  • whats the name of the song and artist

  • @duncanboner its at the end of the video!!!!!!!!!!!

  • RIP Brian We will love you froever!

  • I don't recall the facts on this jump.. was it a low pull? or did he have a malfunction of some kind? I see the slider up at the time of impact... did he have a hung up slider? or just hum it down too low?

  • @Cricket202 he was an older man so i dont think he tried to make that low of a pulll im pretty sure it was a malfunction

  • way to put a damper on everyone's day by dying

  • RIP Brian....................... Thank you Mark . This video reminds me how short life really is. Live every moment ,love every day ,before you know it you might just slip away,See you all in a few weeks. Peace

  • all my respect to all base jumpers !!!!!!!!!!

  • Let's see, am I right that a "D" license holder must "pull" at 2,000 feet? And is BASE jumping legal? Would doubt it; probably most are "outlaw jumpers" (uuuuuhhhh, I'm scared!!). Just wondering, because 800-900 feet is DEATH waiting for a place to happen. But, at the bar, you can exeude your manliness with all the girls, going uuuuuuhhhhh!! Been there. B-6370

  • @mmichaeldonavon

    Ummm. Where have you heard of this license crap? BASE jumpers have no licenses haha. They do what they want, where they want and pray to God they don't get caught or die. :) BASE jumping is legal, but finding a legal place to jump from is the hard part, so most jumps are done illegally.

  • Comment removed

  • @mmichaeldonavon there's no way you can be a skydiver and not be able to see the reasoning behind BASE. a C or D license holder has to pull at 2k if they want to obey the rules of USPA. BASE jumping is 100% legal. trespassing, however, is not.

  • ahsearching for a person who will act like a man when the time is right

  • He had a slider hangup. With no reserve, he was screwed. That's what makes base jumping so dangerous, the lack of backup reserve.

  • It really is unfortunate. Even if there was a reserve there would be now time to open it.

  • -- A...loch --

  • Do What You Love.

  • Lol everyone has thumbed you down, I thought it was funny my self.

  • @dozerman09

    Try not to be an asshole dozerman. He was doing what he loved and screwed up. Just because you wouldnt have the guts to do it doesn't mean he was a dumbass. he had been doing it for 40 years before he died. I have known people who had only been driving for a year when they died in a car crash and they weren't dumbasses, even if it was their fault. they just screwed up. So try to have some respect for a person who died doing what they loved

  • Think about it this way, in a way, everyone who does this "sport" is a "dumbass". You're risking your life for doing something you love, yes but in the end you're risking your life for something which, all in all, isn't something you're required to risk your life for.

    I doubt Dozerman had a lack of respect, he was just stating the obvious.

    I respect Michael Jackson but I still think that he was slightly to personal with child boys (Though I don't think he abused them).

  • @harrier125

    Ok, think about it this way. I do believe it is necessary to drive. But if you have chosen to take a road trip or drive anywhere for a destination of enjoyment, then you were risking your life for something which, all in all, isn't something you're required to risk your life for. So i believe it is invalid to call this man a dumbass, without admitting that you yourself are in fact a dumbass.

  • Daniel said it perfect, and I doubt Dozerman was saying "Ummm... was his nickname Dumbass?" with any respect. That is not stating the obvious, it is stating your opinion in a disrespectful manner. It is disrespectful.

  • @harrier125

    so sick of people saying its a stupid risk. to live sometimes u need to push yourself. If we didnt have rick takers the modern world would not be what it is now.

    everyone dies but not everyone lives.

  • @MMABJJ1987 You don't need to jump off a Helicopter and narrowly miss a bridge to live.

  • are you that close minded that you dont see different people enjoy different things? as i said before we need risk takers.

    you feel more alive when you do base. try it, see its a skill, and a feeling like no other.

  • @MMABJJ1987 I'm not close minded, I just realise how selfish it is.

    Risking your life every day just to get a high, which, by the way, can be done in safer conditiions, also, imagine his family and loved ones, what the fuck do you think is going through there heads, every. Single. Day?

    It seems like you're the close minded one, not thinking about other beings.

  • @harrier125 I dont know any base jumper that jumps everyday.

    And i know the loved ones of base jumpers and sure they worrie but not enuff to stop them doing somthing they love. I get more worried about my mates driving down a dogdie road at night then if there out jumping. you cant live for other people all the time, you have to live for urself somtimes. im not close minded (and im sure ur not) but jumping makes your life richer. if you dont like it, dont do it. but dont push it onto others

  • @MMABJJ1987 I've seen 2 documenteries on Base Jumpers that do it every day or night.

    Also, you really get worried about your friends driving a car more than them jumping off a cliff?

    That's, really, really retarded.

    And I'm not going to say don't do it, but these guys here, they done it every single week, multiple times, that's extremely sad for there family, can you imagine that?

