General BASE

Shortcut
Swiss Valley
Funny thing happened here 2 days ago. American girl lands in a tree, at some point somebody ask her if she has the heli insurance.
She told them no and also no LANDING CARD.She told them she did not know about either the landing card or the insurance.
Maybe we should do a bit or research before jumping here...

Andy,
You should be a good Samaritan and go right now and get her down out of that tree Wink. She is probably really thirsty by now.
Take care,

Re: [awest] Swiss Valley
Mate that is truly sad. Either she is a liar or a complete Drongo. Either way she shouldn't be jumping there. Sounds like another one who won't pay.

Re: [psychokiwi_base] Swiss Valley
I vote for Drongo. That is maybe why she landed in the trees. My question is "who brought her to the exit point?"
Take care,

Re: [base283] Swiss Valley
I dunno, that 200 francs I spent for a full year of IHI insurance, heli-rescue insurance, AND landing card was just way too much... you have to hold something back for the Horner bar tab Crazy I mean seriously, it is only an underhung, subterminal cliff with 100ft trees at the bottom-- what could possibly go wrong???

Re: [matt_f_001] Swiss Valley
Getting stuck in trees is for lightweights.
I have both rescue insurance and the landing card but when I hit the top of the trees, I like to fall all the way to the ground. Even if they are 60' high.
THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MINCE DIVISION!
Cool
