I have started drawing up on Excel an analysis of the BASE fatality list where i can then run pivot tables and thus have some more detailed data.

This is proving to be taking longer than i first envisaged - so thought I would ask if anyone has done anything similar on "The List"??? I thought I read somewhere that someone was thinking of doing this very thing..!?!?

Hello --

Tom Aiello has been working extensively on something similar to this. You may want to contact him and share/exchange ideas. I think he is BASE jumping down in Mexico right now...and if he doesn't have internet access, it may be 10 to 12 days before you can get in touch with him.

Looking at it, the major reason used to be cliff strikes. Now it's impaact.

Also, the Trollveggen jump fatalities are not easily interpretable. This is because the first jumps there were at locations that were far more difficult than almost any cliff in the world.

I thought I remembered that Tom was doing this - was not quite sure.

Thanks