  • you watched a couple of documenteries and you think you know it? as i said i dont know any people that jump everyday. and i know alot of jumpers.

    i know my mates and I have trained for years to get into base and i kno how safe it is. driving a car at 60mph towards other cars at 60 mph with a licence that took them a month or 2 to get and not knowing if the other person is drunk,tired,on the phone is more daughting to me. i do it every week my family are happy.

  • @MMABJJ1987 I think I know it? When did I say that? Try not force your words on others, please.

    You know a lot of Jumpers? Please, don't lie to make your self look like an expert, though, if you did know many Jumpers, that wouldn't make a difference, you're obviously biased towards them.

    And you actually being a jumper proves you're biased, thus, you're not able to argue any more, your thoughts will obviously favour your sport, I have no stance on it, I've seen both sides, you haven't.

  • you are trying to force your feelings onto us.

    Ok i dont kno loads of jumpers i know about 15-20 including my partners. i do now most of their familys aswell and sure they are worried but they know its what we love. its not selfish doing somthing you love.

    Im not getting personal and trying to insult you so please dont insult me .try and talk to me like an adult.

    I dont agree with what your saying. I know what your saying, but as someone who knows and is involed i think you are wrong.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Okay, so I proved you had been lying, which means nothing you say is now safe.

    Doing something you love CAN be selfish, doesn't mean it's entirely bad, but, let's say I loved Alcohol, by drinking it all the time, I increase my chance of death, and my family can't do anything because I love it.

    You just lied, I think I'm the adult here.

    And I've proven it's selfish, so, no, I'm not wrong.

  • ha stop being such a kid ...i did lie about anything. everyone over Exaggerates. I do kno 'loads' of jumpers if i kno 20 thats alot because there is not alot in england.....so get over it.

    Its not alcohol...its not drugs....it does not change who i am. base is a way to have fun, not everything in life is safe so stop being such a drama queen. do faimlies of jumpers moan to u? no.so why does it concern u.why waste ur time looking at base jump vids just to disergree with it? Nothing better to do?

  • @MMABJJ1987 You just admitted you lied and over exaggerated things, your words are no longer worth anything, you should realise that.

    Also, there are thousands of Jumpers in England, 20 isn't "alot", stop trying to justify your lie.

    It may not change who you are, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect others around you, something you've yet to realise and stop denying.

    Someone is risking there lives for an adrenaline rush, how am I being a "drama queen"?

  • @MMABJJ1987 They don't moan to me, no, but that doesn't mean I can't be correct, why do people's families have to moan to me for me to be correct? Are you that stupid? You're thinking like a child!

    I read into the subject, and seen the slight positive side to it and the immense down side to it, so I decided to join a discussion about it, how is that "nothing better to do"? Just because some of us enjoy things which won't kill us means we have nothing better to do? Kids these days...

  • first of all, go back to wiki there are not thousands of jumpers in england.

    You are just saying 'you lied wa wa wa' because you are losing your arguement.

    Get over it would you, worrie is what people do everyday. there is plenty of other stuff that will kill you.

    Your boring me with your input in a sport that you kno nothing about. nothing you say means anything. you dont know a single person from the familie of a base jumper so your just guessing they worrie to death all the time

  • @MMABJJ1987 First of all, there is, are you going to sit there and tell me you know there is under 1000 Jumpers? No.

    You did lie, multiple times, and FYI, I'm winning this with facts, not lies, remember, YOU'RE the one who lied.

    I know there is other stuff, but that doesn't mean this is less selfish, kid.

    Nothing I say means anything when I don't lie and have actual information on it? Sorry, you're getting us confused.

    I don't, but I've heard of HUNDREDS.

  • @MMABJJ1987 "baww i no peepl who jump so i muz no moorrr!", get this through your head, people don't have to actually, personally KNOW people to know about a subject.

    Also, you realise that your argument REALLY is pathetic, it consists of lies, horrible opinions and retarded facts, such as you stating there is less than 1000 Jumpers in England, that's just fucking stupid.

    You like jumping, that's why you'll defend it with lies and all sorts to make it look good, you have no say.

  • Look at what you write...thousands ..there are not thousands of jumpers in england..and i doubt very much there is more then a thousand, please tell me where ur 'facts' are from.

    I aint lied so get over it. ur like a little girl.

    base jumping is NOT selfish. go get a life insted of wasting ur time on youtube vids talking about somthing you kno NOTHING about.

    Now shut up...convo over ur boring as fuck......go base jump and live!

  • @MMABJJ1987 There are over 51 Million people in England, and you think there are less than 1000 people who do what you do, also, you claimed that you knew "lots" a few comments ago, so you seem to be contradicting your self, oh so obviously...

    You did lie, you even ADMITTED you lied, kid.

    Base jumping has a selfish side to it, of course it does, you like it, thus you don't see that selfish side, whilst people who don't like it, can see it.

    Also, nice to see you admit defeat.

  • @MMABJJ1987 I assume when you say "convo over ur boring as fuck" you mean "I lost the argument, you're correct, and if you reply I will not be replying back as a sign of my resignation of this argument".

