Re: What the hell was he thinking?...
He was riding along as an observer, which is fairly common in skydiving. He had a seatbelt on and the camera guy checked to make sure he was belted in before they opened the door. It was a small plane that held 4 jumpers, so everyone was close together. He took his seatbelt off sometime between this...

Re: What the hell was he thinking?...
It was a suicide. The camera guy saw the observer jump out immediately after him and the tandem pair and basically went into shock.
I feel really bad for the camera guy. He's a real nice guy and he's got some major emotional damage from this.

Re: West Virginia
the New River Gorge Bridge! I've got somewhere around 60 base jumps off it. I've been to Bridge Day every year for the past 3 years as a jumper and was one of the base jumping safety coordinators last year. There's also some insane 75mph+ street luge runs out there. In the winter we're out there at ...

Toronto... and this was over 10 years ago... back when they didn't have 24h security on building construction sites. You say that like it makes jumping impossible... Anyhow, it's cool knowing that someone else here is somehow related to BASE. VV is probably the last place I expected to find anything.

damn that is sweet. I bet Xouqoa and Truant feel like a couple of pussies now Why? It's not like the technicalities of BASE jumping are common knowledge. Even most skydivers don't fully understand how we assess objects and go about planning things. Truant is actually pretty accurate with cars. Cars...

Climbing a 1500' tower without any gear but a parachute (10lbs) takes about 1 hour 15min. The jump down is about a 10 sec freefall with 5-15 seconds under canopy. People jump towers all the time, of my 110 BASE jumps, towers make up nearly half. As for the failed parachute comment, BASE canopies alm...

They'll probably have it up the next day it airs. That's my experience with most tv shows that the submitters follow.
