The111 1 #1 November 17, 2003 I apologize if this has been posted before... a search failed to turn up what I was looking for. I'm curious what some of the highest jump numbers are. I read in an older post that less than a dozen BASE jumpers have over 1000 jumps, and I was under the impression that no one had over 2000, but this weekend someone told me that Yuri has over 6000. Is this true? Hopefully this doesn't sound like a BASE whuffo question. I'm just curious.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomAiello 25 #2 November 17, 2003 I'd bet there are around 20 people with more than 1000 jumps. I suspect that someone may break 2000 soon, but I also believe that no one has done so as of yet.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toni 0 #4 November 17, 2003 Sure, some french people should have over 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbla4024 0 #5 November 17, 2003 Are you sure? I live in France and I haven't heard about such number. I think Eric F has something like 1200 and I thought he is one of most experienced french jumpers. BTW there was nice article in Paramag (June03?) about their base expedition to Madagaskar.

TomAiello 25 #6 November 17, 2003 As far as I know, EF and Z are the most experienced french jumpers. I don't believe either of them is over 2000 yet. I suspect that the most experienced jumper on earth (in number of jumps) is French.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pbla4024 0 #9 November 17, 2003 In skydiving you have about 70 thousand jumps for one fatality. Nobody could have 70 000 jumps. What is same number in base? 5000? 1000? I think most experienced jumpers could be above this amount. And what is probability distribution? Exponencial? Or power? This could be very interesting number.

The111 1 #13 November 17, 2003 Eh, I don't really care if someone has 1500 jumps or not, I just really doubted that someone had 6000, which was why I made the post.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
