(Bernese Oberland, Switzerland)
Police launched an investigation into the death of a 48-year-old Norwegian who died while base jumping this week in the Lauterbrunnen area of the Bernese Oberland.Notably, in the last 19 years 33 people have died from base jumping in the area. Offhand, I suggest that base jumping in the Swiss Alps is about as safe as Russian Roulette.
The victim was with two colleagues and took off from a spot on the Mürrenfluh Mountain known as the “Ultimate High”, Bern cantonal police said on Tuesday.
The man took off around noon on Monday and crashed into a cliff face after a very steep flight, the force said.
Emergency officials from helicopter operator Air Glacier and the SAC rescue service responded immediately to a call for help but the man was found dead at the foot of a rock wall, according to police.

Correct you are but these people will continue to accept the challange because it's there
Yeah, I think your conclusion IS the point. Can't say I haven't played that game, if in different venues. It just wasn't available when I was more into the sport, did similar anyway and didn't find it all that much, if not from a base. *click* Saw enough others get the *boom*, but, and?
I don't even think it is psychologically incorrect. It's just a typical male behavior. Plus? It leaves more ladies for the rest of us. :p
