"He got lucky after his initial misfortune," said a spokesman for police in the Bavarian capital Munich. Fire services took an hour to rescue the 32-year-old Austrian extreme sports enthusiast after his base jump from the 35th floor left him hanging 150 feet up. Police released the man, who is under investigation for making an illegal parachute jump, on bail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
