top of Corona Arch. "I'm definitely going to think twice about it now."
Corona Arch is on Utah state trust lands but is set to be turned over to a federal land-management agency as part of a larger trade of state and federal lands. Because of the accident, the Bureau of Land Management is "taking a closer look at appropriate ways to balance and manage these activities on public lands," BLM spokeswoman Megan Crandall said Monday.
The Utah Trust Lands Administration tried to curb Corona Arch's growing appeal by banning commercial jumping effective Jan. 1. But the agency said it can't prevent private parties from using its lands. The agency posted a trailhead warning about the potential for "severe injury or death even if your equipment works."
Stocking's rope and harness didn't fail. His mistake was miscalculating the length of slack rope for the swing, Neal said.
"These people involved in extreme outdoor sports, I admire their courage, but I'm not going to do it," Neal said.

Former Victoria man killed in 'speed-flying' accident on Squamish mountain

Friends of a former Victoria man are mourning his death after a flying accident in Squamish.
Jeff Bertoia, 36, who lived in Squamish, died Saturday while "speed-flying" — using an 11-metre parachute-like wing similar to a paraglider — off the Stawamus Chief, a popular spot for hikers, climbers and paragliders.
Friend Andrew Barry, who grew up in Victoria, was part of a group that gathered Sunday in Squamish on Sunday to cry and laugh about Bertoia's life.
"He was just that kind of guy," Barry said. "He was a small man but was born with a six pack, both ways, in his stomach and his hand. He had a massive heart and no filter."
Bertoia and three others hiked the Stawamus Chief, where he planned to try out a new "wing," Barry said. The right edge of Bertoia's wing caught a tree and slammed him into a rock face, he said, "and then it was about a 600-foot fall."
The two friends yet to jump started to rappell down but realized it was too risky.
Even with the risks of the sport, his friends still hoped Bertoia would be waiting for them at the bottom with a big grin and talk of his "amazing" flight, Barry said.
His body was located in a remote area near the Stawamus Chief and it took close to three hours to retrieve the body.
Genevieve Lowe of Sooke attended the University of Victoria with Bertoia.
"He was one of the most vibrant, enthusiastic people that I've ever met," Lowe said Tuesday.
Bertoia, who has a sister in Port Alberni and other family in Summerland, wasn't married and didn't have family of his own but cherished his nieces and talked about them a lot, Lowe said.
"He had so many, thousands, of friends — a real social butterfly," she said.
It was a shock and surprise to her Bertoia had died speed-flying, one of many adventurous persuits he loved to take part in, said Lowe.
"He just did everything," Lowe said "I've never met anybody into so many extreme sports."
A Facebook page called RIP Jeff Bertoia had 946 likes by Wednesday afternoon.
A celebration of life will be held 4 p.m. Friday at the Executive Suites Hotel in Squamish, and in Summerland on Sept. 21.
