I thought this country was founded on freedom...isnt it great that you can go to this bridge in idaho and jump it legally during the day without stress?
I doubt it will help, but here goes...
when an individual chooses freedom, they must accept the responsibility as well. thus freedom is not the same as recklessness.
if the carnage continues, I would NOT fear a law against jumping from the bridge. I would fear a charge of reckless endangerment (or something similar). would a jury of 12 feel the waterfall jump was planned sufficiently?
you decide and are free to act accordingly.
DON'T PANIC
The lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
sloppy habits -> sloppy jumps -> injury or worse

Greeting.
I do not post here as my country has no dropzone, and its very small set of jumper at base are not much like community here, nor have gear like you have. I am struck by what you say as I begin looking for people online and reading information about sports activities I like. Do you not remove legitimacy from your sport by removing legal site for it. Excuse me for not understand but if you say this bridge should be made illegal because of reasons then you also say that base jumping is not a legitimate activity in the same breath. You say that base jumping is only for certain few, and certain few should be allowed to do it, and it should be illegal because this will insure only these certain few do it. Those few then, are breaking the law that so many fight hard to change, and those few should be punished in your line of thought for being dumb enough to be caught??????? I think you step over the line by say this and maybe think only you special to do BASE.
Maybe I misunderstand though, but your post make me register and post my view...

Legitimacy or being legitimate. If your talking about Legality (the law) as being the grantor or giver of Legitimacy. That's is a big argument that has been going on since the beginning of time.
but YES, Legal Legitimacy is both a Giver & Denier of BASE access. It has a great weight in the Social Acceptance to the average public and the way they view. The Practice of Throwing the Human Body off fixed object with a Parachute.
I made the statement "Maybe it would not be such a bad idea to make that Bridge ILLEGAL to BASE jump off of ??? " Because I am a insensitive and sarcastic Prick.
Hamid, your statement of:
.."it should be illegal because this will insure only these certain few do it. Those few then, are breaking the law that so many fight hard to change,"
You see Hamid, No One fought for Legal Legitimacy of BASE access to jump off Twin Falls Bridge. It was always Legal. I am stating that there will be a LOSS of freedom that was never fought for. With a sarcastic remark to (flyhigh) of making it, illegal to jump. Legal Legitimacy that quit possibly will be denied eventually if things Do Not Change. like Easy Come & Easy Go - (another light sarcastic remark).
I personally will make access to ANY OBJECT that I deem jumpable. Legal or illegal to jump.
I am NOT Special but grant Legitimacy to Myself to jump this Bridge if the loss of Legal access is denied. If FREE Access is taken away due to irresponsible recklessness. All responsible BASE jumpers I am sure would adopt the same attitude of Self-Proclaimed Legitimacy as myself if they chose jumping. Thats what BASE jumpers Do.
