So this retarded butthurt thread is because you wanted to prove that Zan irrational suicide? Fine then. He did. Zan, who was caught up in the moment and pumping with adrenaline because he was face to face with a dangerous 40 ft flying fire breathing alpha male dragon that he's been obsessively hunting for eons, had a lapse in logic and committed irrational suicide rather than attempting to defy the odds and make a possible, but highly improbable escape. There, you got the answer you've so much wanted.
Here's the rub, though. In order to get this answer, you made a butthurt spite thread and trolled it to 12 pages and 225 posts, and in the process, pretty much proved yourself to be a pathetic idiot whose opinion is irrational and irredeemably irrelevant. So enjoy your little technical victory, because it also comes with the prize of being an utterly worthless moron.
apply all the insubstantial puffery you wish, but the fact remains. he avoided escape and chose instead to kill himself.
van zan is suicidal (or perhaps just really really stupid).

I was under the impression Zan was trying to use the axe to harm the dragon and was killed instead. I know, and i'm sure he knew, the axe wouldn't do much but to it seemed to be a final act of defiance. Like "yeah you're gonna kill me but i'm gonna take your eye in the process!" Of course it didn't work out at all.
Merriam-Webster laughs at your clowny attempts. "It was a sacrifice!"
Sui·cide
noun \ˈsü-ə-ˌsīd\
a : the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally especially by a person of years of discretion and of sound mind
b : ruin of one's own interests <political suicide>
c : apoptosis <cell suicide>
2
: one that commits or attempts suicide
But go on and keep avoiding(cos you're a coward) that jumping off a high tower towards a fire breathing dragon wasn't certain death. Cry more.

Holy shit! Are you saying that anybody who is in a position to escape and instead goes to take on the dangerous situation instead is suicidal or retarded? Wow, that is so stupid. You are trying you apply this like it's a general principle for anyone, when Van Zan's death was under extremely strict circumstances. Did your butthurt troll mind ever think, maybe, just maybe, Zan considered the stairway and thought
"You know, I could attempt to climb down, but the dragon would probably burn down the building if I tried. Rather than waste my last moments trying to run and probably dying anyway, since the dragon could and more than likely would easily incinerate the building, I'm going to take my axe and use my last moments to try to harm this dragon that I've been obsessively hunting for years any way I can. Sure I'll die anyway, but at least I will have probably used my last moments to harm the dragon, thus making the most utility of myself, and thus dying with meaning, rather than running and more than likely dying meaninglessly"
It didn't work out that way, as he didn't harm the dragon, but that was his intentions. Not suicide, but trying to harm the dragon. You are a butthurt idiot if you interpreted the scene differently. Like I said, your dumbass opinion is irrelevant, because you are so blinded by bias you can't even comprehend the context of a death scene. Even someone who hasn't seen Reign of Fire and just watched that scene of itself wouldn't come up with the bullshit logic you did when you made this retarded thread. You are a moron, a pathetic moron, and a butthurt moron, who needs to be avoided since you obviously can't comprehend what's clearly happening in front of your own eyes. You're a mental Mr. Magoo.
you actually believe that if you keep applying your own exagerated opinions, you can somehow make it so he did not in fact commit suicide.

to look intimidating i suppose. notice he never actually swung the ax. maybe he was hoping the dragon would be scared off by his epic posing. (even tif the dragon had missed him, he still had gravity to consider)
the frame immediately before being gobbled up like a dragon-snausage:
(please log in to view the image)
ax was never swung.

Lol snausage! I'd like to think he intended to stike the dragon but was killed. Maybe he changed his mind mid jump? Idk why he didn't swing. He's stupid.
if van zan really tried to bury the ax into the dragon, it would have been at least a somewhat dignified end...though still completely ineffectual.

right lestov. the fact that he never swung the ax is completely superficial. he was so close to scaring off the dragon. just a bit more aggressive alpha-male posing and that dragon would have been like "YIPE!!!! YIPE!!!! YIPE!!!!!" flying off with its tail between its legs.

If he wasn't planning on swinging at the dragon, why was he prepping to swing at the dragon at 0:10, right before he was devoured? You are such an idiot.
BTW, this means you based your entire argument on that one picture you have, without bothering to actually research the scene. Again, you prove yourself to be a butthurt troll whose opinion is irrelevant
as can clearly be seen, ax was never swung. thank you.
:edit:
also lol@ "prepping"
van zan's brain: "prepare to swing ax"
van zan's arm: "preparing to swing ax, sir. orders?"
van zan's brain: "maintain holding pattern"
van zan's arm: "but sir, contact is imminent! awaiting orders!"
van zan's brain: "MAINTAIN HOLDING PAT- *crunch*"

the ax was never swung because the dragon ate him before he could. He was clearly intending on it. What are you trying to prove? Is it that you are a pathetic troll? Or is it that you are an idiot who can't comprehend an 11 second scene? Because you've succeeded quite well in both of those regards.
