Νταν Όζμαν: Διαφορά μεταξύ των αναθεωρήσεων

Ο '''Νταν Όζμαν''' (Dan Osman)(11 Φεβρουαρίου, 1963 &ndash; 23 Νοεμβρίου, 1998) ήταν [[ΗΠΑ|Αμερικανός]] [[αναρρίχηση|αναρριχητής]], γνωστός για την ενασχόλησή του με την [[ελεύθερη μοναχική αναρρίχηση]] και άλλα ακραία αθλήματα, όπως το «άλμα με σκοινί», δηλαδή πτώση εκατοντάδων μέτρων από βραχοπλαγιά και το σταμάτημα της πτώσης με σκοινί ασφαλείας. Το προσωπικό του ρεκόρ στο συγκεκριμένο άλμα ήταν 305 m by a safety rope), for which his record was over 1000 feet / 304.8 meters. He was known for living a [[Bohemianism|bohemian lifestyle]], rarely working, and living in a tree house for months at a time. He was the star of several rock climbing videos, which brought free-soloing to a wider audience. Dan had one daughter.<ref name="terminal">{{cite web |last=Vetter |first=Craig |title=Terminal Velocity |work=Outside Magazine

Dan Osman appeared in [[Eric Perlman]]'s Masters of Stone series, free soloing Atlantis (5.11+) on The Sorcerer in Needles and Airy Interlude (5.10b, then 5.9) on The Witch, also in Needles (in California's Sierras). He also is featured crashing a bmx bicycle, ziplining off The Witch, taking a gigantic 192 foot whipper just for the fun of it (in Yosemite), and perhaps most impressively, on-sight free-soloing Bolder Display of Power (5.11).

 

 

Dan Osman died November 23, 1998 at the age of 35 after his rope failed while performing a "controlled free-fall" jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in [[Yosemite National Park]]. Osman had come back to Yosemite to dismantle the jump tower but apparently decided to make several jumps (over a few days) before doing so.<ref name="terminal" /> The failure was investigated by the National Park Service with assistance from Chris Harmston, Quality Assurance Manager at [[Black Diamond Equipment]]. Harmston concluded that a change in jump site angle probably caused the ropes to cross and entangle, leading to the rope cutting by melting.<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/rec.climbing/browse_thread/thread/816f763ab36ceffa/dddc7e3db5defbb5 Dan Osman's Rope Failure Analysis—Possible cause for his death]</ref> Miles Daisher, who was with Osman when he made the jump, stated that the ropes used in his fatal jump had been exposed to inclement weather &mdash; including rain and snow &mdash; for more than a month before the fatal jump, but that the same ropes were used for several shorter jumps on the previous and same day.<ref name="terminal" />
