Letter of support for BASE -- sort of

Recommended Posts

The below is from the 16 Oct 04 Twin Falls Times-News paper. it i from the "Letters" section and is titled "Close Perrine Bridge now to halt suicides"

"Well, yet another suicide jump off the Perrine Bridge. That makes, I believe at least five in the last year. Tragically three or four have died in separate incidents during the hundreds (if not thousands) of BASE jumps in the past few years.
So, the numbers speak for themselves. Less than 1 percent for the BASE jumpers vs. 100 percent for the potential suicides. The percentages are astounding.
We should close the bridge to all future suicides. They are far more deadly than the BASE jumps. WE must stop them now!

I think regulation is the answer.

Maybe they could close the bridge for a few hours on a particular day once a year. ;)
