Base jumping, epic fail and the guy lives.....
Doesn't need any words. I've jumped from 26,250 for a purpose, base jumping has no purpose. This moron lived to tell his tale.

weird.
you'd think the guy holding the camera would have a stronger initial response. Guess it took him a bit longer to realize what happened.
