jumperconway 0 #1 November 8, 2002 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ernokaikkonen 0 #4 November 8, 2002 Wow. I'm not sure if this was funny. I did chuckle aloud, but might have been because of the relief of not having to read about another addition to the List. edit: Ok it was funny. But not as funny as the time "Hungry" Joe Bloggs went in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #7 November 8, 2002 I clicked the link expecting a joke but prepared to quickly close my eyes and shut the window if it wasn't. Unfortunately I saw the horrific image for a split second before I could get it off my screen and fear I am scarred for life. How about some warning next time!!??

ernokaikkonen 0 #12 November 8, 2002 I justified my opening of the attachment with "If it's really a pic of someone who went in, I'll flame the poster and ask him to remove it.". Yes, people slow down to see traffic accidents. Such is human nature. Who was it that posted with the subject "Post deleted by Sangiro" a while back?

skygal3 0 #15 November 8, 2002 This is simply devistating. How could someone even think of photographing this? Let this be a lesson to all. Do not let his death be in vain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #16 November 8, 2002 Proper gear checks might have noticed the improperly attached rig that the person clearly fell out of before impact. Also can someone tell me the site that this happened at? Was it a BA or E jump, I doubt it was and S? Also who can we sue to prevent this type of senseless activity from happening again???Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
