Daredevil Soucek dies in Astrodome barrel stunt

Canadian daredevil Karel Soucek, 37, died after his specially designed barrel struck the edge of a nine by twelve foot water tank during a 180 foot drop at the Astrodome. The July Niagara Falls jumper was part of a Thrill Show and Destruction Derby before 35,000 spectators when the barrel spun and splashed down, crushing his chest and skull.
