    I enjoy the pics of it, the videos are uncomfortable to watch but the people who jump have mad courage

    another successful year with one exception, one fellow's chute didn't open completely hope he recovers

    BASE jumper hits water after 876-foot freefall
    As spectators oohed and awed at jumpers’ descents Saturday morning during the 32nd annual Bridge Day celebration, one man’s chute didn’t fully open and he hit the water at an approximate speed of 60 to 80 miles per hour, emergency responders estimated, quickly changing the mood of the crowd.
    At around 10:30 a.m., the jumper, wearing a squirrel suit, otherwise known as a wing suit, hurled himself off the platform, but his chute barely opened before he hit the water after an 876-foot freefall.
    The impact, which sounded similar to a car crash, prompted a unified gasp of horror from those along the landing zone.

    There isn't much to see, it's reminiscent of Wiley Coyotes dust cloud in the canyon when he fell off a cliff
