That’s exactly what David Blaine did when TMZ asked him to explain the failure of the much hyped, Dive of Death. He said the stunt failed because President Bush’s speech ran long and the wind died down. The original plan was to jump off the platform, fall about 5 feet, then get carried away by helium balloons.

Wait… so the Dive of Death was a 5 foot drop and then a magical balloon ride. Oh my, that’s is terrifying! What’s next? A nap with a big, fluffy teddy bear.
