in case of death

**jupija** · November 21st, 2006, 04:24 AM

im in B.A.S.E. for 4 year, but thank god i never had to b close when someone went in. Due to a anormous nr. of deaths this year, im putting up this question - what r procedures in case someone whitneses death of a jumper - please post some of your experiences, what to expect ...

That's a tough one to answer. I'm sure there will be plenty of additions to what I say. But I give my ground crew basic instructions.

First.... Be SURE I'm dead. No need to shake the kid in a coma with a broken spine.

Then remove my rig if at all feasable. no sense wasting gear or letting the authorities know it was base related.

Then get away from the scene. Go to a payphone near by and make an anonymous call to the police, something about a suicide jumper or something.

Then later, after the sh't storm has settled, let my parents know it wasn't suicide.

This question is NOT new.
I actually took off work for 8 months to create a system (http://www.yoursos.com (not live right now). One (1) person paid the $29.99/year service, and not one other person was interested. Showed that people really don't want to think of such a thing. Thus, I lost a hell of a lot of money on the project and it is dormant as we speak.

We tried BASE Dog Tags once with blood type, existing med problems, and who to call, but that didn't go anywhere either.

We probably tend to think either we'll wind up with a beer, or dead, and not much about anything in-between . . .

I think that Dog Tag thing is a good idea... You dont always jump with people that know you well, and you dont always talk about "what if" to new people you jump with....

Dog tags seem like a great idea to me too. I'm going to get one with all that info.

You should ONLY get bragging rights on getting laid with the dead guys helmet in the bathroom. Only if it was with his BASE jumping Girlfriend. You should also get a set of Dog-Tags with all you personal info to wear. To alert authorities to check your pockets if you are found anywere near an BASE accident. Pilfering a pair of Danners and nice Sunto off a dead BASE jumpers arm ? Next you will be telling us you might also might dabble in homosexual necrophilia as well, before the body cools off.

Sorry for the offtopic, maggot, but I am a non-native speaker of English, and while I think I read, write ands speak a good "standard" English, I have difficulties in reading all your posts: does it come natural to you to write like that or do you put some effort in the way you write?

**jupija** · November 23rd, 2006, 05:43 AM

magot when i read your post i really have to smile couse i never know where is the thruth with u and if u r really a base jumper... just before this really gets out of topic im want to stress out what is really my point, im asking if anyone ever had been on exit with someone that went in - what did athorities wanted to know, di u had any additional troubles with police or so, do they emidiatly take the body to morge, plus who can transport the body, do the family has to come to pick it up....

maggotrules · November 23rd, 2006, 09:24 AM

I only jump illegal objects witha very tight crew off guy's and never more than
2 others
so I reduce my chances of one of us getting killed by jumping with guys that no there **** . and i very rarely take out low timers.
And no i never had to deal with the cops when some one went in I just vanished but thats what ninjas do
death is not really an issue for me its all though i wish it was
death has made me numb.

And RAY i would love to F---- some dead guys ass but no won would ever let me thay say its disrespectful. or some **** like that

And yes the fact that my spelling and inglish sucks is no big secret

Ha ha ha aha ha aha .....

You dumb fukc!!! you think I know my sh1t..? Boy have I got you fooled.

Dude, haven't you heard, I'm next in line for the bounce bingo list. all the really cool basejumpers at the ranch know that I'm insane, reckless, and about to go in.... Didn't they tell you? I thought that was why you gave me that watch, so you could get it back.

But now that I've read this thread. I'm going to start jumping w/lube in my pocket. Maggot never was good at finding a pulse, and I don't wan't to come back to consciousnes with a ripped A hole.

Yo,
I have been present when a close friend was killed BASE jumping. We were a crew of 4 and when he died the police arrived within 10 minutes. They questioned us for over 2 hours in the field where my friend lay dead. Finally, we were released and the next day had to pick up his car and personals from the police station, drive his car back to his family and tell them what happened.
It was absolutely the worst experience in my life, and unfortunately, if you BASE jump, it will eventually happen to you.
I sent you more info. in a PM but it bounced

I hope you never have to go through it, take care and stay safe,

dude I dont know where u live but in NYC if u get cought
u are gonna get the beat down and a knight stick up your ass
and while on a normal day that would be fun. its not when they stick it in 2 feet. I mean i can take a big one but not 2 feet.

I mean if i lived in England or some other 3rd world country like that I would just give the cops 50 bucks tell them thats more than they make in a week
and go by there 10 kids buritos or what ever kids eat.
