Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri on May 23, 1999, during the WWF Over the Edge PPV event. He was being lowered into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a scheduled WWF Intercontinental Championship win over The Godfather.
In keeping with the Blazer's new 'buffoonish superhero' character, Owen was to be lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would release himself from the safety harness and then comically fall flat on his face. He had performed the stunt only a few times before, and was worried about performing the stunt at Kemper Arena due to the height involved (Owen had a fear of heights).

Nobody killed him on purpose but Owen and his opponent were above the ring on this platform and his opponent threw him off of the edge and he fell to his death.Owen Hart was a great wrestler and will never be forgotten.
This video may be disturbing for some people.

Russo exchange into observed as by utilising the place of work and alter into informed that Sting's stunt people have been on the city and asked if that they had of venture to instruct off what they could do. Russo appeared on the script and, on condition that he had performed it earlier and it form of in good shape the tale, Owen ought to do it. And it worked completely in prepare consultation. What they think of is while he adjusted his cape, he accidently hit the launch. earlier Owen right here men had flown at PPV activities. HBK factor Gangrel Christian Bossman Vince McMahon (not on digital camera, he had to aim it) And Sting did just about each night on Nitro. So i could have concept it exchange into risk-free besides if I have been in Russo's shoes that day.

Gravity
He was supposed to lower from the ceiling dressed as the Blue Blazer(ala Sting) and the Blazer Cape got caught in the release clip, so when he flapped his arms for teh decent it pulled the release.
varying accounts of the event say that it was either a faulty clamp, the wrong kind, or simply had not been tested properly before hand.

Owen's "accident" was because they put him in a SAILBOAT harness with a five pound release and none of the safety latches secured. Call me crazy, but I think that anyone with a bit of common sense could have realized that putting a 230 pound man in a five pound harness was going to cause a bit of trouble.

He wasn't killed, At "Over the Edge"(a PPV back then), as the Blue Blazer, he flinched when he was repeling down from the raptures, which caused his safety harness to deactivate and he fell about 30 feet to his death
