It is terrible but we got more jumpers than ever and maybe the fatalities per capita have not gone up that much.

Also keep in mind that many of us push their own limits much sooner than we are ready for because for one the bar had been raised so much (global peer pressure) and second many of us just like to push their limits just for the fuck of it, i.e. for the same reason that got us into BASE to begin with.

every year more and more pepole get into BASE so its logical that more fataliys happen...

it is sad but true...there will be more...

the sport got over the last years some kind of aggressive development....
hardcore tracking, arials, wingsiut....
we are pushing a limit that is already on the limit...
but thats ok as long we keep this in mind...

memento mori....
