I was there on top when the base jumper landed on a steep rocky slope resulting in fractures and what ever else. About 9 jumpers were in area having recently jumped and went to help. The helicopter shortly arrived along with search and rescue. The accident was about 1 pm Thursday. Several hours later another jumper landed in the river and was also taken to the hospital. The headline in the local Twin Falls Times News Friday morning headlined: "A Bad Day For Base Jumping". Perhaps true but not representative of the routine jumps that take place yearlong on a regular basis. This appears to be a busy weekend with a couple of first jump courses. I'll leave it up to any base jumper who was around to provide more specific information.
