Yes, but not because he wanted to die. Is it still a suicide?
No, that's an accident. Suicide has to be intentional/deliberate.
So we figured out he fell from a hot air balloon. Haven't we solved it yet? Haha.
Did he fall because the balloon moved unexpectedly?
Did he fall because he tried to make a joke and slipped?
Did he fall when he was trying to reach up and re-ignite the flame for the hot air balloon?
Did he fall when he was trying to release some ballast/sandbags to increase the altitude of the balloon?
Had he accidentally tied himself to something that pulled him down when it fell from the balloon?
Did something else crash into the balloon?

No, it was not an accident. He jumped off the hot air balloon (knowing there was no way he could have survived it) not because he wanted to die.
Question 1: why?
So we figured out he fell from a hot air balloon. Haven't we solved it yet? Haha.
I'm afraid not.
Did he fall because the balloon moved unexpectedly?
No
Did he fall because he tried to make a joke and slipped?
No
Did he fall when he was trying to reach up and re-ignite the flame for the hot air balloon?
No
Did he fall when he was trying to release some ballast/sandbags to increase the altitude of the balloon?
No
Had he accidentally tied himself to something that pulled him down when it fell from the balloon?
No
Did something else crash into the balloon?
No
Question 2: What's with the match he was holding?
Question 3: What's all the stuff around him?

Ohhhh, now I see what you meant. Well, I think it's suicide then because he jumped deliberately and he wasn't completely out of his mind. He probably knew he was going to die from the fall, even if he didn't want to. Although, if he thought he could survive the fall onto sand, then it could be called an accident.
Did the two people somehow use the match to decide which of them should jump?
Did he jump because otherwise both people in the balloon would have died?
Did he throw a whole lot of things and jump from the balloon to reduce the weight of the balloon and prevent it from crashing?
Did he try to light the match and fail?
Did the hot air balloon malfunction?

That's it. Congrats, Bloopy.
The two guys were ballooning over the desert, when suddenly a gas leak occurred. The balloon slowly started to lose altitude, forcing the two to throw stuff off to reduce weight. They became soon aware that letting their stuff go wasn't enough, so the other guy had to jump to save the other's life at the cost of his own. They used the matches to decide which one had to jump, and this guy, holding the cut match, had to jump.
What's that match game called? Vetää tikkua in Finnish.
Two quickies:
What is it that you can't mention without breaking it?
What is it that grows bigger as you take something away from it?

I'm gonna guess some kind of hole. Specifically a dirt hole, cause if you dig a hole, you're taking more dirt away and the hole gets bigger.

I came up with a weird riddle. See what you can do with this one:
One is kinda gay, and the other's friend is hot. They look like they belong right next to each other, but they are not. A change from one to the other gives an approximate measure of distance. Who/what are they?

Hmm... reread it, and it might have something to do with the exam I wrote yesterday.
Is it longitude and latitude?

When you mean "gay", do you mean homosexual gay? Or just not standard in general?
And does "A change from one to the other gives an approximate measure of distance." mean metric distances?
