Franz Reichelt's death was possibly the first epic fail and example of evolution in action ever caught on tape. The jump described in this video was caught on camera back in 1912.

A question for those with more "seniority" than me: would the original video of him jumping off of the Eiffel Tower with his parachute cloak be considered snuff? The posting guidelines say, "The presence of human fatality is acceptable and not considered "snuff" if presented as a limited portion of a lengthy educational, informative news report or documentary. Our definition of "snuff" does include but is not exclusive to any short clip in which a human fatality occurs whether or not any victims are actually visible on camera."

As the clip is less than 2 minutes long does it constitute "snuff" even if it has historical relevance?

In 1912 Austrian tailor Franz Reichelt leapt from the observation deck of the eiffel tower in a combination overcoat-parachute of his own design. He expected to fly. He did not.
