Guest pop-notmyface Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 i was just reading the whole of www.basefatalities.info, and it turns out that the price for improvements is sky high. i don't think i'll ever want to do anyting like that..."Darren is doing a direct bag jump and the bag holder dropped the bag. The resulting 180 deployment put Darren into the building. He is jumping a sponsored canopy and carrying a box of "Milk Tray" chocolates in an attempt to emulate an advert running at the time where a mysterious bloke did extreme things to deliver the chocolates."

Hog Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I watched an interesting programme about base-jumping in Norway. One guy hit the rock face half way down and landed on a crevace. He had broken an arm and his legs. Rescuers couldnt get to him so he had to jump again before Hypothermia set in. He jumped off again at night and landed on the rocks below. Not nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pop-notmyface Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 actually, that was why i was looking through the list. but since i couldn't find a fatality with the description that fits the video, i guess he would have...unlucky.and, i think it would be a bit unconsiderate to put that video on the net if he had died...
