that's sad but funny

that looks awesome
sad

i want to get in those balloons
xD

poor stupid priest.

Wow that was interesting

you would've thought that they would teach him how to use a GPS

Yea... I think next time someone plans something like that.. they'd make sure they could use the GPS that they were relying so heavily on.

wow amazingly sad...at least he went on a great adventure.

thats sad at least he got to see kind of the world (^_^)<3

awww i feel bad for him...

I can't say he was stupid because knowing me, I'd probably do teh same thing! I'd completely forget about the parachute and I have no idea how to use a gps! Maybe I should learn... Just in Case XD

If I had to die, that'd be a nice way to go I think.
Being that far up, you'd have an amazing view.
It'd look beautiful.
I feel sorry for him, though.

thats a pretty amazing way to die.

I cant believe they have an award like that!
o.O

got whay he desirved. religion has ruined the world.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha

Uh. Thats not funny at all. It's very sad. Atleast he died for what he was fighting for.

that's funny in a sad way.

well i'm sure he made some record! even thought it sure cost him

he was number one? I wonder what the others were....

next time he needs to plan ahead
he goes unprepared thats stupid
looks fun tho i must admit

No way!

That's so sad that he died like that.

wow that is just very sad.

i wanna ride balloons but i dont want to die hah.

wow thats sad.

wow...thats actually really sad that he couldnt get anything to work but then again..... WHO DOES THAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

That's
Sad but interestingly funny

Aw, it's super sad that he died.

How Sad.

i didn't know such awards existed, and i find this hilarious. although very sad

thats sad that he died in all but thats pretty funny! he shoulda learned how to use the gps

hahahahah. wow.

that is really cool! :] to bad he died. :[

lmao.

wow thats really sad

Wow....(me next!) (j/k)

that's pretty sad.
but at least it was for a good cause
but still what was he seriously thinking haha

...just...wow.
hahahahahahaha.

randommm.

poor guy. he should've had enough balloons to float himself within a life raft.

Oh goodness that's tragic. O.o

thats what you get for believing in dumb things like evolution, i guess.
but still very sad.

Wow...

awww. RIP.

I love the Darwin Awards. I have all of Wendy's books, and I visit her website often. She rocks.

i had never heard of the darwin awards until earlier today when i ran into a friend from school and he ended up talking a little bit about it. and it's mentioned here too! all in one day.
hm.
interesting.

Well God Bless him..

=[ lol

way better then dieing from a senseless act of volence...

Lol, I LOVE the Darwin Awards.

HA HA HA! sorry man!

wow

Thats really awesome, but r.i.p......

well at least he died doing something he really wanted to do.poor guy

Poor, pour, soul... That is somewhat funny.

omg. that's awful. but he should have known how to use the gps.

Hmmm.....poor guy. Death by Balloons.
Wow.

wow

thats such a shame

That's sad. I'm Brazilian and I'm soo ashamed. But seriously, people really shouldn't say this is funny. Let's do something stupid to cause your death and laugh.

yeahh, that really stinks. but it still look scool! except I don't know why the Darwin Awards would give a PRIEST the award. I don't believe in evolution, but whatever.

uhm.....[?]
not the brightest way to help your cause....But R.I.P =[

thats really sad :/
poor old guy

That's sad D:
But it looks really fun >w<;

People amaze me...

haha dumbass

omg that sad

Well then that wasnt the smartest thing but it was cool

wow I always wanted to try that but now i dont think i will

That is so super funny! How dumb do you have to be?

i remember hearing about this.
sad, but what a way to be remembered.

The balloon part looks fun. Minus the dying. I'd try that if I wasnt afraid of heights.

wow thast wild.....

omg that is so sad I hope he gets that rest stop he wanted in his honour. I hope his last moments on earth were peaceful. RIP

interesting...

it's not really sad if it's peoples' own fault.. because then they are asking for pity

ummm dang dumb.

The way this article is written is sickening. Those awards are as well. How can you make fun of someone's death? However it might've happened, death is not funny.

thats sad, but a cool idea.
and the balloons look awesome

does the fact that I find that freakin' hilarious make me a bad person??
XD

sad story

wow

Thats awesome.

Well, I bet it was fun =) and hey atleast he almost got his thing across, so it's all good.

That's sad... I feel bad for the priest, but I'm sure he had an amazing view before he died.

that was a dumb idea

that looks like fun! too bad he didn't make it
=(

that's too bad. seriously now, you'd think he'd know how to at least function the gps if he brought it up there for his safety. now my question is: where did he want to go and for how long? lol

Wow, thats sad

yea that was really funny.......but i think he was better off staying on the ground.

I GUESS HE WAS TRYING TO GET TO HEAVEN WITH THE BALLOONS BUT ,HE'S GOIN' THERE KNOW!!

Well, at least he was "closer to God" while he was floatin around up there.....

:[

interesting.
shame that he died, even though what he was trying to achieve was good.

<3 the darwin awards

chlorine in the gene pool

That's horrible. But a really cool ideal. But still...

...Wow, that's really interesting. Very sad though. =/

I kind of feel bad for laughing.. but wow.

Hey sh*t happens

im proud of that guy.im sorry he didnt make it but come on that would be a cool way to pass on.. ^-^ he was the coolest brazilian catholic priest ever.

poor dude lol

sad...but wooooooooooooow.....heehee

Wow, that is sad.

oh goodness

Wow.

Aww poor priest

why this is posted on socialvibe i'm not sure, balloons let go in the air further harm the ozone layer. why we promote stupidity is also unapparent to me.

that is realy sad

i dont wanna laugh cause he died. but come on, if your gonna take a GPS device, learn to use it first, otherwise its worthless.

that's really sad

ohh wow, he died. so sadd

that's terrible

i do, however, love the Darwin Awards. i especially love that they refuse to give any awards to people who pee on subway tracks anymore because it happens so often they had to stop.

Wow.

woah, thats insane. that sounds interesting though, flying via baloon cluster =] i'd do it for a good cause! haha

the darwin awards are hilarious

up up n away

wat a tragic story. lolz

lol...funny but ummm tragic

awwwe

he reminds me of curious george x]

poor guy D:

Bad Boy

Bad Boy...............

that article was in our english exam paper lol poor guy

ahhhh
GOTTA LOVE THE DARWIN AWARDS!

hes my hero hahahah

Just wow.

thats sad that he died.

but come on...
at least learn how to use GPS before you do something like that... haha XD

that really is a pretty amazing way to die
lol

speechless???

I think this is why I'm religousless

It's ironic that a priest wins the Darwin award... You know, clashing ideas and all; Science vs. Religion.

sad that he died, but funny how he didn't know how to use his GPS

That is really sad.

Sad, but the dude had NO common sense.

i only laugh at stupidity...and this deffinately takes the cake too bad it involved a death

wait so he died?

oh wow.

If he had of planned properly. like he supposivly did.. he would have learned how to use his GPS before he going on his expedition.. so obviously he hadnt planned that well

i wonder if he questioned his religion ><

that sounds like something i would do....lol

What was he thinking. MAN!!

ah the darwin awards always bring a sad smile to my face.

Oh my gosh...who would do that...and carry a GPS without knowing how to use it?
