        From the looks of that picture, he didn't even come close to making it.

        And what a name. Wang.LOL

        Mr Wang, there's a box waiting for you at the front desk, Mr Wang...

          Actually, it sounds like he tried to jump over the wall using a runway.

            There were two of them. The 1st one succeeded. Wang miserably failed.
            On a side notice, there was a failure with the safety net.

              Question: Was he killed by the fall, or was he killed by his incompetent buddies carrying him around like a sack of potatoes on the way to getting him medical attention?

              Just wondering.

                    Poor Wang and poor organizers, they'll probably spend some time in jail.

                      From the caption, it says: Wang Jiaxiong from northwest China's Shaanxi province is carried by the organizers shortly before he died after falling while trying to jump over the Great Wall...

                      I guess the fall pretty much killed this guy, and as you say, dragging him around like a sack of potatoes was just icing on the cake, to ensure he's got ZERO chance of survival. I guess emergency procedures over in China don't factor in using neck braces and backboard. Just grab the guy by the arms and pull!!

                        For a decrease in the population? They might get a medal.
