Steve was participating in an abseil race in Chongqing Southwest China when he fell 300ft from a helicopter as he attempted to drop down. Another stuntman was also attempting the stunt at the same time but Steve had concerns the combined weight of the two men and the small aircraft might cause problems.The stunt had been delayed due to bad weather conditions and the ropes used were wet, This may have caused Steve to slip and fall to his death. He was attempting the stunt high above Wulong national park but had been put off until the Thursday due to mist and foggy conditions. His death was revealed to his girlfriend in a garbled text from a Chinese woman, The Chinese authorities and company he was working for refused to release any substantial details to his death and might be covering up for something.

He was 54 years old.

On 22 August 2015 an ex military jet aircraft failed to carry out a loop manoeuvre and crashed onto a motorway the A27 trunk road killing 11 people in a huge fireball. The pilot managed to eject from the aircraft but sustained severe injuries and was put into a medically induced coma. The aircraft a Hawker Hunter T7 had been making civilian displays since 1998 as a warbird which is a vintage aircraft operated by civilians not military personnel. The aircraft first did a low pass along the runway from South to North turning for a second pass in the opposite direction. As it neared the airport it turned up into an inside loop but unfortunately the pilot Andy Hill 51 misjudged the height as he was only at 200 feet or 60 m high and the manoeuvre should of commenced at 500 feet 150 m for safety. He had no room for misjudgement at 200 feet but the aircraft crashed. The fireball killed 11 people and injured 16 others, 8 vehicles were destroyed including a Daimler DS420 limousine which was on route to collect a bride for a wedding, The driver was one of the victims. The A27 was closed in both directions and people could only leave by foot, Laws changed after this disaster and now vintage aircraft can only perform fly by operations and aircraft must carry out enhanced maintenance and inspection checks before a permit is granted.
