  2. Here is more another articel regarding tons forbid Cousin jumping in the valley which they discuss within the local community. May someone please translate it into English or summarize it for our colleagues abroad. Bernhard -- SOURCE: http://www.espace.ch/artikel_203130.html BASEJUMPING IN the LOUD WELL VALLEY local council examines a sprungverbot with the Basejumping in the loud well valley over Easter of again two men deadly had an accident. The population does not only employ. The local council wants clarity whether jumping can be forbidden. Upper country Municipality president Jost Brunner brought the topic to "Basejumpen" at the local council meeting of the Osterdienstag on the Tapet: "because it the people in the valley somehow busily and although we stand there in relation to a prohibition as it were powerlessly." After the two deaths over the Ostertage the local council decided to inquire the Federal Office for law brieflich whether at all possibilities exist to forbid the Basejumping in the loud well valley. Jost Brunner refers to the positive reaction of the Swiss cousin Association (SBA): The local council made the SBA attentive some time ago on the special area dust brook - the Lauterbrunner landmark -. Since that time observed to the Staubbachfluh only isolates Basejumper. Jost Brunner knows around the different opinions in the valley: "it is unpleasant, if deaths happen. It is to be noted that they cannot be prevented also in the Eigernordwand or at the matte horn unfortunately." Also prohibitions for other kinds of risk haven are hardly interspersable, believe Brunner. "not the large money" Ursula Feuz, president of loud well tourism, does not occur for a prohibition of the Basejumpens in the loud well valley: ", they are to do credit Springer joy in it it - however on own responsibility." If this extreme haven in the valley was forbidden, it was in another place implemented. "and who wanted to control", asks themselves Ursula Feuz. The Basejumper would bring not the large money in the valley, believes Ursula Feuz. They would come and went. It is conscious itself that the Basejumpen for inhabitants is unpleasant in the target area. She believes, wind and cliffs in the loud well valley by beginners was underestimated. "one must be able to turn around also, if unfavorable conditions require, remind it" Feuz. A zumutung Ruedi Gertsch, resident with the dust brook in loud wells, made over the Basejumpen at the municipality meeting from 16 June 2003 air already for its displeasure: "one zugemutet much with the < adrenalin hobby > and increasing night noise us." The engine driver intervened particularly because of its own family and the family of its brother. Rescue actions led in each case across their country and tightened 30 to 40 Gaffer. "four schoolable children became witnesses of a death fall - a shock for adults", gives to consider Ruedi Gertsch retrospectively to the at that time already approximately ten-year scene. "as the dust brook, jumped Basejumper was lit up also at night", attaches Gertsch. "prohibition would be bad" His Mrs. Brigid looked for contact via InterNet and E-Mail to Basejumpern. "three Springer even agreed upon a meeting with us", tell Brigid Gertsch. But two jumped before the settled date into death, and third had fear of its dog - not however before the Fluhspringen... A Robert Hinden with unknown quantities origin apologized in the name of all Basejumper in writing at family Gertsch with the dust brook. He can understand Ruedi and Brigid well. It is however unfair to throw all Basejumper into the same pot. But black sheep give it also. "however would be still worse to have to suffer from it - if Basejumpen in Switzerland was forbidden", wrote Hinden. Brigid and Ruedi Gertsch determine progress. With the dust brook one jump only rarely. Probably, Gertschs believe an internal agreement of the Basejumper. "today the Basejumper does not disturb us any longer, if they jump, say outside of inhabited areas < normally > and only during the day" Ruedi Gertsch. But the frequency of the accidents is too large, supplements it. Also in the winter Kaspar Gertsch, forstarbeiter from Muerren, can explain itself the change as the starting point Buchenfluh further valley inward to the Muerrenfluh well: "the way to the starting point dust brook often froze." Everyone knows that the Basejumper would loose-pull year out, year in from the restaurant Winteregg. The distance in the air line up to the "nose" Buchenfluh measures approximately 700 meters. "you continue to say it each other to use the summer way up to the old saw", mean Kaspar Gertsch. From there exist as it were a "Waegli" by the hard-to-travel and partly steep forest - also in the winter. What do you mean? Their opinion to this topic interests us.

    BASE ETHICS

    i can tell you in miami the workers write stuff all over the walls elevators, stairs so it would not get a notice. well , most of it is in spanish... i work in the highest buildings being built here and are in them daily... The major factor is theft of appliances in Miami highrises not jumping.... The only reason holding anyone back is that you would not want to spend the night in jail in Miami!...Also do the last weeks tower collaps, they have been checking all the buildings and cranes this last week. I see heavy activity around the tower braces and where they add sections.. they where jacking one crane up and the floor braces gave out, the crane dropped several feet as well as taking out a chunk of the floor where the two guys where standing . One didnt make it.. In the end...the universe has a way of working itself out.... "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle"

As soon as he gets the rest of his legs from the knee down connected he will probally post them.. I would bet that even with legs only down to the knee thay would kick ass.... Suggestion to VKB......
