Friend of mine Katie died a few years back BASE jumping out in California. Her boyfriend was a wingsuit designer and died trying to save her. They drowned. We had talked about it and she wasn’t too keen on dying. She just thought she was good enough to avoid mistakes. Numerous times I told her she should consider giving it up. Very nice girl. Dang good nurse

The all time dumbest Darwin off this bridge was a couple years ago. A 70+ year old guy came up with a spectacular jump plan. His assistant sprayed his chute with some kind of highly flammable spray. The plan was to light the chute on fire just before he jumped. Then he'd jump, release the chute, and then pop his real chute. Things went wrong. The wind pushed enough of the spray to his clothes so that when the assistant lit it, the fire jumped from the chute to his clothes and HE went up in a ball of flame. He went off the bridge but wasn't able to drop the burning chute. He hit the water in flames. Very dead. It was a 'spectacular' jump for sure.


Daaamn talk about dancing with the devil.

Yeah, she performed CPR but he died anyway. Yes, CPR almost never works. Like 99 percent of the time.
And it really never works for trauma cases. I can't believe how the American Red Cross pushes this BS.

Dumbazz..

I did plenty of terrifically dangerous stuff before I was married and had kids. For Uncle Sam (pay) and otherwise. Once you marry, you have responsibilities to another. At least he didn't leave any kids behind like that POS youtuber who kanked himself flying a parasail with a fan strapped to his azz.
