When Base Jumping Goes Very Wrong
Sky diving is when you strap on a parachute and jump out of an airplane. Base jumping is when you strap on a parachute, jump off something tall (like a building or a bridge) and deploy the parachute before you splat into the pavement.
A base jumper tried jumping off a large hotel building in Acapulco recently. Unfortunately, he caught a gust of wind right after he opened his parachute, and crashed into the building he just jumped from.
Luckily, he wasn’t hurt, and a nice old lady was there to help him get untangled and offer him a refreshing glass of Mexico ice water.
Don’t try this at home kids.
