Hey, Steve had died several years earlier. Now, how did he die? Trivia Question #4-D Gentle breezes, Steve PS: While we're at it, who did Steve have a promotional contract with when he died?

Now, how did he die? : Trivia Question #4-D While I thought the original post, and the idea of trivia questions relating to kiting to be okay, I think SPC has taken this a bit too far. A trivia (!!??) question concerning one of the few tragic deaths we've experienced in the sport of kite flying seems a bit much. For those who might want to know, I believe that Steve got caught up in the lines of a large kite during launch and fell a hundred or so feet. I suppose that knowledge might be useful as a warning to newcomers to the sport as to the serious nature of large kites, but I feel really weird addressing the issue in the context of a trivia question.

Oh come on. It all depends on how you look at the word trivia. In many ways a show like _Jeopardy_ can be said to be about "trivia". Just because something may be "trivia", does not make it "trivial"! Let's not get into a big semantic discussion. Steve PS: It was, at the time, the worlds largest parafoil and was built for a Budwieser ad. Bud had the good taste to not use the footage. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
