A friend of mine was engaged to a wingsuit base jumper. This guy wasn’t a noob. He had been doing it for years. One day he missed a turn or something happened and he went face first into a side of a mountain.
I’m not sure if this friend ever recovered from that experience. She has a tattoo of his finger point on her to remind her of him.
She told me that base jumping is one of the most dangerous sports.
you… needed someone tell you that?
I dont know much about extreme sports. Figured rock climbing without a rope is more dangerous.
That’s more controlled. You have time to stop and assess.
You can’t pause while falling.
I mean it’s no jai alai
