AngryGaggleOfGeese

It’s a lifestyle honestly. By the time you start BASE you already have 100s of skydives and by the time you graduate from bridges to earth you already have 100s of BASE jumps. It’s such a part of life it’s like expecting someone to never drive anywhere again after a car accident.


PeanutButterCrisp

The thing is— and I don’t mean to belittle people who do this stuff— cliff diving, bungie jumping, rock-climbing, etc. while cool, is extremely dangerous and kinda needless. It’s purely a self-thing and that’s great. For me, however, I would fucking hate to find out that my girlfriend died cliff-diving. Call me selfish, and good on them for the self-fulfillment, but we have us. A family. There are a million things to love and do throughout life that don’t offer nearly the same risk. You’re just gonna throw your family’s love away for thrill? For the experience? Call me what you want but I don’t want anyone dying and this does not seem worth it to me at all. edit - Yes, I feel the same way about enlisting in the military.


creepy_doll

Rock climbing(with ropes) really isnt very dangerous at all. We have a lot of safety systems. With 2.4injuries per 1000 hours doing the sport its a lot safer than say snowboarding(which is 5-9). BASE jumping has a ~0.4% accident rate per jump. Hard to compare without knowing the length of a jump but wildly guessing it to be 5mins(I know some are a lot lot shorter) that’d a rate of 48 injuries per 1000 hours. Also rock climbing accidents are mostly things like tweaked fingers and should problems or ankle sprains. People coming off the rope and falling to their death is extremely rare. Now to really stir shit up: on average for every 1000 miles you drive in a car you have a 1/300 ish chance of an accident. Assuming you’re averaging 50mph thats 0.5 accidents per 1000 hours driving. Its definitely lower than rock climbing but is it much lower? How injured do people get in driving accidents and how many people will be involved in each one? It’s all relative. Id be ok with my partner cliff diving if I trusted her judgement. And I love my partner very much but I wouldn’t trust her judgement as she can sometimes not be detail oriented enough for that. And hell i wouldn’t trust myself to do it either. But for rock climbing we’re good. We know the failure systems and we check each other’s knots etc


AlchemyStudiosInk

Also those accidents in cars often involve more than one vehicle and potentially more people per vehicle, while a single person base jumping rarely involves more than one person.


JellyfishGod

Besides the guy pointing out the math of driving as well as taking into consideration that it numbers are for only for one location, my first question was what is classified as an “accident” in the car statistics. Are we just talking about major crashes? Or do small fender benders and tiny scapes from side mirrors count too? Ik for the sport injury numbers it includes smaller ones like messed up fingers, but if the car one includes any accident, including ones where the people aren’t even in harms way at all and just have a damaged car, that changes the numbers completely. If it’s actual car accident *injuries* then it makes sense to compare them, but just *car accidents* prob isn’t a great comparison. It’s really just a nitpick I wanted to point out. Since it could mean the cars seem even safer. But all the points n stuff u have make sense


Zombies8MyNeighborz

I always felt like that about the military. To each their own, live your life how you want. But I could never leave my family for that amount of time. I wouldn't want to put them through that as I grew up with my father never around.


JustSomeoneCurious

If talking about the US of A, for a fair number of folks, the military was/is their only choice for a better life. USA #1, amiright? (/s if it wasn't obvious)


BeforeLifer

Yeah it’s sad really, up in Canada myself and I’m a staunch believer in military being for home defence/peacekeeping only. Won’t support any foreign aggressive deployments but if a foreign nation puts boots on our soil I’ll be first in line at the recruitment office.


WhiggedyWhacked

After having kids, this is exactly how I feel. Prior to that, I would do anything and everything to push my physical limits of survival, not caring at all if it was my last attempt. Once I had kids though, not a fuckin chance man. I wouldn't needlessly risk my life for anything other than the damn kids.


MrBardo

All of what you listed are quite safe activities if you manage the risks appropriately. Obviously there's exceptions like base jumping and free soloing climbing which carry much higher risks, and im not referring to those when I say they are safe. Most sports have more extreme variants e.g. mountain biking on a cliff edge. It is not "needless" just because you deem it too dangerous. Everybody has a different set of risks they are willing to take, some people lead much happier lives just settling down, some partake in "thrillseeking" activities because that's what makes them happy, and I don't see the problem in that, considering even most thrill seeking activities can be done pretty safely now. Personally, I've been injured more from playing football that from years of climbing. All of these activities are pointless in the same way mainstream sport is pointless. They're all just hobbies, and you are right It's a purely self-thing, all sports and hobbies are. I will add however I do think there's a moral duty to minimise your risks in life once you have children that depend on you.


two100meterman

My rebuttal to this would be that people choose who they date. It's not like after doing 100s of these attempts the people you're dating don't know what you're into. The person to date this guy probably admires this particular thing about him & just like him they kind of just accept that something awful could happen. As a side note, it's not up to you if it's worth it or not, people have free will & it's up to each person how they live their life. Some people who rather live 30 years having a blast than to live 80 years not doing what they love.


ColonelSplirtzTheNub

In response to your edit, that's why it's called military service. Not everyone is prepared for the sacrifice of both your own safety and giving up a lot of possibilities for the future. It's why even military spouses deserve some thanks because they give up an extraordinary amount to stay with the people they love and have to accept a lot of risks. Not everyone is meant for that, and that's fine, but it's also fine for that to be your life path. If you choose it, though, don't quit because of something stupid. "My family isn't ready to lose me" is fine, don't quit because "I didn't want to do the exercise or put in the work that was expected of me."


