Maybe I'm the only insensitive one here, but in the article I just don't get that phrase "died doing what he loved". I'm sure he wasn't saying "I'm loving this!" as he saw his face plummeting towards the ground.
Maybe it's their way of coping with his loss?? Especially seeing how his death could have been prevented. It wasn't a accident where the rope broke but rather a huge miscalculation and error in judgement.
...Anyways.......I think this was on the back of everyone's minds. But, we have two years before something is announced though.●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com

So according to KUTV, there was a 2nd rope swing death here where the guy died from having a rope that was too long.
But... I wonder if they are getting their locations mixed up with the guy who fell out of his harness???●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com
