When I first heard of this, I thought it was fake but I guess it really is true.
So damn sad, he was so young and made content that so many people enjoyed. The worst part is that he did so many videos with his son, I can't imagine his pain at this time. |

i believe someone tempered with his equipment because paragliding should have a fail rate lesser then a parachute, also youd think he would have had a parachute on him if that happened.
he was a good content creator and lived up to what he did doing his random stuff, but this is just super sad to hear that someone who has a loving family just randomly dies paragliding. i am no expert on paragliding since i hate hights but im pretty sure that a paraglider wouldnt be a 90% fail rate unless there was no wind which then would be 100% failrate at that point, but im still so confused about his death though did he have a parachute on or not because thats one thing you defiantly need when doing that, even if it adds a little more pound to it, still parachutes have a more chance to fail then a paraglider, unless im thinking something differently |

Man, I am sad about this. He influenced a lot of people to try, even when he didn't want to put up with YouTube anymore, he still helped out others. RIP Grant, you showed me a lot of cool experiments and got me into science a lot.
Makes me sad how Codylabs reacted. Poor guy, him and Grand were good friends. |

Granted, it prob won't be released to the public but, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go.... Even with the fail rates. The good ones always die young. |
