fields 0 #1 March 2, 2005 from the schedule of the Best of the 29th Annual Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour QuoteLast Stunt Norway / Denmark, 2002, 53 minutes Directed & produced by Tom Edvindsen British stuntman Terry Forrestal arrives in Kjerag in Lysefjorden, one of Norway's greatest fjords. He is going to relax - away from his hectic film work - by BASE jumping from the top of the 1000-metre-high mountain. But one of the jumps goes wrong and a difficult rescue begins. Terry's sister accuses Norway of bad rescue planning and of running "death" tourism. This is the story of Terry's last stunt. for peoples in the Santa Barbara area, the Banf Film festival tour is at UCSB's Campbell Hall tonight and tomorrow. http://www.artsandlectures.ucsb.edu/films.asp#banff"And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction" Survivor Chuck Palahniuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #3 March 2, 2005 For those who don't know about this incident, it was one of the biggest threats to the major legal BASE site in Southern Norway. Terry had a wall strike, and ended up stuck on a ledge. He apparently tried to self-rescue by jumping from the ledge and firing his reserve. For me, the incident underlines two big points: 1) Skydiving rigs are not appropriate for BASE. 2) Everyone needs to discuss BASE (and it's risks) with their families. In addition, there is some speculation that had Terry been carrying a radio, he would have known that rescuers were on the way, and stayed put (and survived). That sounds like a pretty good reason to carry a radio, if you ask me. I haven't seen the film, but I think I'll try to, if I get a chance. Terry is listed as #40, on the list.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouYoung 0 #5 March 2, 2005 People were still BASE jumping with skydiving gear in 1999? I thought by 1999 everyone was using BASE specific gear. Crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Han-Solo 0 #6 March 3, 2005 it was his second base-jump. the first one didn't look very good either. a documentary was made (in norway) on the incident and the following trial. good thing the judges could see straight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy. people still BASE skydiving rigs now, and you'll most likely see it for years to come... at least at Bridge Day. i wouldn't reccomend it, but hey, what the hell do i know?
