Didn't prove the earth was flat, but definitely confirmed it's solid.

[jamesedwards]

In his defense the Earth did appear mostly flat where he landed.

Play stupid game, win stupid price
This year's Darwin award goes to....

[Esch]

he didnt understand the gravity of the situation.

[donaldhamilton]

If you look closely, you'll see the rocket says ACME ....

[jamesrose]

There are several buildings higher than his rocket went.

[thepush]

Well he proved that something is flat.

[hellshade]

well we can say for a fact that mad mike was definitely no rocket scientist....

He should have just bought a ticket to Hawaii for a vacation. That would got him to 35, 000 feet and a nice meal.

[blakjaket]

He tried to break the law. The law was gravity.

[galacticmind]

He died doing what he loved... flailing his arms and screaming his lungs out.

[VRShow]

The news reporter stated he was ejected? Im pretty sure he was in the capsule.

[bustermorley]

He could have bought a plane ticket for under $100 and flown a lot higher and landed a lot safer.

This is unreal. It's like out of a comedy film.
You know, that reflects our daily life pretty well. It's all like a giant circus that you can't escape from, unless you have big amounts of money.
This is truly some naked gun material.
I must admit, I don't feel 1 drop of sadness when it comes to such incredible stupidity

[fernandoiglesias]

What's amazing is that he got to the age of 64

[damachine]

Now he's no longer a flat earther, he's simply a flat earthling.

[Soundtracks]

Mike: My time to prove the flat Earth theory has arrived!

Parachute: Yeah about that... See ya! 🖐

Gravity: YOUR SOUL IS MINE!

[swarovskivtx]

At least he proved gravity, which flat earthers don't believe in

[anonanon]

I am apalled by these comments.Lives are precious, you may think he was dumb but it is not okay to make fun of a person's death.Shame on the comment section.

[utubeaccess]

Now he's flat and Earth is still round.
