    Base-jump: un Français de 36 ans se tue dans l'Oberland bernois
    LAUTERBRUNNEN - Un Français âgé de 36 ans s'est tué lundi en pratiquant le base-jumping dans l'Oberland bernois. Son parachute s'est d'abord ouvert correctement, avant d'effectuer une rotation de 180 degrés et de projeter l'homme contre la paroi rocheuse.
    Il a ensuite chuté dans le vide, a précisé la police cantonale bernoise. Début juin, deux autres adeptes de ce sport extrême avaient été grièvement blessés lors d'un saut près de Lauterbrunnen (BE).
    Le «base jump» est une forme de parachutisme qui consiste à se jeter dans le vide depuis un bâtiment, une antenne, un pont ou une falaise. Ce sport à risque est né aux Etats-Unis.
