Thanks for sharing your BASE experiences with us Bruce.  So far
my only contact with BASE has been a subscription to the BASE
newsletter ( a fascinating compilation of BASE stories and
tidbits).  I would like to have a crack at a BASE jump - just
to see what it's like.  Like you, I wouldn't consider making
a habit of it - like jumping without a reserve - chances are
the more you do the less likely you are to relate the experience
to your grandchildren.

Does anyone happen to know how Carl Boenish was killed ?
I heard he was jumping Troll Viggen at the time. I assume
he hit the wall under canopy.
