These articles are not instructional or meant to be used for any purpose other than entertainment. Don't be stupid: you can't learn to BASE jump by reading crap on the internet or by reading a book. Personal instruction from a qualified instructor is mandatory. If you have any comments on the content on this site or in The Book, go to the contact page and speak your mind.
