November 7, 2011 Base Jumping

That bridge looks like a gigantic PITA to maintain. Looks like no one even thought about the subject when they built it.

As for the BASE jumper that doesn't look right to me. I've never seen a base jumper use a parachute pack before. A pack increases the odds of a failure by many times. You need more chutes, like pilot chutes, and backup chutes, with a pack.
