    So far, I've made 80 jumps. No base jumps; all from airplanes with plenty of altitude for the reserve, if needed (never did).

    People die every month doing this. The incidents are investigated and reported in Parachutist magazine and here. Most are avoidable by being aware and following procedure. Base jumping -- you may need to rely on luck a little more.

    I don't regret any money I've spent on this. How many people died in car accidents that never got to live? Skydiving is one of the few things that is as fun as advertised.

    Gratefully,
    Mac

    There I go!!!



    Honestly, base jumping sounds like so much fun to me, an extension of mountaineering!
    Yes, you can fly, but first you have to break out of that cocoon. You are capable of self rescue at all times. "Every blade of grass has its own special angel watching over it and whispering, 'grow...grow'." -The Talmud "I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be, for I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our disposition, and not upon our circumstances." -Martha Washington
