base jumping

My nana lived to be 104 years of age and she was a spunky lady all her life. She learned to swim in her 80s, survived a mastectomy in her 90s and told it like it is right into her 100s. But she never based jumped like Dorothy Custer did. She is one of the spunkiest old ladies you’ll ever meet.

Russian daredevil Valery Rozov has set a new world record with a base jump 7,220 meters above sea level from Mount Everest. The 48-year-old has jumped off the north face of the mountain to record the world's highest ever base jump ever. 7220 meters is approximately a height of 23,688 feet above sea level. Wow!

You'll never see me doing this, base jumping that is. Daredevil Matthew Gough, a 25-year-old base jumper in Italy fell a thousand feet and actually survived after his parachute got twisted. This guy is tough because he hit the ground at 40 miles an hour !
