LouDiamond 1 #1 January 8, 2003 This is HORRIBLE! If you have a weak stomach, then don't look at the attached picture.....it is a picture of a jumper that of course met his demise, with his insides now on the outside. You will see the look of horror on the faces of the bystanders."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pop 0 #2 January 8, 2003 OH MY GOD!!!!! This is too vivid. I can't believe what I just saw. CAUTION: This picture is very visual. Do not look at it if you cannot handle looking at insides!!!!!!!!7 ounce wonders, music and dogs that are not into beer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 January 8, 2003 Shit, what was that, a no-pull, or did they cut away his canopy after he landed? Eitherway, god damn!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure about the details right now as they are still coming in. This is still so new that i haven't had a chance to cross post it to the incident forum.

Archives jumperconway Enthusiast (Full Profile) Nov 8, 2002, 9:31 AM Post #1 of 43 (800 views) Copy Shortcut Base tragedy or suicide-WARNING VERY GRAPHIC! Quote | Reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a warning to all you would be base jumpers. Base jumping is very dangerous! Gear checks are just as important when base jumping. We heard about the cameraman that went out of the plane without his rig, now it looks like it's happened in base. The final report is not in yet but the authorities are investigating. Don't be surprised by the looks on the faces of those poor soles who witnessed this first hand. Once again, this is extremely graphic and not for the weak of heart or stomach!There is some strange yellow fluid coming from the abdominal area. Do not look at this before breakfast!When I get the final report on exactly what happened, I think that I will have this moved to the Incidents Forum. I don't want to speculate on this tragedy until I have all the facts, so that we can all learn from this so that it is not repeated! BSBD If you're gonna be hard-headed, you better have a H A R D head!

LouDiamond 1 #18 January 9, 2003 Reports of the accident continue to come in and based on the stories I think there is more to this story. Apparently, the victim had only been laid once in his life and was distraught."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
