pocbase 0 #2 February 11, 2007 Is it the radiation? I jump E's mostly and wear boxer shorts rather than underpants. It's worked, I've got one kid so far and it's probably safer than jumping A's and wearing underpants.The bums will never win Lebowski, the bums will never win!

Andy_Copland 0 #9 February 11, 2007 When i met him he threw some crisps down and brought the pints to the table declaring he'd bought us dinner. I heard some funny stories that night, my deepest sympothy to his family and those who knew him most.1338 People aint made of nothin' but water and shit.

base615 77 #13 February 11, 2007 Absolutely gutted. I stopped jumping a few years ago and moved abroad so I hadn't spoken to Sean enough recently but for a couple of years I spent more time with him than anyone. He had a big influence on me and we had some good times. He was definately unique. I'm feeling for Vicki right now in particular, I know she'll get a load of support through this. Also thinking about all the lads back home, I know you guys are having a tough time. Be careful guys, I'm sick of losing mates. Craig BASE615 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What could you possibly hope to learn from knowing his gear and configuration anyway? It seems from the list, fairly clear, that BASEjumping is dangerous and no amount of experience or specific set of gear will keep you magically safe from harm. I never met Sean, but he was one of the few posters on here that I found their posts worthwhile. I've seen some of his videos. I have heard of his reputation. I would like to offer my condolonces to all his friends and family who might see this post. My thoughts are with the UK BASErs now, this was a huge loss for them.
