Owen Hart Death Video (Recorded in 1999)

On May 23, 1999, wrestler Owen Hart fell from the rafters of an arena in Kansas City, MO while doing a stunt where he was to be lowered into the ring by harness. The harness subsequently broke, and he fell 24 meters, chest first onto the top rope, flinging him violently into the ring. The impact of the fall severely wounded him, and he later died in hospital.

The fall did not occur on live Pay Per View; an interview with Hart as The Blue Blazer that was recorded in the backstage area earlier in the day, was playing as the tragedy occured.

However, since WWF cameras were rolling at the time of the accident, footage of Hart's fatal fall exists on tape; this was confirmed in a column written by former WWF announcer Kevin Kelly in May of 2013. According to Kelly, the tape sits in the WWE Archive in Stanford, CT with instructions "never to destroy, view or duplicate".

The remainder of the event has never been released by WWE in any form on any of their DVD sets, But is avalible on the Internet through bootleg VHS recordings made during the event.
