BASE jumping is a highly dangerous sport that can severely injure and kill participants. It may kill you. The moderators of BLiNC do not recommend BASE jumping to anybody!

Read the BASE fatality list and the Fatality Statistics page and think long and hard before making a BASE jump.

@see Wiki category Problems to learn about how to handle issues that can occur while BASE Jumping.

    Exclamation Tschech Dave fatality from Villa Ferrata July 7th

    I am very sad to actually write this, because I jumped with Dave on High Ultimate that morning.

    But from what I hear, this is what happened:

    Dave and Victor where jumping a 2-way from Villa Ferrata.

    Dave on Right with Tony Suit X-Bert, Victor was on left in V4.
    The witness stated at about 3 seconds, Dave carved a super fast left turn into the wall and impacted. I still do not know if there was any canopy out or not.

    Speculation was that the X-Bert left wing might have caught some burble from the V4, yet the right wing and tail wing inflated. This could explain the sharp left turn and fast forward speed.
