Title: Death of Mark Sutton?
Post by: PG_Gabriel on August 20, 2013, 09:37:15 PM

Is the stunt man Mark Sutton who died a few days ago while base jumping the same Mark Sutton for Sutton Photography?

Either way, it is a very sad death. My thoughts are with his family.

Yes, very sad to hear.

Does anyone know the outcome of the pitlane photog that was hit and hospitalized with the tire?

Two different Mark Suttons. The stuntman used to be in the Army before getting into stunt work. Mark Sutton of Sutton Images comes from Henley and, as far as I know, is fit and healthy.

Very sad news about the wingman but I guess if you choose to lead such a daredevil life, injury or death are risks you are prepared to take.

Alright, thanks for the update Monty.

And Willy, he broke a few ribs and maybe a few other bones. But he is alive and well!
