I've been base jumping for quite some time now, and it's natural that I've had a couple of close calls. Thankfully, I've only broken five bones. All of my failures were due to a combination of mistakes and bad luck. Each has its own unique story and a certain state of mind I had before the jump. I am willing to share them if you ask. Feel free to PM me if you want. I didn't wanted to put it on b.i.r.d.s. though.
