This is hard to watch. Though the BASE jumper survives.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
The original video has more detail.
… BASE jumper Richard Henriksen … a father-of-five, then flies off the cliff head-first as onlookers watch in horror. …
In an extremely lucky chain of events, Henriksen narrowly missed falling against the rock face of the cliff and managed to open his parachute on the way down, NRK TV reports. …
Henriksen, who works as a surgeon at St. Olav’s Hospital, said he had operated on some of his closest friends who had been in BASE jumping accidents. …
Obviously they should not have chained that Bar with only 4 points of attachment. I’d have used 8 minimum.

Oh…and Lance Armstrong was a dirty cheat. I told you fanbois that years ago. Eat truth!

What the hell does Lance Armstrong have to do with this?
I do recall, TCO.
Thanks, Rick. You are a good guy (ignore my other posts, please).
I like that you are willing to let someone speak even who you disagree with (is amazingly rare…kudos to you).
Wow, lucky to be alive. Use more bolts next time!!!!!
