A riddle

Has anyone heard this riddle before?

"You're walking along in a barren desert. You find a suitcase lying in the middle of the desert. Shrugging, you continue along. Half a mile later, you find a man dead. He isn't wearing any clothes, and no footprints besides your own or hoofprints are visible. What happened?"

If you know the answer because you've heard it before, just comment, "I know the answer." If you haven't heard it before, post your guesses.

He dropped from the sky and is suitcase fell half a mile away from him.

Misty was closer.

The man was part of an expedition across the desert via hot air balloon. The wind ripped a tiny hole in the balloon, causing them to lose altitude. They began throwing off everything they could to keep in the air, including their clothes. When they were still dropping, they threw off what they still could: the man.

That's sick.

But good.
