There's a bar somewhere in Belgium where you can attempt to drink 10 Duvels (light beer) in one hour. You have to wager 10 bux and if your attempt is succesful you get all the money ever wagered. Last guy who tried was rushed to the emergency room.

Fatalities, leaving a jumper behind, and the Pact.

Say you have a street with buildings to the left and right. There's snipers in some of the buildings. Say I get shot in the middle of the street with no cover and you, uninjured, have cover. 1. If I was injured, I would want for you to come and help me. Even if it meant risking your life. I would do the same for you. 2. If I looked dead but it's not quite sure, I would want for you to come and help me. Even if it meant risking your life. I would do the same for you. 3. If I was DEAD for sure. As in head blown off or whatmayyou. I would NOT want for you to risk your life over what USED to be me. If you were dead for sure, I wouldn't risk my life to retreive your body either. Frankly I would resent the fact that someone got his ass shot just because they didn't want to leave my dead body behind. I hope it is clear now how I feel about it. -

One of the things that motivates people to step up to the plate and take that extra risk is the commitment of their friends to do just that...to stand by them even in death... it's more complex than "what's in it for me?" Ok. Fair enough. Then let this be known for future reference: If you ever jump with me (or if I have the privilege to jump with you) you can go ahaid and leave my dead body behind. I PROBABLY won't leave you behind but I'm not sure. Please don't jump with me if you'd leave my body behind and wouldn't tell anyone where it is. Thx! -

About that whole Ranger thing...this is something completely different. I have heard stories about a ranger getting shot (and killed for SURE) and because his buddies didn't want to leave him behind, they got shot as well. Now I think that it's completely stupid (sorry) and pointless to get yourself hurt over a dead body. This is something completely different. The issue here is that neither of the two "buddies" have told anyone where the body is. And that's stupid and pointless as well. -
Sigh... So anyone wanna give me a link or something as to where I can get the original? Thx

Leaving the body of a friend exposed to the elements is not a plan. Leaving a mother to wonder what has happened to her son is not a plan. I've posted a link to the other thread in the Bonfire. Maybe someone knows who "Mike" is, and can obtain from him the information needed to recover Scott's body and give his mother a little peace. rl Seconded. What a louzy plan. Leaving the scene is one thing. Not properly informing the family is COLD and pointless. This thing bothers me a lot and I don't even know the guy. I usually don't give a toss...but this bothers me. Imagine being the family. My sincerest condolences! -
You're kidding right. What about the 341 Base movies over at skydivingmovies.com Ah well...whatever you decide.

Please don't bother. bsbd! Yuri. Oh go on. Bother.

If I ever make a first movie the music is gonna be debussy.

Somehow I'd rather have my shizzle sent to me late yet good, instead of fast and full of errors.

Well I sent a pm on what I should do to get a copy but didn't get a response... [mope]Guess I'm not a REAL member of the forum[/mope]

It's really cool but maybe a little extravagant.

Torrent would be great. Although you need (a) seed(s) who can up a decent amount of kb/s Direct download would be wonderful. But I wouldn't even mind paying for a copy if it's not outrageously expensive.

I laughed hard

Holy shit. That's near your village? Sweet.

Attempt failed. Also, from what I heard, the athmosphere wasn't what it should have been.

I saw a similar device YEARS ago. Only in that case the guy was sitting instead of lying down. The biggest danger for them was blackout. Due to the G-forces blood might flow out of the brain. Needless to say you can't afford a blackout or brownout (that's when you don't actually go out but your vision becomes blurred/impaired) even if i's only a few secs.

You guys worry too much. I'm not braindead.

How about alive and able to limp away?

At the end of the day the question wasn't answered. Let's say you have an object just over 100 ft and the landing zone is made out of diamond (the hardest I could think of). Would a Tard see you down safely?

Net wasn't cut. Just untied. That's why there were no charges. http://www.basejumper.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=114&start=0

I would LOVE to go to Japan and wouldn't even mind coughing up 800$ for the ticket. But I wouldn't even consider it if it was with people I didn't feel comfortable with for 100% (well...let's say 95% ) Shit like that can mess up a potentially GREAT trip. Good luck!

Wow. You'd think someone who's "earned" his number a long time ago wouldn't have such a narrow view on what the sport/life is about. Anyone can get a basenumber. It takes 4 jumps to get one. It says NOTHING however about who you are as a jumper/person, how you behave yourself, how you treat other people, your ethics etc etc. In other words it says nothing about the things that REALLY MATTER. I hope you are trolling or drunk because otherwise you haven't got a clue. Laff!

Why not do a tour? If you're gonna be away for 2-3 weeks you might as well travel around. Why don't I list what my country (belgium) has? 3 Great A's (and a few more that are not so spectacular) 1 Loowwwww S Some B's and O's No E's (well...there's one. But you'll be landing in either water or trees) For the love of God someone PM me on what exactly those UK O's are. I'm just curious. No location or name needed...just type of object.
