Ryan dunn is dead?

Yesterday was a sad day for me. I grew up watching CKY, Jackass, Wildboyz, Viva La Bam, all that stuff. I remember being in middle school with friends just watching CKY videos laughing so hard, such great memories. My tattoo was inspired by Dunn, and the way I live my life sort of is, in the respect that don't care what people think, have no regrets. It was a sad day for me.

We respect the man for the good that they did and their positive impact. Ryan Dunn was an idiot who lived life on the edge, willing to go to far extents to get a laugh out of someone. He liked to put people into a better mood. WWII was fueled by an exceptionally smart man by the last name of Hitler. Because of him and his impact on the world, many insanely advanced technological breakthroughs were forced to take place. We don't have to like the man, but we gotta respect the positives which he did.
 
wait....you're comparing Dunn to Hitler....and then claiming that we should all respect Hitler because of sci/tech advancements that were made under his command/financing?
You're reaching and missing on this one, bud. Trollin'?
 
Amen, got choked up just watching that. It's amazing how an emotion can literally take your legs out from under you. Exact thing happened when my dad called about my brother, packing for an early departure to the beach memorial day weekend. Runnin round high as a kite ready to hit the road with my girl and buddies, two sentences later I collapsed in the yard and didn't move for an hour. Awful awful empty feeling.
 
seeing bam like that was sad.

and theres a difference between not respecting someone and disrespecting someone. when you post hate after someone dies, its disrespectful.
 
^And driving between 132-140 mph. And less than a mile from the bar. Basically, after he was done drinking at the bar he hopped in his fast as fuck car and put it to the floor, then promptly crashed and burned. He probably hadn't been in the car one minute. Very, very sad way to leave this world. I am sorry for the loss of his passenger too. I am also glad no one else was hurt. None of us know his intentions, and all the statements from bar managers and his friends cannot fill us in as to whether he was a good person or not. His actions were regrettable, but since I don't know him I will not judge his entire life based on them. I will say, this is an EXTREMELY plain case as to the dangers of driving recklessly and driving intoxicated.

RIP Dunn and Hartwell.
 
Funny... In the video posted right above your post they said the toxicology report wont be out for another 4-6 weeks... Where did you hear this?
 
wow after all my life seening bam, hes one of the toughest guys ever and was reduced to tears. those people taking shit from the crash site are just assholes..
 
apparently he was going 132-140 mph and had a BAC of .196, wow. no disrespect, just stating the facts surrounding the accident.

RIP Ryan Dunn, you brought a lot of people a shit ton of laughs with your ridiculous antics.
 
and shows how common it really is. i bet that was not the first time dunn had left that exact same bar and driven like that (speculation on my end, obviously) home. unfortunately inherently risky behaviors and lifestyles catch up to us all at one point or another, whether we're skiing a crazy line, driving fast on a road we know like the back of our hand, or walking on some train tracks.

it is truly unfortunate that ryan dunn and his passenger died in such a horrific manner, thoughts go out to the families and friends.
 
Yeah great points in that second part. Just be careful driving in general and stay alert. Kid that hit my brother just dozed off at 7 in the morning and crossed into oncoming traffic. Keep your eyes on the road out there.

I wouldn't worry about bam, I'm sure he'll make it through.
 
whatching bam like that made me cry... seeing him on jackass and on tv acking so tough and ballzy seeing him like that broke my heart. guy lost his best friend...cant even imagine
 
Just heard the westboro baptist church is going to picket his funeral. I hope this is finally the time they fuck with the wrong crowd.
 
That's nothing, well it's something of course, but it gets much worse than that. I had a good friend pass last year at around 30. His fiance and sister spoke at length at the funeral. Through weeping eyes and audible sobs they spoke of their love for the man we all knew. Over a hundred people in attendance and I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye in the place when they were talking.

I think watching the pain of others is even worse than the pain it brings you. Dealing with your own emotions is hard but manageable. Watching someone else full on lose it really seems to tug at your heartstrings. Losing my brothers was hard, holding my mother as she wept for her sons was much much harder.

I know it seems I mention this stuff in like every death thread in here and I don't want it to seem like a bid for attention. I just try to use the loss in my life to help others understand it in a way that you just can't from far away. Also it's a sort of therapy for me in a way, I mean I don't really talk about it at all in my regular day. So getting things out here seems to help somewhat. Any sort of outlet for thoughts and emotions is important in grief IMO.

I feel as though it has made me very cold hearted going through what I have. Like jaded to the maximum. I try to stay compassionate to others feelings but it's hard when you handle this kind of pain every day. I almost wanna laugh when someone is distraught over a dead pet or acts like its the end of the world when their grandparent dies. It's sick I know, and i don't laugh, but I can't help myself from thinking it's not that bad. It's fuckin crazy how death and grief affects your emotions and life in general. So I'd like to apologize if I've been overly critical of anyone here at any time when they were suffering. In a few days it will be a full decade since I've seen my oldest brother and I've not been the same since.
 
