SPORT, IN THE NAME OF WHICH IS NOT afraid of dying (continued, part 5) Even after two incidents Aiello does not change his addiction, not tries to do something more secure. Pumped his stomach looks like a washboard, so what is the result of his dedicated and fanatical studies rock-climbing and jogging. He is a stocky, short and stocky, but looks very good. And it's not that he is in good shape. The whole thing in mind, because even the two incidents did not diminish his desire to jump. Six months later, after he recovered from the second injury, the third accident. Paradoxical ethic BASE jumping Despite what is usually a BASE jumper is a very good chance of being arrested, injured or even killed in the performance of the jump, the risk of getting one of these, to say the least trouble during the week-long stay in a death camp is low. Perrine Bridge - is one of the safest "jump" sites in the world. Openings of the bridge slowly creeps Snake River ("Snake"), so if the jumper does not reveal a parachute, when hitting the water, he has more chance of surviving than a hard landing on the stone cliffs. On the other hand, the river is not deep, so the risk of drowning is not very big. On the north side of the bridge there is a great and convenient place for landing. By itself, the bridge design is very convenient for jumping, so it does not contain support. If the jumper makes a mistake in the management of a parachute, or a sudden strong wind occurs, the probability of a collision with a solid barrier is negligible. And, unlike most other potential BASE dzhamperskih objects that require special permission from the authorities, Perrine Bridge is located on the territory of Idaho, liberal laws which prohibit the jumping. That's why many BASE jumpers are constantly coming to Twin Falls to jump here all day long. BASE jumpers are trying to clean up after an area and leave no trace of their presence after jumping finished Aiello goal is not to teach his players to jump from the Perrine Bridge, but he uses this relatively safe "hopping" point to prepare students to conquer a host of other high objects, jumping is prohibited. Even formed a kind of ethic relations jumpers. Aiello often talks about what "good for BASE jumpers. This refers to a peculiar set of rules of ethics, which, for example, prescribe to leave no trace of his stay after the jump, so that local authorities do not know about each of this "hopping" point, and simply throw this object, otherwise they in the future will not be able to use other jumpers. Another example of such informal rules is that the extremals arriving in the some area for the commission of hops, must first establish contacts with local amateurs BASE jumping to consult with them about how and when to make jumps with them " home "points. Due to the fact that not all fans of extreme jumps to uphold the ethical standards BASE jumping, many good points for jumps become inaccessible. For example, the municipality of San Francisco has increased the penalty for a jump from the bridge "Golden Gate" ten times - from a thousand to ten thousand dollars, for what is "thanks" jumper named Avery Bedenhop. Jumping from the observation deck Glacier Point, in Yosemite National Park, a long time were illegal because a group of thugs, who from birth nachhat any ethics and law, drove back to my truck ("I was jumping out there a few times", - said modestly Aiello).
