Elsewhere there have been suggestions that “Jester”, the BASE jumper in this video, was drunk. I think that might be because of his annoying – high on adrenaline – routine at the start because his movements seem far too measured when he does is his personal somersault and escapes the clutches of the law… temporarily at least.
When you consider the fact that there was nowhere to go when he got to the bottom, jumping off the bridge does seem a little stupid – I’m not a lawyer but I am presuming that one would find oneself in less trouble for attempting to BASE jump than for actual BASE jumping – so he probably should have just counted his losses and called it a day.
But he didn’t and we all we got was this stupid but really entertaining video.