    PS. You say I'm boring as "fuck", yet you're also part of this argument, thus, we would both be boring as "fuck".

    Now, you little moronic retard, I assume you'll go cry to your Jumper friends, who you said there are many of, then said there isn't.

    Obvious lying is obvious.

  • yes....less then 1000 do it..less then 500 do it in england. please tell me where you are getting these facts from? stop beating round the bush? u are wrong..... if u dont like base jumping...dont do it...dont watch it. why does in concern u if people do it? just cos we find it fun. get over it.

    now i wait for 'i won i won' if u think u won, then congrats. would u like a sweetie?

    people will always base jump. people will never listen to ur views.

  • @MMABJJ1987 51 Million people in England and you SOMEHOW, know near enough the EXACT number that do it, stop lying all ready, I know you're full of shit so I don't trust you in the first place, but you lie EVEN MORE!

    Facts? Sorry, but there is almost 52 MILLION people in England, and you say that out of that 52 Million, less than 500 do a POPULAR sport. GTFO, NOW.

    Where is YOUR fact? Oh sorry, all your "Facts" are LIES, you even ADMITTED to lying.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Also, nice saying you're going to stop arguing then going against your own word, shows you can't even trust your self.

    And I have won, you lied about knowing tons of Jumpers, then turned around and said there is almost none, you're full of shit, I caught you out and you even admitted it, multiple times.

    Also, saying that I'm going to say I'm won doesn't mean I haven't, don't try twist such simple things to be in your favour...

  • @MMABJJ1987 People will always Jump, I didn't say they wouldn't.

    You're a person (A very stupid one at that), you're listening to my views, HOW THE FUCK DID YOU COME OUT WITH "people will never listen to ur views." when YOU are, RIGHT, FUCKING, NOW!

    Honestly, I've yet to meet a more foolish person than you, and I doubt it will happen.

    You lie, contradict your self, say things then take it back, you're a fucking disaster, how was such a feeble minded retard, such as your self, ever born?

  • i have took 1 thing back...i said i knew loads, when really i know quite a few...not really the lie of the year. not even a lie. obv u have some deep seeded problem with that....must have been a abusive childhood.

    And i didnt say the EXACT number

    now how about u get off the internet, go get a gf..and a life and shut the fuck up. cos we all kno ur some 40 year old man with a stain on his t shirt.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Yea, you took that thing back because I caught you out lying, you dumb fuck.

    It was a lie, I caught you out, and you've lied more than once, kid.

    And abusive childhood? Now you have no real fact to prove me wrong, so you say some random shit, how childish, really.

    You said you know that England has just under 500, that's pretty exact, kid.

    Me get off the internet? I've been proving you wrong, kid, remember, winner stays on!

    And just because I can spell, doesn't mean I'm 40, kid.

  • HAHAHA..u really think theres more then 1000 base jumpers in england? show me this research that is telling u there is more then 1000 jumpers in england.

    Man ur boring as fuck. you dont kno a thing about base and ur making shit up ...like theres more then 1000 base jumpers in england.... ur just wrong.....go away...kid.

  • @MMABJJ1987 I don't think, I know, also, you didn't show any evidence, unlike me, to show your theory of there being less than 500, thus, I'll go ahead and assume you're still BSing.

    And I JUST TOLD YOU HOW I KNOW THERE IS MORE THAN 1000! Learn. To. Read.

    I'm boring as fuck? Sorry, are you not use to having a intellectual argument (Despite all the intellect coming from me)?

    I'm "just" wrong? That's the only proof you have, I'm "just" wrong?

    What a fucking pathetic retard you are.

  • yeah and somtimes u slip up and say uk....guess ur perfect...just loading this vid then i can prove theres less then 500...so shut up a min.

  • @MMABJJ1987 I haven't slipped up.

    I'm not perfect, far from it, but I'm the sky and you're the ground.

    That last "sentence" made no sense, and if you're trying to imply that this video contributes to your argument of there being only 1000 Base Jumpers, and 500 in England (How come they're all in England, yo'?), then you're, again, dreadfully wrong.

  • Ok dickhead. watch this (the men who jump off buildings) you can find it on 4OD....if you type 'the men who jump off buildings' in GOOGLE UK you will find it....15 ;29 sec's in..listen to what is said. alot less then 500

  • Dont try and say i said theres 1000 in the UK and 500 in england.....i said theres less then 500...i wasnt sure on how much less. but i knew it was wayyyyy off what u was saying.

  • @MMABJJ1987 You said there was 1000 Worldwide, not just the UK, don't try twist around what you said, AGAIN.

  • OMG...show me where i said worldwide...look at the comments below...admite it...you are WRONG!

  • @MMABJJ1987 You implied Worldwide.

    And, obviously, you don't understand how an argument works, I've shown a huge amount of evidence, all proving you wrong, and you've shown me NOTHING but lies and deceit.

    Get over it, I proved you wrong, learn to cope with THAT at least.

