It’s because BASE jumpers dive from the objects that they do that their sport is so much more dangerous than traditional skydiving. Even though a parachute is still employed, BASE jumpers run the increased risk of injury or death due to an increased proximity to cliffs, buildings and the like as they fall, and their time before impact is dramatically decreased from a traditional skydiving jump. Then there are folks like Jeb Corliss who take BASE jumping to an even more death-defying level. Corliss specializes in wingsuit jumping, a form of BASE jumping that is done without a parachute. — Sam Gardner MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have.

FlyingRhenquest 1 #4 July 28, 2013 None of my whuffo friends have any idea how those things work. You could tell them you have to go to Hogwarts School of Magic to learn to safely land one and they'd believe you. So who want to try to get the Fox reporter to reprint that?I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

Andy9o8 0 #8 July 28, 2013 If you write to the reporter, you'll probably get nowhere. If you write to the reporter's editor (and are respectful about it), you just might get them to print a "correction" blurb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
