TomAiello 26 #26 March 18, 2006 QuoteQuoteInfact a few years ago a jumper had to have his leg amputated. Ask him if it was all that bad. That wasn't actually during bridge day itself, but at an 'extra-curricular' activity around the same time. There has been more than one incident with this type of outcome. I know of at least one on Bridge Day itself, and one during the extra-curriculars. Unfortunately, I managed to be one of the folks helping pick up both of those accidents.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicrussell 0 #27 March 18, 2006 I was speaking of the jumper that hit the RR tracks after clearing line twists. Its on Johnny Utah's BD carnage video. If you really want to jump, watch some of this tragic video. Gives a person a little perspective of what happens, not what CAN happen, what happens.

Faber 0 #28 March 18, 2006 any jump were i need a docs attention has not been sucssesful... I can understand why people WANT to land at the LZ even as theres boats now then 1(if i rember correct) drowned in the river.Whith all respect for the guys in the boats(which were placed to prevent such) ill give it a shoot for dryland aswell im not taking a chance to drown on a jump if i can avoid it.. that said people(me inkluded) dont like wet gear,unless its meant to be so.. Coco,i also learned alot of that stuff but if you do even a bigger search you´ll find more q´s to pop upsoon as you solved one thing.. its called progression,that way all jumpers will keep learning if they has a usual jump life.. The day i think i cant learn more about this sport i hope i realice that im either too old to jump or let go of it and find somthing else.. thinking that you know evrything has killed people before and will keep doing so..

TomAiello 26 #29 March 19, 2006 QuoteI was speaking of the jumper that hit the RR tracks after clearing line twists. Yup. I was working the landing area for that accident, and got to help with some of the pick up. Will Forshay shot very good footage of the accident, didn't he? You can find it on his excellent Lemmings Extreme, and also on the Lemmings video for that specific year (I believe it was 1999).-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bert_man 0 #30 March 20, 2006 Sorry, I was thinking of a different incident as Tom pointed out. I saw the video of that and it did not look good -Ghetto "The reason death cannot frighten me, is because life has cured me of fear."