  • please tell me ONE bit of evidence you have shown me.....ur now turning away from ur argument on how many base jumpers there are in england.....as i was saying i know LOADS of jumpers and there faimlies...and they are not worried all the time like u make out....please come back with ur 'facts'

  • @MMABJJ1987 I'm turning the argument away? I have to, you're not showing me evidence and when I do show you FACTS, you ignore them THEN ask me to show you evidence, AGAIN!

    England's population (Not the UK's) - 51 Million

    You said there was 1000 Base Jumpers Worldwide and that 500 of those people were in England.

    Base Jumping is a increasingly popular sport, now, how does a popular sport only have 1000 members Worldwide and only 500 in England?

    You've yet to show ANY counter argument.

  • @MMABJJ1987 And there you go again, lying, you say you know "loads" of Jumpers, you then say you DON'T!

    You're either Trolling me, and if you are, very, very well, as I'm totally being lead along, or you're a complete fucking retard who doesn't even know much about his own Sport (Which is probable, you didn't even know you own country's population).

    I'm positive it's the latter.

    Also, as I've proved, you can't be trusted, and from what I've researched, families DO worry, all the time.

  • COPY AND PASTE WHEN I SAID WORLDWIDE THEN!!!!! iv read the comments...iv never said that once..there is 30 reg base jumpers in england....did u watch that vid or not? and where are ur facts? copy and paste these facts......15-20 base jumpers in england is loads since theres only 30 reg ones and maybe a few hunderd other ones......u kno nothing.

  • @MMABJJ1987 "COPY AND PASTE WHEN I SAID WORLDWIDE THEN!!!!!" Please stop changing the subject, I all ready told you, you IMPLIED, and you don't even know what IMPLIED means, that's why you're spamming "COPY AND PASTE WHEN I SAID WORLDWIDE THEN!!!!!".

    I'm not going to watch that video, I told you, YOU present your argument, not a fucking TV program.

    OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. I POSTED MY FACTS, YOU FUCKING COMPLETE FUCKING RETARD, G.T.F.O.

  • @MMABJJ1987 AND AGAIN, ALL YOU SAY IS "there is only 30 reg jumperzzzzz".

    EVIDENCE.

    EVIDENCE.

    EVIDENCE.

    EVIDENCE.

    I've posted mine, you post YOURS.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Now please post EVIDENCE, every time I ask for EVIDENCE, you change the subject and start talking about how I haven't shown EVIDENCE, I just did, for the 4th time, so it's YOUR turn now.

    Now, you asked me to come back with facts, I have, 4 times, now please, don't be a fucking retard and ignore my request, honestly, if you do, I refuse to continue this argument because it seems to be going round in circles because of you, and I'd rather spend my time arguing with a smart person.

  • you have not sent me ONE bit of evidence that supports ur claims....i have sent u facts...you are wrong ur going to beat around the bush cos u know ur sooooo wrong...please tell me....how many base jumpers are there in england? and show me where i said 'worldwide'

  • @MMABJJ1987 YOU HAVEN'T SENT ME A SINGLE FACT, AND AS I'VE SAID, IF YOU HAVE, SEND THEM AGAIN, PROVE ME WRONG, PLEASE!

    And beat around the bush? I just done what you wanted, YOU'RE beating around the bush and then implying that I am!

    You implied Worldwide then changed what you said, but as I've said, STOP CHANGING THE SUBJECT!

    I asked you to disprove how I've proved that there is over 1000, YOU. AREN'T. DOING. THAT!

  • Once again..... google UK ....go onto 4OD and type in The men who jump off buildings....watch the bit 15 mins 30 sec's in......now copy and paste the bit where i implied i ment worldwide!!!!!! and send me ur facts that i have yet to see...saying 51 million in england is a fact but has nothing to do with jumping!!!

  • @MMABJJ1987 "Once again..... google UK ....go onto 4OD and type in The men who jump off buildings...." YOU PRESENT YOUR EVIDENCE, I don't ask you to fucking Google all my evidence, YOU DO THE SAME, STOP AVOIDING IT!

    You implied, I can't copy and paste it because you done it over many comments, you still don't know what Implied means XD

    I've sent my facts, you're just being a stupid retard who is now playing "I'll make the last post and win!".

    I've won so far, you've yet to present evidence.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Also, looking on your Profile, so many people dislike you, it appears you going around picking arguments you know very little about, and, I'm starting to doubt you're actually a Base Jumper, you're able to reply to my comments every few minutes after I've posted them, you don't seem to go off of your PC, I'm very, very honest in what I'm about to say.

    I really think you're only saying you're a Base Jumper and know many people to win this argument, you've lied before as well.

  • i have only replied right after ur comments (as u have mine) because im online.....its part of my job. And as i said before not every jumper jumps EVERYDAY!

  • @MMABJJ1987 Your job is to reply to my comments? What a retard you are, really...

    You're never off your PC, you don't Base Jump, it's fucking obvious, you lied just like you did with everything else.

