[edit] Rob Harris

Skysurfer who was killed during filming of a Mountain Dew commercial in 1995. Some of his footage appeared in Mountain Dew ads, though none from his fatal jump. (See Snopes for details [1].) Wikipedia is not a memorial, and while this was tragic, skydiving accidents happen. Delete. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 01:42, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Which wasn't even 24 hours ago! -- Longhair | Talk 05:30, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
True, but I see all these "keep and expand" votes with none willing to even write a stub. I'm secretly hoping that Capitalistroadster will come along. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 05:35, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
Expanded it to a decent stub (I don't care much about the topic, but then again, I like a challenge. Consider it my good deed for the day). Now I want to keep it, of course. -- grm_wnr Esc 23:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
