BASE Jumping: Container failed catastrophically on opening

October 17, 2014


We think it is fair to say that when most people buy a rig they expect that it won’t fall apart if they pull the pilot chute in a track. We do dangerous shit. Knowledge, proper judgment and equipment are our only protection, and they will always be incomplete on all fronts. That’s why it will always be dangerous, and it can always be your last jump. Watch this video where a member from our community, base jumper Zoran, has a near death experience in Norway when his container failed catastrophically on opening.
