It's been a tough year on the air show cct. I know many of these people and they are a fun group and although the stunts look crazy they are mostly well thought out and relatively safe. I didn't know this wingwalker, but I know the pilot of the stearman and this is a terrible thing to have happen.
The big thing with airshows is everyone is trying to be original, as there are only so many things you can do. The stunt may have seemed boring and pointless, but the fact the accident happened shows it was actually quite difficult. I've seen the transfer before and it is pretty cool.
