A conversation with a man who can fly
“About three BASE jumpers die in this valley each year.”I was sitting in the only pub in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, the main town of the Lauterbrunnen Valley, drinking my gin and tonic and picking the brains of the tall, sun-tanned BASE-jumper of a stranger.“We have about one death per 300 jumpers, a number that’s on par with climbing deaths.
