Thread: Injuries due to LACK of safety gear

  1. Header
  2. Header-73

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.

    Question Injuries due to LACK of safety gear

    I would like to hear stories about jumpers that have been injured, or more severely injured due to wearing too little, or no safety gear at all on a base jump.

    Re: Injuries due to LACK of safety gear

    injuries arent DUE to not wearing saftey gear. they due to poor decisions jumping or flying. But injuries ca be mitigated and its smart do do so with armor etc.

    how about "stories of you guys that regret having not worn something"

    I would take it seriously; but it's serious and ridiculous at the same time. -sl
