This reminds me of a piece "Believe it or stuff it" (sic.) did a few
months ago about a group of skydivers who parachuted off of Angel
falls (sic.) in South America some place, supposedly the tallest waterfall
in the world.  So, as long as we are promulgating discussions, how about
this and other BASE activities (legal or otherwise)?  Is there not a
canyon bridge where it is legal once a year?  Just how risky (i.e. stupid)
is it?  Or is this something frowned on discussing here...

P.S.  Yes, I'm just a beginner, and wouldn't even CONSIDER doing anything
      this crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested.
