Did you get a picture of it at least? ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Get the most out of it while you can… What is something most people don’t know about you? I am a GeEk. Who has inspired you in BASE jumping? Um… I don’t really look to be like anyone, so does myself count?? What is your most memorable BASE jumping moment? Wow, so many memories!! But if I have to choose a MOMENT… I think it would be when I took that first step after just landing following a jump off a tall A… Feeling something rope-like and thinking, “wow, I stopped”, then realizing what I thought was a nice little ATV pathway to land on, was barbwire. Ouch. Describe Jen in five words or less: Silly, fun, loyal, shy, geek. I BASE jump because… It’s a part of me. It makes my life complete. I love it. I’m addicted. ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Buffalo what?! Buffalo, NY? Hey I'm up here now, doing some relative work! Jen ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Well the study followed the men for about 4 years, in which they were still having problems. Most seemed to improve a bit, but then remain there & make no further progress... Jen ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Hello again, So for my input… From everything I have read, which is mostly case reports, they all seem to have the same symptoms. Either from long term (several weeks working about a meter from an FM antenna) or suddenly (working 2 m above a newly installed national FM reserve antenna, hat had just been turned on), most of the symptoms have to do with nerve damage. If they were exposed suddenly to a lot of radiation, they complained of feeling warmness (either on the complete side that was in front of the transmitter, or first in the eyes & testis). So look out for this! The symptoms include, low back pain, nausea, diarrhea, general malaise, headaches, ‘hazing’ of vision (like there is a thin film over your eyes), shortness of breath, numbness and paraesthesia (skin sensation, such as burning, prickling, itching, or tingling, with no apparent physical cause). Like I said, most of the symptoms (the chronic ones at least), are probably related to nerve damage. Of the case studies I have read, one of the doctors had concluded as well that the ‘results were compatible with partial lesion of nerves.’ Scary huh?!? The most interesting article I have read (in which this post is a VERY short summary of) is “Effects of exposure to very high frequency radiofrequency radiation on six antenna engineers in two separate incidents” by Schilling, CJ. Here’s the abstract; Six men are likely to have been accidentally exposed to high levels of very high frequency (VHF) radiofrequency radiation (100 MHz) while working on transmission masts; four men in one incident and two in another. They experienced symptoms and signs which included headache, parasthesiae, diarrhoea, malaise and lassitude. The condition of four men, two men from each incident likely to have had the highest exposure, has shown no significant improvement. The first incident occurred in 1995 and the second in 1996. Occup Med (Lond). 2000 Jan;50(1):49-56. And like I said before, if anyone wants the full article, PM me your email address & I’ll send it! Jen

Yes, I have done some reading on the subject. I'll write up a post tomorrow... Just got in from getting my nightly *dose* of radiation... Jen BTW I do have a rather interesting article, of a few case studies. I believe it is too large to upload, so if anyone is interested in reading it PM me & I'll send it via email. ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Hey, I'm working on my master-base # hehehe... ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

I think a screw BASE # would increase your chance of getting sponsored from them....hehehe ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

hehehe.. I took your quiz. Looks like I have a political philosophy... According to my answers it is: libertarian funny huh??? ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

I'm with you on this one, and I didn't even have to *try* it out once... hehehe ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

ahhh... I guess that's my problem then. I'm single, but I jump off of things... ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."

Yeah, I'm sure they will... I was just being silly. ------------------------------------------- "Scars remind you that the past is real..."
