Skydiving..

Saturday a BASE Jumper was killed when he pulled his chute late..

Huh..

Now, being a skydiver, I can tell you, the MOST IMPORTANT RULE is to PULL YOUR FREAKIN CHUTE!!!

This is the hand signal for PULL YOUR GODDAMNED 'CHUTE!

They hammer that into you from day 1. As a BASE jumper, he should have KNOWN exactly how long he needed. These guys have HUNDREDS of jumps under their belts. In the skydiving community, that's not alot, but it's enough that he should have known. My heart goes out to his family for their loss. However, but this guy, through his carelessness, could do great harm to the Sport of Skydiving, and BASE Jumping, specifically.
