Non-Jumper "DAM" Comments . . .
Well, the below shows the folly of my own comment from the other day that people at large are getting more knowledgeable and accepting of BASE jumping. One result of the Dam jump video making the rounds on the net is all the comments it generated among non-jumpers . . . Warning, this will make you mad, and it will make you realize, in a general way, what non-jumpers think of us. But, it will also make you see that all we really have is each other . . .
This first section is comments made by college students. The second section is off one of those video sites.

BASE 194
"Anybody wanna try base jumping - Check this out...."
"I do."
"me too."
"fuck no!!!"
"And let this be a reminder to folks... pack your own shoot and learn when to open the damn thing."
"What's base jumping? That video didn't really show what it was... I'm assuming from what drinksalot said, it involves a parachute? Also, that guy got up and walked away, so it couldn't have been that bad...
"When did you see the guy get up and walk away? You must have saw a different version then mine. Also "What's Base Jumping?" Are you serious?"
"Base jumping is jumping off a cliff or something along that lines... Its kinda like a cheap way of a full sky diving."
"BASE jumping and an acronym for Building Antenna Structure and Earth... The four elements that you can jump off of. Base jumping basically is jumping off of these four things. It is considered by far the most dangerous activity that anyone can partake in. There are usually about 80 deaths a year."
"woooo, sign me up i wanna be a statistic."
"drunk?"
"anyone want to play Russian Roulette?? i will pass on both!"
"I never have understood the people who feel the urge to go fling themselves off high points or out of perfectly operable aircraft."
"Holy Fucking Ghost!"s"
"[BASE] that where you jump from an Airplane with no parachute into a Tsunami, but live because you Duck-Dive?
"Missile Strike Champ!
"it should be called Ase jumping"
"wow, sucks to be him there. and as for trying it? hell no. but i give a to guys who do it though."
"that hurts me just watching it!!!"
"Goddamn... now I know why I didnt want to watch that when this was first posted here.
"I cant believe he lived! I wonder what the extent of the injuries was... does anyone know?"
"I don't know if he lived or not man. There was all sorts of blood dripping onto the rocks at the end. And the way he was moaning sounded like blood was going into his lungs. It'd be cool if he lived but, I don't know.. "
"Yeah. Having seen that video, it would sure be a weight off my mind that I wasnt watching someone's last moments -- even if they were horribly maimed, I could deal with that, but the spectre of death is just... bad."
"I've never done any of this "extreme" sports crap, and that video pretty much resolves me to never do any in the future."
2ND SECTION (From a general video site).
"This is an amazing video of a guy taping himself jumping off a dam. He hits the wall of the dam on his way down and his parachute malfunctions. He hits the rocks below at a high speed breaking many bones however, after months of recovery he still base jumps to this day"
"That was f.u.cking HORRIBLE! I never want to see this clip again!"
"yeah riiiight... FAKE"
"How fake! Convenient how he placed the camera so we could still see him. Crock o ****e.
"This guy was a ****ing waterhead and got what he deserved. Who the **** goes around jumping off **** like that?? Whats the ****ing point?? This guy must have been one of those crack babies. Mabye the fall knocked some sence into his gay ****ing ass. What a HOMO."
"For those of you who think this is fake, put your glasses on you idiots. For those of you who think they would get up and do it again, I would just LOVE to see you get back up and get up there, I agree that was pretty rough and its good to see he got back up and kept doing what he loved. Now this person made me laugh, they said it was stupid he went into the wall; lets think here... oh yeah! Why didnt he just stop the line from tangling! Yes.. hes such an idiot for this malfunction that was not related to his mind at all. Why couldnt he just fly away and avoid the wall, please, think smarter and I may just be nicer."
"I dont feel for him at all. Stupid ass for doing something like that anyway."
"haha thats what he ****in gets for being stupid"
"Funny clip! BTW...these shouldnt be considered sports. More like a dangerous hobby. If there is no competition involved, it is not a sport. I could start a new "extreme sport" where I wallow in a pit filled with scorpions just for the adrenaline rush. I will video tape and submit it so everyone can watch me suffer in pain."
"that sh!ts just serious!! props go out to the ppl who get fukked up by doing things like that."
"wow that probably sucked alot."
"whoa this scared the crap out of me when I watched it. Good thing he survived though!"
"Omfg! Someone here likes that the guy suffers like that! I am glad there is someone who feels with him. I didnt manage to see the whole video at once either... I felt to sick when I saw it. And I still feel it 30 mins after Ive seen it! Please dont talk **** about that guy! People who loves to see others get hurt should try some stuff on theirselves.. Fucking morons!"
Oh my ****ing god! This is serious the worst thing Ive ever seen! I feel so bad for this guy. He falls so fast and cuts himself up everywhere. Poor guy =( R.I.P to all who died cause of something like this happends Btw.. Please dont ****talk the guys who are doing extreme sports.."
Dude, thats gonna leave some marks. You mean this knuckledragger didnt know that when you base jump on a vertical slant you have to clear the bottom by at least 20% of the incline. Whats next, underwater cave diving."
Foookin **** - didnt even have the decency to clean the camera lense for us after hitting the bottom.
"UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... get well man"
"Haha a fukin moron jew. whining, stop crying u fukin jewish piece of fukin cat ****. get up and walk it off and jump again u fukIN FAGGOT JEW DIE IN HELL"
"I hope all of these "extreme" sports @ssholes bite the dust."
Holy ****, I know that feeling. Disorientation, you try to get up but all you do is fall back down. Damn, I feel for this guy."
"Poor Chap! That must have HURT!!! Oviously winded himself ( tell by the forced moaning ) and BOY!! THATS GONNA HURT IN THE MORNIN!! BIG-BOYS ROCK!!"
holy **** yesterday i slipped on some ice and landed on my elbow and that hurt like hell i cant imagane the pain that he was in."
"Time to find a new hobby. Something less dangerous...like sharkfvcking."
"why does everyone think everything on this site is fake? some of it is but its meant to be funny. that must of hurt like hell though.."
"You are the dumbest mother fvcker around . Your just another dumb azz kid with a computer .. S T F U .. (FAKE) is getting old just shhhhhhhhhh you punks with your fake crap all the time."
"Boy, people really are stupid. Too bad he lived, now he can have kids just as dumb..."
"just chill out people and see it for wot it is!"
"That poor b@stad. I knew I shouldnt have watched that before I went to bed. I cant get that clip out of my head. Will never be able to concentrate enough to beat my meat now."
"this **** is real, he had to recover at da hospital for about 3 weeks, besides couldnt u see the blood, the crackling of his bones, or when he hit the ****ing rocks. Stop calling every god damn thing u see fake. Or did u just start that habbit because ur always looking at ur mamas titties?"
"What is this crap?? Looks like gay porn... his buddy is obviously butt rammin him... as he crawls around like a dog."
"Looks like he kept trying to stand up."
"thats just horrible. theres something about grown men crying that freaks me out. poor guy. but he is a bit stupid"
"s**t that wasnt plesant to even watch suprised he still jumps i need to go get a drink of water calm my stomach"
"THAT WILL LEAVE A MARK!!!!!!!"
"If that was an American, Id be surprised. He is most likely canadian."
SEE!! this is y u should never go base jumpin ALONE!! or actually maybe this is y u should NEVER be stupid enough to go base jumpin ever!! lucky he had his cell phone...dumass...geez i feel his pain , but not his stupidity!"
"that ****ing sucked"
"Unitl i saw this, id always wanted to parachute."
"A little over the top. I couldnt watch the whole thing."
"Sucks to be him. Whats with all the guys thinking hes American? Its not just Americans who are unlucky, this guy has a Dutch name and was speaking Dutch through the Walkie Talkie, he seems pretty not American to me. But i bet he enjoyed some fine weed back in Amsterdam."
"i DONT POST OFTEN BUT THIS GUY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE gENE POOL. He is an almost-ran for the Darwin awards. The groaning is a nice touch!"
"Wow, it makes me want to give it a shot."
"What does " Hmmmm hemm aaaahhh mmm!" Mean, he kept repeating it throught out the clip"
"dam he hit a dam he is a dam lucky dam nut"
"My mother thought it was porn I was watching."
Holy **** !!!!! what the ****!!! he lived that fall !! I couldnt watch the whole video at once you can hear him suffer!! I got really sick of watching and listining to it!!!"
"ohh he must have one hell of a protecting Angel by his side"
"Chute apparently got hung up on the jump - notice how he dangles at one spot for a few seconds."
"If god wanted you to fly he would have given you wings. To be the guy is not smart enough to stop jumping."
"Having seen this clip, I think America should make base jumping a national past time"
"STUPID JERKFACE F*CKIN *SSHOLE!!!!"
"Oh how wonderful, this chicken doo-doo site has another horse**** video of some poor sap and his troubles. How bout some naked bitches!"
"Hey Stupid take some other hobby like stamp collecting cos that dont hurt sooooooo much, unless you get a paper cut."
"Want some ranch to go with that femur?"
"ok actually that line twist is a bunch of crap first u dont even see it secondly it was because he didnt get enough distance from the dam the chute was against the dam so it wasnt fully opened thats why he hit so hard"
"Fake. Defies physics."
"Glad to know I am not the only one that makes those noises when something goes seriously "whoops". I especially understand the bit where you are ina whole lot fo pain and shock and you look down and go "gee, my hand is a bit cut up, who would have thought just that would hurt so much?"...Meanwhile yor body is busy dumping enough endorphins for you to not notice the broken leg. Interesting film clip."
"He is obviously an actor portraying a scene from Resovior Dogs....very convincing portrayal of agony..Id say he did a perfect harvey kytel immatation. His only mistake was when he looked at the camera...NEVER LOOK AT THE 4TH WALL...talented..yes but unbridled..take some more acting clases you noob."
"GAY GAY GAY! This is the second time this clip has been posted here! This site is getting completely SH!T!"
"omffffffg .... wow. amazing. dude u dont think hes that high till you hear the crack.... damn"
"ITS NOT TOO LATE! IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THIS TURN OFF YOUR SOUND! EMOTIONALLY SCARRING!!!"
"WOW!!!!!!!!!! THATS HARHS! At least he took it like a man!"
END . . .