    Also, if you don't show me a single bit of evidence, I've won and I'm not replying, this a complete waste of MY time, I've presented so much evidence, and you ask for it again, so I gave it again, THEN YOU ASK FOR IT AGAIN!

    You're a fucking retard who can't even spell!

  • no part of my job is being ONLINE!!!!

    its not google...its 4OD a leading documentry channel. if ur not going to watch it then dont make shitty pointless comments...saying 51 million is not a jumping fact...and do u really think i care if u dont think i jump?

  • @MMABJJ1987 PS. As I've said, you should show the evidence, not point me to an hour long video, documenting a man who jumps up to 5 buildings per night.

    And 51 Million was part of my evidence, learn to read, you obviously couldn't take that my evidence was legit so you didn't read the rest.

    I won, cya later, not.

  • thats why i have given u a time...15 min 30 secounds in. watch and feel stupid.

  • haha ok. ur not going to watch the vid then u wont see my EVIDENCE......

    Please read what i said.....copy and paste where i IMPLIED that it was worldwide.

    you are doing the last act of a despreate man. you cant dmite ur wrong even when facts are right there infront of u. ur just looking for a fight cos u aint got nothing else to do.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Okay, I'm going, you just keep going "GOOGLE THIS, GOOGLE THAT!" because you don't have Evidence, why is it so hard for you to TELL me what you want me to Google? Ah right, it's all made up, I understand, you're lying, again!

    I'm desperate? I've presented evidence and your evidence is Google XD

    I'll be honest, I don't have anything to do right now, but neither do you, I come online looking for intelligent arguments, but I picked the wrong person.

    Adios, Mr. Fail.

  • once again..its not google....i just said google to help you find it...ur not watching it cos u kno ur wrong...and if u watch the vid then u can clearly see i didnt 'make it' but anyway ur wrong im right, so give up and go have a fight on somthing u kno about.

  • @MMABJJ1987 So, yes, if you don't show me evidence in your next comment, I'm taking my Gold Trophy and leaving, it's been fun ripping into you for lying, failing to remember simple things, implying retarded things, spelling, but now you''re just going "show evidunce!" repeatedly, and when asked to do the same, you don't, you just go "GOOGLE MUN HO JUMP OFF BULDINGZ!".

    As I've said, I've not asked you to Google any of my evidence, I presented it straight.

  • @MMABJJ1987 MMABJJ1987's "facts" so far:

    Less than 1000 people Base Jump.

    Less than 500 of that 1000 are based in England.

    People will never listen to my views (Despite him all ready doing so...)

    He knows A LOT of Base Jumpers.

    He doesn't know many Base Jumpers.

    If you don't like Base Jumping you AREN'T allowed to talk about it (Haha, oh wow)

    If you don't like Base Jumping, GET OVUR IT.

    Base Jumping has no negative affects, what so ever, on anyone in the world.

    GOOD FACTS, KID.

  • HAHAHAHA listen to yourself! where to start. ur obv more dumb then i could imagen.

    i know there is less then 500 people that base in England. Please prove me wrong....there is over 50 million people in the UK.....and im sure millions skydive, but base is differnt. its very hard to get into. please do your research.

    I have frineds that dont like base ...i didnt say dont talk about it....i just dont wanna hear ur moaning about how selfish it is.

  • @MMABJJ1987 I'm dumb? You can't spell, and you have to lie to get your point over, sorry kid, but your Princess is in another castle.

    You know there is less than 500? PROOF, GIVE ME PROOF, YOU'VE YET TO DO SO.

    And I can't take your word for it because I've caught you out lying, MULTIPLE times.

    No, there is over 51 Million people in ENGLAND, not the whole of the UK, you f*cking moron, you don't even know your own country's population, you stupid retard!

  • I need your proof..where is ur proof that there is thousands of jumpers in england? there is no list of jumpers...but as im involed in the english base jumping scene and have yet to see thousands i think i kno a little more...i ment england. im so use to saying UK. Now go away and grow up.

  • @MMABJJ1987 My proof is that the population of England is 51 Million, and that Base Jumping is becoming more popular, that's EVIDENCE.

    YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE, WHERE IS IT? Next time you respond GIVE ME EVIDENCE OR WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING XD

    And no, REMEMBER, I proved you can't be trusted, you've been caught lying multiple times, and you didn't even know your own country's population, I don't think you're good at numbers, at all.

    And, me, go away? I've won, winner stays on, yo'!

  • @MMABJJ1987 I would also like to point out, ANOTHER LIE, you said "im so use to saying UK" yet before you were saying England just perfectly, then when I bring in population you thought 51 Million was the whole of UK's population, other wise, why would you suddenly stop saying England and say UK?

    I've just proved you're still lying.

  • @MMABJJ1987 Base Jumping is becoming more and more popular, I know this BECAUSE I done my research, that's how I know there is over 1000 Base Jumpers in England, not the whole world, like you seem to think...

