When conditions are as depicted in
the attached photo it is probably
a good idea to not jump.

I dunno, which side were you thinking about getting off?

B.A.S.E.T.
a tornado as an object. how dangerous could it be? slight PC/bridle entanglement at worst

hmmm.... by definition, a tornado is an event, not an object. but it could be done. look out for debris, and cows.

Tuck that pc and bridle in nice and tight, a premie in a 300mph+ funnel would be likely to aggravate any prior back injuries you might have.

That's a freakin' sweet picture, all other things aside. Although, why wouldn't the photographer be, y'know, running instead of waiting for the perfect lightning strike to occur for the pic?

it looks photoshopped.

High probability. <==Click

Looks marginal.

Cute

From the email forward where I got
this awesome photo the caption said
the photographer was trying to snap
a shot of lighting and serendipitously
captured the tornado.

Are jumping drilling rigs going to be the next big thing in BASE??

ah, the memories!!!! 180's for everyone!

What up Brother?

You kickin' ass and taking names as a Big Bad DI?

PM'd me about...I'm thinking

There is a (MIS)quote I recall, "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

Hope I can rough them up into shape... lord(insert your word of choice) knows that the video game generation is a tad on the chubby/ lazy side...

a chunk of them have THS.... you ask what is T.H.S.?

Tiny Heart Syndrome.

however...leaping from a tower caught in a tornado...it's an object still. B.At.S.E.?

no then its a skydive because the tower is flying.
