Somebody's GOT to have a video of this tard and his last moments. I wonder if there was a bloom when he hit the bridge.

Before the accident, Weston had participated in the Go Fast Games, jumping off the bridge with about 40 other BASE jumpers athletes who skydive from fixed objects. All your base are ... oh, you know the drill.

You just have to know there are probably 20+ videos of this accident out there. Not sure I would want to see the one that's really close up and personal, though.

I've been there..it's a pretty wild setting.
If he was supposed to come screaming past the bridge and then pull his cord afterward, that would have been quite a show. Let me tell you there is very little room down there between those cliffs.

The only time I've been to the bridge was when I was about 10 years old. I had an inner ear infection and when dad drove across that bridge...well, I can't describe the intense vertigo I experienced.
Plus, my screaming from the backseat of the family truckster made the trip across the bridge much faster than my dad wanted...LOL!
I have to go back someday.

I saw a show about BASE jumping, and the credits was an obiturary for every one of the (at least 5) people they interviewed.
I just hope they realize their hobby is a certain death wish.

Adds a whole new spin to our mothers' question:
"If all the other kids wanted to jump off a bridge, would you join them?"

The bridge was shut down for about 15 to 20 minutes. Is THAT what they built this bridge for?

I used to believe that, but I have been converted.
I aknowledge that Darwin was in error.
This is obviously the result of Inteligent Design.
