Living on the edge? BASE jumping is legal off a 480' bridge here and people come from all over the world to do it. We have several accidents a year, usually from someone doing something even more stupid than jumping in the 1st place.
For example, last summer 2 guys wanted to do a tandem so one stood on the railing of the bridge while the 2d climbed up on his shoulders. Before they were ready, the 1st one fell off. The 2d one hit the railing as he fell. The 1st one popped his chute but the 2d one came down on top of it and partially collapsed it. Amazingly they both survived but were in critical condition for a long time.
