[TowerTalk] Base jumping from OH8X

[David Gilbert]

Base jumpers get their thrill from almost dying, so it's probably a moot 
point.

My oldest son has done a lot of sky diving, but thankfully enjoys life 
enough not to have ever done any base jumping.  Some of the stories he 
told me about base jumping curdled my blood, though, and you can find 
lots of similar examples on YouTube.

73,
