Winter BASE jump goes wrong
- 8 years ago
A dramatic video has emerged from Norway of a BASE jumper colliding with a tree.
The helmet camera video, which was captured in Hol on Thursday, shows the daredevil perform a low altitude BASE jump, falling fast for a second or so before releasing the chute.
Unfortunately, he ends up on a collision course with a forest and doesn't have time to steer away. The video ends with a crash, a bump and a tangle of limbs, ropes and branches.
The jumper wasn't seriously injured in the accident.
"Low altitude BASE jump with tree forest right in your face is not a good idea," the jumper later wrote online.
