Darwin Award Winner goes out with a big swing
22-year-old man killed while swinging from Utah rock arch in rope stunt popularized on YouTube
By Associated Press, Published: March 25
SALT LAKE CITY 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 sheriffs 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 Worlds 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 Utahs 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 Utahs Monument Valley.
