• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

According to the article, the guy was jumping from the mountain base. Evidently, the writer has no clue was BASE jumping means.

My parachute never has time to open when I jump from a mountain base either. I get about 6 inches off the ground, throw the drogue, and, bang - right back on the ground. Really sucks - I never understood the allure.

Maybe others will learn from this and not jump off of perfectly good mountains.
