Condolences to the wife, family and friends.
Glad no one else was hurt and that it appears he leaves no children without their father due to taking stupid, unnecessary risks.

Yeah, that would probably really suck. Some people do get the whole "life replay" thing, though, which can apparently be kind of nice.
Blame the safety provisions and wait till the full report comes out.
It's easy to scoff and say 'thats fucking stupid' and I hear you, but is it really any stupider than (say) Tom Cruise doing his own work on the side of a plane or cliff for a Mission Impossible flick?
Something safety wise fucked up. Whether that happened during or in the planning stages, that's to be determined. RIP man

Does he have a history of doing insane stunts himself? I can see it a fitting end but come on. RIP
Edit:
Welp.

I wonder if the pilot didn't account for the shift in weight or what. Maybe somebody/something on the opposite wing would have helped for balance.
Either way, at least he died trying to make something cool. Don't really get the negative comments; all of us will die and most of us will die for "stupid" reasons.

I'm guessing Tom Cruise had safety precautions in place. Tom Cruise was also hanging to the side of a huge jet not a small prop plane that would actually need to be balanced. Small planes even a smaller bags need to be balanced.
Dude I thought it was a parked jetliner he was walking on and fell off of.
An actual flying cessna? That is the stupidest shit I've heard in a long time.

Well this was unnecessary and dumb.
Imagining if it were me, my final wish would be for them to use some of the footage in the video and finish it. I died for this shit, might as well put it to use to make my swan song one of the most metal music video endings ever.
But that might be a bit too morbid for folk.

I thought the exact same thing. I thought he must have fallen a little weird to die from falling off a plane's wing when it was on the ground.
That is crazy.
I was thinking the same thing. Thought he fell awkward and landed on his neck or head. Even a short fall the wrong way can kill you. But nah
Yeah bingo to all of that - but that's what I was kinda getting at
The safety and planning of it sounds absolutely fucked by the sounds of it, but a lot of people in here sound like they are scoffing at the concept of an accident happening when doing something for a media VT.
It's an unnecessary death but I don't blame the guy for wanting to put something artistic together
Shame on the directors and flight crew for approving this if it's as clear cut as it sounds
Same I thought maybe he fell at a angle and broke his neck or something.
Just...why would you do this during flight?
R.I.P., but this shit sounds like an outrageous skit from an unwritten Boondocks episode about white rappers.
So he might've been fine if he just bailed and pulled his chute, but he panicked and tried to stay with the plane until it was too late. Such a senseless way to go.
For fucks sake use a damned green screen people! Dont do stupid stuff like this. What a senseless death.
If he went out further than they had rehearsed there isn't much to be done about it.
Yeah I thought he just fell off a stationary plane and died from the impact.
