Hi All,

I've added two names to the Fatality List

The latest one, Paul, and another that occurred back in 1987, and which has just come to light.

The ‘87 incident is now #15 and Paul, the latest entry, is #94 . . .

BASE 194

Well, we've only recently passed BASE #1000 and we are getting close to #100 on this list.

I hope it never happens but reality tells me it is only inevitable. Hopefully the ratio is getting smaller (BASE # : fatals) which is a good thing.

Lets see if we can hold #100 off for a long time.

At moments like these, someone I knew would be pulling out short straws.

Keep it simple. Attend to the fundamentals. Do the right thing for you, your gear, your jump, and the conditions.

please, be smart people.

thank you TVPB.

No hurry to die people, you have your whole lives to die.

Paul's sister informed me at the funeral that his card came through from Joy a day or two before.

He was awarded BASE # 1066 which i am sure would make any UK basejumper smile as it is of course the date of the Battle of Hastings which is a very pivotal moment in British history.
