A wing walker at an air show in Detroit fell close to 200 feet to his death on Sunday, while he was trying to climb onto an helicopter while performing a stunt.
Wingwalker Todd Green waves from John Mohr's Steerman aircraft, before his attempt to transfer to a helicopter which resulted in him falling to his death, during Selfridge Air Show.
His death comes after a British Royal Air Force 'Red Arrows' pilot crashed and died at an air festival, and another aerobatic flyer crashed and died near Missouri.
