Dan Osman
Daniel Eugene Osman (February 11, 1963 – November 23, 1998) was a Japanese-American extreme sport practitioner, known for the dangerous sports of "free-soloing" (rock climbing without ropes or other safety gear); and "rope free-flying" or "rope jumping" (falling several hundred feet from a cliff then being caught by a safety rope), for which his record was over 1000 feet/300 meters. He was known for living a bohemian lifestyle, working as a part-time carpenter and living in Lake Tahoe, CA. He was the star of several rock climbing videos, which brought free-soloing to a wider audience. Dan had one daughter, Emma Osman.

Famous quotes containing the word dan:
“Upon entering my vein, the drug would start a warm edge that would surge along until the brain consumed it in a gentle explosion. It began in the back of the neck and rose rapidly until I felt such pleasure that the world sympathizing took on a soft, lofty appeal.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)
