There have been six BASE fatalities this year and it's only August.

Carl Boenish once said (although he may not have followed his own advise), "BASE jumps are not to be gulped down like skydives."

Please be careful . . .

Hi Nick. Have you ever thought about honorable mentions for the list? For example, crater Nathan? Basically, an accident category that everyone can learn from hopefully submitted by the jumper him/herself.

It seems we're only getting vague learning from deaths where info is very limited when we could make much more progress learning from each other's near death accidents. Even I would submit something considering I impacted the ground once and shattered my femur. I should have been killed.

BASE has well defined rules and it seems like we're readily forgetting them.
