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 Injury in the Vally from High Nose...?

    I just heard there might be another incident from High Nose?

    Argentinian man, name I am not sure of, Funckenda??? Air Glacier told us he was in stable condition when they medevac him to the hospital.

    Came to the valley by him self.

    (Second hand information)
    Went off the High nose slick, possibly had tracking pants on but no track top.
    Took a short delay and opened right beside the wall. Jumpers on load described his exit to be poised and not a very good launch off the exit.

    (first hand account)
    I witness the opening and strike, followed by four more strikes afterwards. Opened in line twist, 180 and immediately hit the wall. Canopy was a mojo and had a really hard time staying inflated. We don't have any contact info for him and would like to get his canopy back to him. The canopy is currently at the Horner Pub, down stairs in the laundry room.
    Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP WITH DATA?

    No fatality, the jumper was back from the hospital today and walking around with just bruises and scratches.
