Re: [dan43] injuries?
Injuries,why you ask? Is it for education, stats,odds ?If you play long enough in any adventure activity, you will get injured sooner or later, if not maybe you where not playing hard enough 
The question should ask " How many people have suffered an injury and came back to play the game again "...it always interest me how many people will never play the game again.Pain and Suffering have such great power in getting the ego back to realty : )

Re: [dan43] injuries?
On my 43rd jump I cracked right heal. On my 98th jump I shattered my patella, compound fractured my femur and broke my hip. On my 614th jump I shattered my left calcareous and talus. Once a B.A.S.E. Jumper always a B.A.S.E. Jumper! When incidents happen and you’re laid up take the time to reflect upon your life. Think about where you want to be in life and see if your following the right path to get there. Dream big about what you want to accomplish. What doesn’t kill you only makes you wiser and stronger. Then return with more energy then ever before. Climb higher then you ever imagined. Then connect with the inner power and SEND!!!