    If you don't want to hear my FACTS, then stop responding, something you said you were going to do but then turned around and responded again.

    So, let's recap:

  • @MMABJJ1987 You think only 1000 people Base Jump, that, alone, makes you a fucking moron, on top of that, you actually Base Jump your self, that makes it even worse to be you.

    You believe that the UK's population is 51 Million, meaning you don't even know the population of YOUR OWN COUNTRY. That's fucking pathetic.

    You're lying again, saying there is less than 500 when you haven't shown a SHRED of proof, you're talking out your ass, again.

  • Ah I see, you're one of those people who can't take on other peoples thoughts and opinions and process them, like if you were Religious and I stated many facts as to why God doesn't exist you would just go "HE DOES".

    No point in talking to you then, Blocked.

  • @stevomc547  Well said bro !

  • to die by doing what u love....everybody should be so blessed

  • you play with fire you get burned. that song isn't half bad.

  • I live only about 2 football fields away from the gorge

  • Sad but its dangerous stuff jumping off stuff he lived life to the full though.respect.

  • What was the cause of his chute not fully inflating?

    Improper packing?

    Sorry he died.

    He was slowed somewhat by partial inflation.

    Drowned?

  • slider never came down dont know if he pulled too late or if it just got stuck

  • Since he had full line stretch and the slider appeared to be coming down at the point of impact, my guess is that he simply waited to long to throw his pilot chute.

    IOW human error.

  • lol

  • RIP. Death comes to us all. better do die living than to live dying.

  • What song is that playing?

  • LA LA!!! More peeps get killed out on the road! I love Jeb Corliss is saying about being locked in a box!

  • Jeb Corliss is a tool, he talks like a spoilt child trying to be as profound as possible thinking its cool. Only idiots eat it up and think what hes saying is cool.

    Also your driving analogy is flawed. Millions of people drive a day so of course more accidents will happen, only a handful of people BASE jump and accidents happen, meaning yes its more dangerous.

    I think you need to get out of Jeb Corliss's box personally.

  • thats if your son's graduat lmao

  • I will be amazed if you graduate with your shocking grammar and spelling.

  • Hide all you want, and pass judgment on the brave men and woman around you.

    It's easy when the people you look down on are more than willing to fight and die to protect you're family and the god given rights that you enjoy so much.

    In the end, the ones left behind cowering in there barns, afraid or unwilling to defend themselves will no doubt suffer worse at the hand of the real enemy than those that die fighting on the battlefields.

  • The fuck are you on about paulthefuckwit. What you just said had no relevence to the video. Why the fuck would I fight the "enemy" when other people will do it for me.

  • listen to you gum bumpers, sitting on the bench running your mouths like some little schools girl......how about a nice cup a shut the FUCK up! hike up your skirt rubb some of that vagisil on your hurt pussy & live life! go shred!

  • well said bro ! BSBD

  • kurde ta nuta jest naprawdę sztoss ! nigdzie jej nie mogę nakminić :/

  • Very sad that he lost his life but if you throw yourself off a bridge and die it is not a tragedy. Its nature getting rid off stupid people who think its "cool" to do things that your taught NEVER to do. My sympathy to his friends and family who were forced to watch his demise.

  • Your a ignorant dick, people do this for fun, they have parachutes it was a malfunction. Just because your a spineless pussy and lack any balls doesnt give you the right to call anybody stupid

  • He and his family all were intimately aware of the costs of base jumping.

    Base jumping is a very calculated and serious risk and every jumper knows that.

    Having said that, you could easily say the same thing about joining a branch of the armed forces, "Sergeant Pete." I find it interesting that someone such as yourself is in a position to demean the deaths and stupid risks of others and yet in another sphere glorify those same types of people who engage in an "honorable" thing, like war.

  • He still has a point though. Also, there is (to me at least) a difference between jumping off a bridge yourself for fun, and getting shot or blown up in the field of war whilst acting for your country.

  • Well I dont know about that either. I mean, couldn't you say that the costs of war (death, famine, destruction) are also considered nature's way of "getting rid of stupid people who do things they are taugh NEVER to do?" I mean... correct me if I am wrong... but aren't most of us taught to never get involved in war? (I.E. including those who do for the sake of "acting for your country")

    Also, how can his death be both sad and not a tragedy? Perhaps answering this will raise his point clearly

  • Oh wait a minute! I think i get it now. Perhaps when he says that his death is not a tragedy, he means that it would be placed among the lower order ways of dieing. Like say, a higher order death would be one where you don't die in vain, and then alower order death is one where you do die in vain. Well I suppose then you could say he died in vain. But the wording used was "tragedy"... which says that he died a violent and unfortunate death, which is true.

  • Well when a war is fought for the country you live in, it's a bit different to carrying out your evil country's quest for oil and power. I'm not really sure what we're arguing for anymore to be honest :) I just wanted to point out the similarities you drew between jumping off a bridge for fun and fighting for your life and that of your country were false.

