    At 0.17 I see the rock sticking out of the wall and sure enough he heads straight for it. I missed the wingsuit tie in but the volume is usually turned down too. Never considered B.A.S.E. jumping and this doesn't make me want to jump up and do it.

    Good news, the damage the rocks did to his vehicle can be covered by comprehensive as "falling objects." Also, he should submit the video in his claim to use his med pay coverage since he was "in, on, around, or entering/exiting" his vehicle. I think he could argue that he was trying to chute into his truck with how close he landed to it. haha.

    I noticed that, too. That cliff face is pretty smooth, except for that big slab sticking out and he hit right on top of it. Figures.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
