Base-jump: un Français de 36 ans se tue dans l'Oberland bernois
LAUTERBRUNNEN - Un Français âgé de 36 ans s'est tué lundi en pratiquant le base-jumping dans l'Oberland bernois. Son parachute s'est d'abord ouvert correctement, avant d'effectuer une rotation de 180 degrés et de projeter l'homme contre la paroi rocheuse.
[ats] - Il a ensuite chuté dans le vide, a précisé la police cantonale bernoise. Début juin, deux autres adeptes de ce sport extrême avaient été grièvement blessés lors d'un saut près de Lauterbrunnen (BE).

Le "base jump" est une forme de parachutisme qui consiste à se jeter dans le vide depuis un bâtiment, une antenne, un pont ou une falaise. Ce sport à risque est né aux Etats-Unis.

Sad news for all. Good thoughts and condolences from the canine crew in Vancouver BC.

The article (if my French is still working) suggests that two other jumpers have been seriously injured in Lauterbrunnen since June ("[d]ébut juin, deux autres adeptes de ce sport extrême avaient été grièvement blessés lors d'un saut près de Lauterbrunnen").

Peace,

Condolences to family and friends.

Anyone know the name of the jumper or more details? We were just there last week and have our fingers crossed that it wasn't one of our friends...

Condolences to the jumper's friends & family.

Hello,
It's not that I don't understand your sentiment,
it's just that I find it rather selfish.
It most certainly was someone elses friend,
possibly someone's son, father, lover, mate......
When ANY base jumper goes in, I am saddened.
We are ALL brothers and sisters.
It's a sensitive issue,
please make comments with respect to the family
and friends of our fallen base bro,
whoever he is.