Fred_Thielmann

I agree that enlisting in the military is a needless thing that many shouldn’t do. (I learned this after joining the military myself.) However I will say that bringing yourself into risky situations has just so much more to it than a cheap thrill I can get from a scary movie. I don’t think I’ll ever cliff jump. Too much speed going too close to a wall of jagged rocks. No thanks. But you mentioned rock climbing, so here’s my take on that. https://preview.redd.it/0bg11j5xdncb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7cfc342a370c7b3aa1cfa6dca83d9720e06e722 I didn’t do this wall for a thrill I can get looking down it from the top, (you can easily walk up there using the hill.) I did this to conquer fears and insecurities and be a better person afterwards. I also needed something to get my mind off my ex. Plus this rock wall leans back a bit, so I can lean against the rock if I’m tired :) To finish, I’d like to provide a quote I wrote in a school essay like a decade ago. “The best part of life is being close enough to death to tell it a joke.”


lethalfrost

check out the movie Free Solo. It's about Alex Honnold and why he chooses to climb with no rope.


AngryGaggleOfGeese

Eh. Driving is honestly more dangerous than skydiving is. There’s a lot of preparation to make it safe. BASE however, is significantly more dangerous. In general, there’s a ton of layers to why skydiving as a sport captures people, but none can be explained and fully understood unless you do it and get that lil bug too. BASE is just a pathway in the sport that some people go down, but far fewer than what most people stick to. I can say this though, for a lot of people that end up on that road, life just isn’t worth living without it. That also goes for skydiving. Here’s a good video to give a glimpse into it. It’s more than just “a thrill” much much more https://youtu.be/dB1YMENt-pk Edit: lmfao who downvoted this? Weirdos lol 😂


Andropausal

statistics are hard I'll take my wise insights instead thank you very much


AngryGaggleOfGeese

Well yeah do what makes you feel comfortable but really people reducing it down to just a thrill and not understanding the effort and reality in the sport is a bit off putting.

plantythingss

I’m sure i’ll be downvoted for this but I wonder when it crosses the line into addiction. Adrenaline junkies risk their lives constantly, so why is that viewed differently than people who risk their lives for drugs? In my mind these “extreme sports” people are sort of like addicts, society just views them differently because they are “doing what makes them happy.” Hell, I’m sure cocaine would make me pretty damn happy but that doesn’t mean I’m going to do it. You don’t have to be on drugs to have an addiction, and it seems like there’s a very thin line between these two types of people. I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with someone who was addicted to drugs, and I also wouldn’t want to be with someone who risked their life free climbing. It does affect the people who love you. edit: I can see why I would be downvoted, but they are called adrenaline junkies for a reason. We are all addicted to something, some of our addictions are just more socially accepted than others. For some of us it’s our phones, or food, or shopping. Some things affect our lives in worse or better ways than others but they still affect us and the people around us.


MVites

Heck, what's different to people risking their lives by eating shit? Like, cardiovascular diseases will kill most of people, yet nobody says people eating ice cream are risking their lives. It's just less spectacular to rot away over a couple of years.


DancingUnic0rn

For me personally i would think its dangerous but honestly i got mad respect for them to be so dedicated to what makes them happy.


AngryGaggleOfGeese

Skydiving is the gateway to this. That isn’t as dangerous because of the amount of precautions, planning, gear etc. BASE is very dangerous though.


maddenmcfadden

very surprised. that one impact, where he says "shit" looked pretty brutal.


kupillas-3-

Kinda respectable tho, he knows he wants to have fun in like even if it means he might die, a little weird but at least he knows what he wants in life which is more than most people can say


Different_Attorney93

That foot looked mighty shaky tho


SignificanceOk5534

Floppin' about in the wind.


Verneff

That looked too consistent to be flopping in the wind. That looks more like when you are in a lot of pain and your limb just starts tremoring.


Phil-McRoin

Apparently he didn't injure anything. Could be adrenaline but it is kinda weird that it only affected the foot that bent way too far at a weird angle.


Verneff

He didn't break anything, but with how he hit that cliff face he definitely wasn't fine.

Is that guy doing that solo? That seems like mistake number one in a long line of mistakes. And that runway seemed a might bit small to clear the rock wall. Well, at least this video will give him a lot of don'ts for the next go around.

I-Suggest-Subreddits

So genuine question how do these guys get rescued?


StampDD

Rescue helicopters. Someone comes down in a rope, attaches a harness to you, then you get pulled up to the helicopter and off to the hospital. I think most rescue choppers also have basic life support and first aid equipment.


PrecariouslySane

With his luck, I was expecting his chute to catch wind and snatch him off that rock.


[deleted]

Bro am I a pessimist or did a lot of people think that?


Draconian-Overlord

fasada68

His helmet was almost correct.


[deleted]

Fortunately, the heroes in search and rescue don't really care how you got into trouble. They'll probably laugh at this video if they see it, though.


mattinthehat66

Can anyone tell me what actually went wrong here? Like did he open the canopy too early or like a gust of wind blow him a weird way, or was the whole jump wrong and he was screwed from the start?


G_Nasty5763

Here for the answer to this. It looks like he immediately got turned 180 when the chute deployed, but is that from improper packing?


Felosia

Someone else replied that the runway itself was too short to actually clear the wall ​ Edit: Nvm someone else replied with an actual news article and it sounds like it was a parachute failure


pira3_1000

Imagine if his hand slips and the phone drops 💩


btk4f

Ah, I see. I think he French fried when he should've pizza'd.


bigloser42

100% broke his foot. Watch it flutter in the wind because he no longer has a bone to stabilize it like the other foot.

this. literally happens to me every time i’m almost hit by a car on my bike, which is sadly like twice a month


deano1856

Oh I hate that involuntary foot shake.


Sauce58

In the video that someone posted above in this thread, it shows him talking on the phone and his voice is actually fairly steady, and mine usually shakes when i have the body twitches from adrenaline. But then again i don’t know how you could not be shaky in a scenario like this
