how many suicides happen at perrine? this is the second (non-base) dead body i've heard of this year. summery: Canoeists were stunned when they saw a woman jump off the Perrine Bridge, her body landing near them in the Snake River. After paddling out to save her they arrived at the shore where a sargeant gave them an $85 fine for not wearing life jackets. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070502/ap_on_fe_st/good_samaritans_cited

I was always told to expect it (180 with line twists and your canopy is on fire) on every jump... but this really helped me visualize that ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ll6u1YQtEk

like tom said, ALL slider down/off jumps. never on slider up.

hey! that's me! you bastard, way to post without my permission.

is the discovery channel one different then BBC? I don't wanna be missing anything.

I downloaded the BBC version, and this isn't the same video that I watched... but this says it's from the planet earth mini-series... http://www.heavy.com/video/8748?partner=aff177

not on zero g's not on diving boards yes on rollar coasters still yes on base jumps (on the first nano second like someone said) maybe it's just vertigo?

on the topic of random placement... at our university, somebody set up a sculpture with out anyones permission, and without telling anyone. and now it sits in on of our parking lots, and it's a super duper cool story to tell people. I say go for it. I'll help carry it ;-)

nope, you aren't going to expire... it just means you aren't GANGSTA! (b to the a = bad ass)

I think I hear the beginnings of a reality TV show... somebody call discovery channel!!!!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.... wow... that is B to the A

but you're quoting multiple personalities, which is Dissociative identity disorder, not schizophrenia.

you're thinking of the wrong mental illness.... schitzo: To be diagnosed as having schizophrenia, a person must display: * A) Characteristic symptoms: Two or more of the following, each present for a significant portion of time during a one-month period (or less, if successfully treated) o delusions o hallucinations o disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence; speaking in abstracts). See thought disorder. o grossly disorganized behavior (e.g. dressing inappropriately, crying frequently) or catatonic behavior o negative symptoms, i.e., affective flattening (lack or decline in emotional response), alogia (lack or decline in speech), or avolition (lack or decline in motivation). Note: Only one Criterion A symptom is required if delusions are bizarre or hallucinations consist of hearing one voice participating in a running commentary of the patient's actions or of hearing two or more voices conversing with each other. * B) Social/occupational dysfunction: For a significant portion of the time since the onset of the disturbance, one or more major areas of functioning such as work, interpersonal relations, or self-care, are markedly below the level achieved prior to the onset. * C) Duration: Continuous signs of the disturbance persist for at least six months. This six-month period must include at least one month of symptoms (or less, if successfully treated) that meet Criterion A. Additional criteria (D, E and F) are also given that exclude a diagnosis of schizophrenia if symptoms of mood disorder or pervasive developmental disorder are present. Additionally a diagnosis of schizophrenia is excluded if the symptoms are the direct result of a substance (e.g., abuse of a drug, medication) or a general medical condition. Dissociative identity disorder (DID): is a controversial diagnosis described in the DSM IV, as the existence in an individual of two or more distinct identities or personalities, each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. At least two of these personalities are considered to routinely take control of the individual's behavior, and there is also some associated memory loss which is beyond normal forgetfulness. This memory loss is often referred to as "losing time" or amnesia. The symptoms must occur independently from substance abuse or a more general medical condition in order to be diagnosed.

just because i'm schizophrenic doesn't mean you have to make fun of me.

Hey peoples, I spoke to someone at twin falls about the possibility of purchasing some of our dropzones old skydiving containers for the purpose of taking base canopies out of planes. if that was you can you send me a message please? Thanks, Andrew K

I don't know if that's exactly BASE jumping... more like the suicide game.

and at 1am for those of us that were out doing something "productive"

I just had a good laugh, thank you for that.
