Daredevil Killed in Bravado Backfire

 
 Todd goes for the stunt
Todd falls down

A stunt wing-walker died after falling 200 feet while attempting to move from a plane to a helicopter at an air show in the US state of Michigan. Todd Green was attempting to move from a Stearman aircraft at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, in Harrison Township when he fell.
An ambulance rushed him to Mount Clemens Regional Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Spectators at the show on Sunday thought that the fall was a part of his stunt, until an announcer said something had gone wrong, according to Macomb Daily.
US politician Candice Miller was also watching the show. According to him,
It takes a moment to realize what just happened. I know he was a part of this big show and many people came to see him performing breathtaking stunts.  
According to Silver Wings wing-walking team website, Green was the son of prominent aerial stuntman Eddie Green.
The website states ,
Green continues his father's tradition. 
Green is survived by his wife, son and stepson.
The accident comes close on the heels of the death of the Read Arrows pilot John Egging after his aircraft crashed following an airshow in Bournemouth, England, on Saturday.
In another instance, stunt pilot Bryan Jensen was killed after his biplane spiraled into the ground at an airshow in Kansas City, US.
HUH!!NOW SKY ISN'T SAFE!!! DEADLY STUNTS MAKE YOU FAMOUS BUT SOMETIMES THEY MAKE YOU DEAD. STAY SAFE, DON'T TRY THIS!!!