  • Well sure of course doing someone elses evil bidding is much different than actually engaging in a genuine conflict in which you are protecting your country.

    What I would like you to explicitly note for me is how the similarities are indeed false.

    It might be important to note here that whether or not war itself has ever had adequate justificatory support has been a hotly contested debate since Plato, and because of this we definitely cannot say without a doubt that it has been justified.

  • Having said that... it becomes highly questionable as to whether or not fighting in ANY war is EVER justified... and that if war is indeed never justified, which is still possible as a conclusion, then we are in a position to say that a person w ho engages in war is engaging in no less stupid of a risk than any other comparatively risky activity. (Like BASE jumping, or playing russian roulette, and so on)

  • I just finished my Law school exams and I'm on holiday ... your question reminds me too much of work! Therefore I humbly bow to you :P

  • Although I will point out your argument still seems to rest upon the person engaging in the war doing so out of choice. Regardless of academic views on whether war is right or wrong, to suggest that it is NEVER necessary is folly.

  • Fair enough. But notice i left you with a hypothetical. I said IF war is never justified, THEN we are in a position to say engaging in it is a stupid risk.

    Entertain me for a second and say that a person ends up engaging in war out of necessity. (IE there exists no other realistic decision for them to make)

    In philosophy, even THAT is still on the table because there are philosophers who say that despite all costs war can still be avoidable, even if it means suffering or losing anything.

  • So despite engaging in war out of necessity or volition, we STILL can say it is not justified.

    But now the term is necessity. You say it is not the case that it is never necessary to engage in war. So, then, you would also be bound to say there is at least one situation in which it is necessary to engage in war.

    I will grant you this if you can give me that case and have it be free of need of justification.

    (note: Good luck law school. I would like to talk with you later on AIM or something)

  • Also, predicting your use of a situation in which a country is hopelessly under siege, we might rule out a situation in which someone is in this confrontation.

    If it is necessary, surely it is because someone else threatens their country by attack, right? But then if we were to ask this question, we would have granted an injustice by the oppressor and then have granted the oppressed of the right to perform an injustice in defense. Surely this doesnt equate to just and necessary

  • Of course war is not ALWAYS necessary, but in reality it frequently occurs and most would rather take up arms and fight than lie down and die whilst their homes are pillages and their family raped! It's one thing to say that shipping out with the US marines to Afghanistan is equivalent in risk to jumping off a bridge (Parachute might not open, insurgent might shoot you) and quite another to say bridge jumping = defending your home upon danger of certain death if you fail.

  • Right but simply because most would rather fight than die still doesn't make it necessarily the case that their fighting is necessary, is just means that they preferred it. I wasn't asking you to say it is not always necessary (i.e. in at least one case it is not necessary) that much is obvious. Unfortunately that is not the issue. The issue is whether or not it is EVER justified... not just that it is sometimes justified and others not.

  • So, what you need to do (still) is provide at least one situation where war is required by necessity.

    Also, I am not saying that they are the same... but what I am saying is that you can most definitely, by the absence of any solid justificatory support (or even necessity) for war, you can say that the military man engages himself in a risk that can be viewed as warantless, just like you can interpret it that way for the BASE jumper.

  • And because of that warantless risk, it would be inconsistent to shun BASE jumpers and at the same time praise military men. That is what I am saying. The standards by which we would evaluate BASE jumpers and war fighters would then be the same, and evaluating them differently breaks that standard. To say that you evaluate them by different standards would entail many other highly questionable notions in politics... you know.. like jingoism

  • Furthermore, I think the BASE jumper involves himself in a community that undergoes the same risks (it not worse in terms of ratios) to that of the warfighter. In BASE, 95% of all jumpers spend more than a night in the hospital. The other 5% dies. BASE is at the very least as dangerous as military fighting... but that is not the issue at hand. The issue is whether or not they are equivalent in terms of the necessity of their risk. Of course BASE is not a necessary risk... but thats not my point

  • My point is that warfighting is not necessary either. In each case in history there has been a nonviolent (albeit somtimes highly inconvenient) way to avoid conflict. It is because of this that I say both BASE and war are not necessary... but perhaps the BASE jumper is in a better position to enjoy his activity because the only one he risks is himself with, of course, great understanding of that fact. The best way (as a lawyer) you could beat me here is by using a reductio negation to my thesis.

  • hey my dad jumped this bridge i think in 1986 or so and they're going to continue doing so forever, stupid or not. got some good shots of his jump and it looked kick ass.

  • check the video "roberto cevallos muller" and watch the end.................this is real

  • fuck off with this spam! pussy ass jump alone! tandem is for geys! hahaha

    Umm, yeah...an inspiration to NEVER BASE JUMP.

  • though i DO NOT think anyone who jumps DESERVES to die, it's hard to have a whole lot of sympathy. yes, it is very sad...but i gotta roll with need more water in the sense that it is a really fucking stupid actitvity...far more dangerous than all other extreme sports combined. when you make it habitual, chances are, it will eventually kill you. and hey...if ur life means so little to you that risking it all for a thril is ok, then fine. just don't expect us to cry when u splat at the bottom.

