I've actually driven past guys doing this on that exact bridge. It's freaky to see a guy there one minute, gone the next. They're not hurting anyone but themselves so let them go for it I reckon.

Mad Cunt

@C4eternity nah i'm too busy being cool. enjoy your armchair nerd

[C4eternity]

@MagicMalky Wow you really are stupid aren't you? You claim that something can't happen then yell at people to warn them about it, do you also warn people about invasions from Mars and unicorns? Thick as a brick. Do you really think I am sitting here thinking "oh no I am a dickhead I am a pussy, oh no your opinion means so much to me"? Logic is wasted on twits like you. Why don't you watch funniest home videos and learn something?

[MagicMalky]

@C4eternity i was talking about when you can yell to people, which is most of the time in australia. every other time we have ground crew where we are going to land, to help out and what not. it all works so well that no one has ever been killed by a base jumper landing on them. so yeah you're just a scared little pussy. scared of something that won't happen. and the some dickhead call, i know doctors and teachers and people that jump that are just better then you, so i think you're the dickhead

[C4eternity]

@MagicMalky So you yell out to people to warn them about something that can never happen?? From the top of a tall building nobody can hear you and for those that are not wearing headphones or are deaf or elderly or toddlers or jogging or just not paying attention expecting some dickhead to jump from above them who are you warning? It may be unlikely but better safe than sorry and jump where there is nobody around and there are spotters on the ground instead of relying on luck.

[MagicMalky]

@C4eternity seriously a jumper landing on someone else? i've never heard of it. i yell out to the people on the ground before i jump. but lets all be really scared and make laws about something that has never happened. sounds pretty logical

[MagicMalky]

@C4eternity so does that mean if you crash your car if you didn't need to be driving it then your a dickhead too?

say you were just cruising down the road for a (nonalcoholic) drink or some chips or something? you didn't need to be doing it. you sound like you watch a lot of tv. my advice, pick up a thought provoking book from time to time. a ship in the harbour is safe, but that's not what ships were built for

Met Douugs a few days ago at a pub in Switzerland. One of the coolest/nicest guys you'd ever want to meet.

Took the time to talk to two dorks from U.S. (that says a lot!)

go Douggs!

@Jesusthemiraclebaby Your argument doesn't even make sense, its like you are trying to say two wrongs do make a right. Try thinking through your argument first instead of manufacturing silly arguments against anyone that disagrees with you and perhaps people might take you seriously. I do sincerely hope a base jumper falls on you one day, it might knock some sense into you.
