"The jumper, whose name is being withheld pending criminal charges, got hung up in the highline and it took some time to extricate him from the precarious position and get him to a hospital. He suffered considerable burns to over 80 percent of his body and was flown to a St. Louis hospital for treatment."

good luck to whoever you are. that has got to be bad, and they may want to further punish you?. ANyone know the DA there, "don't press charges" talk might help. Hell I'll email them too.

That mugshot's sweet Dave. Hope your buddy's alright.

... "cut the fence.."

If that part is true, give 'em the chair!

However, with the accuracy of the news media, it probably is not true...but you have to agree...it sounds better! Much more dangerous! LOL

Knowing Dave, I really doubt they cut the fence.

If anyone knows the name of the injured jumper, I'd appreciate a PM with it.

Thanks!

Dave's a government trained phantom ninja war God. He can pass through fences as a fine mist. edit to add: even though his high-and tight is getting a little gray Cool

He wouldn't cut shit. And it's sucks if he's gonna get hosed with someone else's lazy ass access to an object.

I like how wikipedia is now being sited in the media as a credible source... we need to edit the article to say more about how badass base jumpers are.

Re: [Para_Frog] One arrested, one injured in jump from cell tower
One of the most settled, thought out, before passing judgement and caring posts I've seen. Nice one. As an Electrical Contractor by trade, GAWD I hope he's okay! The burns are only part of the physical problems hopefully. Blue skies, NO black death!

No way Dave would cut a fence, not even maybe. It had to be that way already and they are just blaming him for it.

Hope the brother is ok, damn, that’s a tough one.

Tom I sent you the injured jumpers name and no they did not cut the fence.

Re: [baldas] One arrested, one injured in jump from cell tower
Damn, So much for under the radar.Frown And where the hell are my numbers under my pic?
Anyway, Of course we didn't cut the fence. I have know idea where that came from. This is the first I've heard of it myself.
And the injured jumper was burned more like 10%. SOB burned up my favorite soft shell jacket. He's in good spirits and has already mentioned a visit to Twin Falls next year.
I'm not going to get into details now but the power lines could have been avoided. Winds were good.
I guess I'm getting old because for the life of me I could not mist my ass out of that jail cell with the 8"x 12" grate in the floor to piss in. Don't get caught in the boondocks.Shocked

Glad everyone's alright. Now we can laugh at that sweet ass helmet hair mugshot that even impressed Blondie.

Sorry to hear about your Breakfast Club limited edition Member's Only jacket though. That sucks.

I think I've seen em on eBay, so maybe I'll pick you one up and bring it to Moab. Cool

You're the original parafrog gangster dude.

Dave can put me down for at least $40, since I still owe it to him from a few years back.

Thanks Tom but it's still to early to tell. Just imagin getting busted for BASE jumping in "Mayberry". That's what were looking at.

Hey Stitch, I forgot about that. Hold on to it for now and maybe we can just buy $40.00 in beer someday.
