on last saturday, 12th of june, 6 jumpers of the german base association jumped into a football-stadium in gelsenkirchen. all at the same time, directly from the roofstructure. the jump was made in front of 35000 spectators, during the ceremonies of the nfl europe finals. the height was appr. 158 ft (48 meters). I suppose, this was a new record (6 at one time, indoor). or does someone have other info about events like this?

OHh yeah,

What about the reserves you noughty, nougty Germans, you just broke a major rule

It was indoor, I don´t think it´s required or they could bust kids for jumping off the bed without a reserve me thinks.
have fun,
take care,
space

i thourght BASE were for no rules

by the way theres no BASE rule that says you cant wear a reserve

Im not into rules,nor am i for reserves in BASE,but if they makes it posibly to jump stuff there i will not ague against them

I was just kidding

I think that was in reference to the legal events in germany where reserves have been required (since they events were endorsed by the german parachuting authority).

Hi everyone, just for general info: for indoorjumps (where we leap off and land inside of a building), we do not need to carry any reserve canopies with us. it is like what you do in your living room - it is up to you. we also need not to do the official paperwork stuff, with permissions and so on. we only need the ok from the owner.
these are the only jumps, where we can just walk in, climb up and have fun.
cheers mates.

You Germans,

You have worked out everything to the smallest detail.....
