sum1sneaky 0 #51 February 7, 2004 yeah, I was within 5 feet of that truck when he hit and I can still hear the sound resonate... and that was after he almost wound up in two different trees! Sorry who ever you are who rammed your noggin into that bumper, but you're going to find it tough to live that one down! I say all this knowing that some day, some where, I'll likely fuck myself up simmilarly so that it makes a loud noise... and then you can make posts about it on the internet. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
base311 0 #52 February 7, 2004 If a noggin' crashes into a bumper in the forest and no one's around to hear it... ...does it really make a loud noise for which internet heckling would be justified? careful what you say; just a few days ago I narrowly escaped a traffic situation on a major Atlanta interstate when a driver in front of me brainfarted and decided to pull into the HOV (high occupancy veh.) lane from a standing start (stop and go trafffice situation) and was forthwith creamed from behind (snicker) by a person minging his own business travelling efficiently in the HOV. I had pulled forward somewhat, so this happened right next to me. I commented to myself, "Self, you just narrowly avoided getting caught up in that mess." The next day I rear-ended a lady in an infinity while trying to merge into the next lane. I was looking back waiting for my slot to come by and the traffic in my lane stopped (a.k.a. merging madness). I hadn't been involved in an accident in 17 years. I guess the moral of the story is... be careful the comments you make. Gardner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinMcGuire 0 #53 February 7, 2004 I have never heard of any one who was hurt or killed because they wore body armor, but I have heard of people getting hurt and killed by not waring it. Out of all the jumps I have made, I have a total of two jumps with no body armor (both into water). Thats what make me feel good at the exit point. However I think wearing it or not wearing it should remain the jumpers choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpecialKaye 0 #54 February 15, 2004 Jason, It'll be really hard to put our pig ears on a helmet...LOL I believe it should be personal choice. If this were a building or cliff I could understand making them mandatory, however, for Bridge Day allow the jumper to make their own decision. Or, mandatory helmets for things such as the diving board like last year is a good implementation. We all know that BASE is an extremely personal choice.
