Base jumper close call

Recommended Posts

Saw this and thought I would post. Amazingly it looks like all parties were OK. Sorry if it is a repost.

Hats off to all you base jumpers out there. That has got to take some serious guts . I think regular skydiving might just be my limit.
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I saw it a while back on Google video or Youtube I think.

That's enough to make you say the hell with base jumping with others. Looks to me like they didn't know what the hell they were doing or just didn't care they were doing something really stupid.

Yup pretty much. Kudos to those who can muster up the cojones to jump off a bridge. I like that nice margin of error I have when openning at 2500. Yes I know, I am a big fucking wuss.[:/]
