    It was a white man, and I think the title should reflect this

    He may not identify as white.
    Does he identify as a Man then?

    Now now, i have followed all suggestions but the PC brigade would jump all over me if I followed yours haha

  • Is the person's gender relevant in this case Paulie? You wouldn't lose any accuracy if you referred to the person as a "person", rather than making an assumption as to their gender.

    Good point Chizz. Perhaps it should read something like "Non gender specific, warm blooded life form falls 25,000 feet (7,620m)." Just to cover all bases.

    No. That wouldn't reflect the person's intent, which is the point of the story. Many people have fallen that far, few have survived, even fewer have done so deliberately.

    I suggest "Human falls from great height, deliberately".

    @paulie8290 can you see to it, please?

    But that ignores the Health and Safety issues and may encourage youngsters to try it. How about " Human found in net close to the ground" ?

    Does he identify as a Man then?
    Excellent point, well made.