  • My girlfriend and I were at the boat landing below the bridge watching when it happened. A tragedy, but he died doing something he loved. I hope I am so lucky! Godspeed Brian. You were an inspiration to us all!

  • Where do you get off saying that shit? He did not deserve to die, and he was not an idiot just because he liked to BASE jump. So by your logic, astronauts, NASCAR racers, roller coaster riders, police officers, fire fighters, military personnel, pilots, or anyone else who engages in potentially dangerous activities is an idiot and deserves to die? It may be a hobby, or career, or life-style choice, but it does not define a person's inteliigence. He was living life doing what he enjoys. Do you?

  • Don't you understand that there is big difference between doing something dangerous when there is absolutely no need for it, and being a law enforcer or a soldier? We need police officers and soldiers or else we would all die in the end. I think flying weightless in the air is fun and I really want to do it, but why dont I?? Because you NEVER know when your last jump is gonna come, and this man is a dead proof of that.

    Btw. we do not need nascar or roller coaster riders in this world, no.

  • you must be a very borring person

    NeedMoreWater :D

    When you drive to work with your car every time

    that drive can be your last... there are far more deaths in car crash accidents then in BASE jumping.

  • That's because there is not as many basejumpers as there are driver in this world smarty.

    And trust me, I don't have a boring life, it is possible to have fun without risking your life every time you need a thrill! Basejumpers die all the time, drivers NEED to drive, basejumpers have NO sympathy from me. Dead or alive. They are to blame for their own deaths, and they are aware of it. They are facing death every time, and that's what's the thrill, and they better be ready for that day!

  • Hey just cos you're a pussy don't dismiss what other people do for enjoyment. Go play tiddlywinks or finish your cross stitching you narrow minded idiot

  • should have double checked his chute

  • He was one of two people to make the first official BASE jump back in the 60s. He made this jump to commemorate the 40 year anniversary of that first jump.

  • Darwin claims another idiot.

  • Elephantmantlt, I bet your life is real fun sittin around watchin people do things you're to much of a fucking pussy to do yourself!

  • Comment removed

  • Actually it is, so if I don't do something stupid and kill myself , then I'm a pussy? I guess I'll be a pussy the rest of my life. It's actually quite nice seeing my kids and grandkids grow up. Why just last month I went to my son's college graduation...try doing that after doing something stupid and killing yourself. ..... I wonder if the last thing that went through this idiots mind was how much he loved what he was doing? I doubt it...probably was thinking of his family and how stupid he was.

  • My family was 5 of the couple thousand that watched this man perish. It was a solemn drive back to Blacksburg, VA. For those who wanted to know more... there you go... R.I.P. Brian.

  • I watched about 100 people jump off that bridge that day. They all looked under control with their arms spread. When this man jumped he flailed as though he had never been in the air. He was head down at about 400 feet and i thought he was waiting to get level again. I looked away and grimaced as i thought he hit. When i looked back again he hit the river. There was a large splash then a few seconds past before the water turned red around him. I'll never forget those seconds i watched him die.

  • darwin wins again, guess he really was right....

  • Anyone tell me who sings that song? It is a shame but it's probably the way he wanted to go.

  • The song is called What's Left, and the band is called Funny.

  • You're sad. The guy died doing what he loved. Better than dying in a retirement home. You think he would want his death to ruin the entire day for everyone else or do you thionk he would've liked the rest of the world to honour his memory by joining in the fun he loved. You obviously don't dive so you obviously don't get it.

  • I think that really depends on how one dies in a retirement home.

    Sitting in the cafeteria with oatmeal slowly dripping off your chin while a small dog growls at your foot.

    But just then a bank robber storms in, the police in hot pursuit and as they corner the robber in the cafeteria he takes you hostage and drags your ancient body through the double doors out into the parking lot where he slips stepping into a camero owned by a nurse with bad acne and acidentally blows your brains out.

  • You see?

    Retirement home deaths can be exciting!

    Cheers!

  • lol

  • Here's an idea: how bout NOT jumping from under 1000ft with zero margin for fuck-up??

    Just thinking out loud.

  • what fun would THAT be?

  • um... i dont know if u have any idea what u are talking about but they do base jumps under 200 feet. 1000 feet is pretty high. im not sure if he just pulled too low or what but from that height you should have an ok amount of time to react to the situation.

  • I think it was just late opening. Not so much faulty equipment.

  • yeah...i thought so too

  • i dont know if you skydive or base jump but everyone does understands the risks and it is the general consensus among participants that if there is a serious accident or fatality you do everything you can to help but once things are out of your hands you carry on doing what you love

    there are many many dropzones in the us that have had fatalities and have sent up loads 30 mins later.

  • Hey this is what these guys do right? Entertain us with how close they can get to death.Once in a while, they give us the ultimate form of entertainment.
