A thrill-seeking attempt ended in tragedy when a 48-year-old man died in what appeared to be a BASE-jumping accident in the UTC area. SDPD said the man’s teenage daughter witnessed the jump.
“For those that are out there and do these thrill-seeking types of events the impacts of what happens when things don’t go as planned extend far beyond that individual that lost their life,” said Wahl. “Here we have a 16-year-old that witnessed it, she’s never going to forget that moment. Also, first responders witnessed can’t be unseen and witnesses from the apartment complex all saw the aftermath.
Security guards at the building told NBC 7 BASE jumping has been happening at the building for at least the past month. BASE jumping consists of parachuting from fixed objects. BASE is an acronym for the categories of objects people leap from: buildings, antennae, spans and earth, such as cliffs.
