olyclimber Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Jeff H was going up the climb DH a couple years back when one of those guys came plummeting down after his chute failed to open properly or somesuch. The only thing that stopped him from cratering was his chute snagged on a pinnacle of rock or something like that. Jeff had to go up and help him get down.

spiderman Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 That's a short base jump! From the time they jump, to the time their feet touch the ground, is like 30 seconds. Also, landing on the railroad tracks. Wow! The jumper I talked to last week had a buddy who landed just before a train came flying up the mountain from the west. The train grabbed his chute and ripped it off his harness as the guy narrowly averted catastrophe by jumping out of the way. Â Short jump....even sketchier landing zone!
