Quelling Rumors: TF Fatality 10/4

[Tom Aiello]

Just to quell some rumors:

There was a fatality from the bridge here yesterday.

This was not a BASE fatality. It was a suicide. The jumper left the bridge close to the regular BASE exit, and impacted between the lower landing trail and the upper (rocky) field, in the trees.

Jumpers had just finished a load, and two of them saw this fatality from the hiking trail as they climbed out.

Repeat: Fatality in Twin Falls yesterday was not a BASE accident.

And another one yesterday (Tuesday 10/12). It seems to be going around here. We had 3 in a week last fall as well.

I've called the Sheriff who has verified that this was not a BASE accident, but rather a suicide.