For the record, you never come across as attention or sympathy seeking. You always offer valuable experience and advice around one of the most difficult things any of us as people can go through. Thanks for being willing to share and be vulnerable...even though there's a level of anonymity here, it's still courageous to be real and lay it out there. Thanks.
 
i feel you man, your second paragraph could not be more true. i remember feeling the same thing when my mum told my brother and i of my dads passing. i was distraught as fuck, the worst ive ever felt in my whole life, and i realized a large aspect of that was watching my mum and bro trying to deal with it. and empathy can be a cunt when it decides to remind you of certain things, thats largely why watching the vid of bam was rough.

and like casual said, from all the posts ive read of yours, ive never put you in the category of attention seeking. speaking your thoughts is one of the best cures.
 
my boyfriend grew up in paoli, right over from west chester and i couldn't even imagine going 130mph on those roads. i was scared going 50.

RIP Ryan Dunn, your presence will be missed.
 
Hi my name's Ryan Dunn and this is the flaming porshe. welcome to jackass.
I'm sorry he was killed, not sorry that it was his drinking and driving that lead to it
 
I grew up in north Wilmington, DE and spent a ton of time in WC growing up/through college. My high school was in the "valley" in the no-mans land between DE and PA and I can say without a doubt (this coming from a guy who's lived in CO and NM, two very rural, mountainous areas) that the roads in that area are like a fucking rally course. Narrow as fuck roads, no center line or shoulders, blind curves everywhere, deer, protruding branches, tricky lighting, poor road surfaces, fucking covered bridges and rocks, and guard rails everywhere, overly comfortable and complacent aggressive drivers fucking with their phones, etc.

In closing, drinking, driving, and speeding are a really bad combo. Add to those some of the most treacherous roads in the country, and it's not a good play.
 
New report says he had 11 beers at the bar before driving and killing himself and his friend. What a tool. Also, what kind of friends let their friend drive that hammered? Zero respect. Tools.
 
saw pics of the rest of the car. mangled and charred. you wouldn't know it was a porsche if no one told you. you might know its a porsche if you can tell by the wheel if you knew your porsches well..
 
dont think 11 beers would really make ryan dunn hammered...

and you never know how long he was there. 11 beers in 4 hours or something really wouldnt be that many people who have drank since highschool like he probably had.

drunk or not, he was taken too early.

ps. wouldnt that put the bartender or owner at fault? supposed to take the keys after a certain point. thats actually a legal issue (I had a bartender come in to my highschool to talk about the debt he was in because he was sued when he let someone drive home and the drunk driver killed someone in a car crash. it left him bankrupt, without his license and his business)
 
it's possible, but its such bullshit. it's not like this was a rare one time thing for this guy. he did it to himself. fuck blaming a bar tender.
 
in the report i read, the bartender said that dunn wasn't visibly drunk when leaving the bar. even though he was twice the legal limit, i'd imagine his tolerance (along with anyone else who can really drink) was extremely high so even with an illegal BAC, he probably didn't appear to be "feeling it" as much as a normal person would have, had they drank the same amount.
 
i really don't want to keep on contributing/looking at this thread, and i understand a bar is different that a hospital room, but we/they/anyone can see/smell/tell when someone is drinking, well before .196.

not blaming the bartender, im sure 70% or more at all bars are intoxicated at that level or higher, im just saying its not really that incognito at .196. and yes, thats really good and drunk, even for a chronic drinker.
 
I can third this. Most of my extended family lives in and around Westchester. The roads are honestly like a roller coaster sometimes. Like you'll just be cruising, and all of a sudden you'll just drop and your stomach shoots up into your throat, its weird.
 
Last summer an off duty cop got pulled over in my hometown because the patrol car recognized the car and wanted to shoot the shit with him, turned out he was drunk with a BAC of over .200, something like .230.. The officer who pulled him over didnt even notice until he saw the alcohol bottle on the floor..

What im trying to get at I guess is people's bodies can handle shit so much differently. Even if someone isn't an "experienced" drinker (such an awful term to say) they could drink a 26er and "feel" fine. Not saying thats most cases, but it happens.
 
you can all debate over tolerance, but you cant deny you take many many many more risks when you are slightly drunk vs sober vs real drunk.

example be sober and think about every move. drink a few beers and you might ski faster and go bigger because you worry about less. but if u drink too many you will just stand up topple over and drink more beers and turn it into a party.

so for me when i make the wildest descisions is when i have only had a few beverages or am in the early stage of being drunk which seems like what happened here.

RIP dunn, but im not shocked.

 
Funny guy for sure, RIP. at the very least i'm sure we all respect his life, just maybe not his death. and his life is the part that mattered anyways, right?

also, hopefully i won't get too much hate for this, but is it necessarily such a bad thing to look down upon the fact that he was driving while intoxicated (to some degree at least)? I understand the respect issue, but if a death by drunk driving is viewed as a shameful death, maybe that will help deter it. since he actually died, everybody looks past the drunk driving and hates on people who say 'well he was drunk driving, what a fucking stupid thing to do.' i feel like that makes potential drunk drivers think if they die or get in a crash, the fact that they were driving drunk and endangering others' lives will be forgotten out of respect. more emphasis needs to be put on the fact that drunk driving is a fucking shameful thing to do, no matter how great of a person you were, and whether you survived or not. it's a pretty disgraceful way to go, because you didn't only die by putting your own life at risk (which is fine, we do it every time we ski), you were putting other lives at risk as well. a lot of people say that he just wound up in the worst case scenario doing something a lot of people do, but if you and your passenger are the only people who died or were injured as a result of your drunk driving, then things could have been much worse.
like i said, RIP, and i definitely respect his life. and having people respect one's life should be much more important than respecting one's death
