SPORT, IN THE NAME OF WHICH IS NOT afraid of dying (continued, ch.11) Anna Grace - is not the only reason that Aiello has changed their habits jumper. "At some point I realized," - he once wrote on a dedicated website BASE-jumpers "that the reasons that I started jumping (for example, to fill the gaping wound in my heart) do not coincide with the reasons for which I keep doing it. Shaped void in the soul can fill in jumping with a high degree of risk. But there are options for jumping (in particular, a variant of the 200-meter-high dam near my house is just one of those) who are very effectively treated my soul, give me a strange feeling of calmness and serenity. When you stand on the brink, a second time between the way you throw the pilot chute and the moment you open the main dome, is sometimes a lifetime. In addition, in case of any glitches when you struggle with danger, these moments as memorable, they plunged you into a special, unexplained unconsciousness, when you forget their name, and deprived of speech. Around the same time, Aiello began to understand the other, the tragic component of BASE jumping. At a time when he was imprisoned in a plaster corset, after his second injury, his friend Nick Hartshorn (nicknamed "Doctor Death", Nick performed the autopsy of the body of Kurt Cobain after his death) had told him the sad news regarding another BASE jumper. Called their mutual friend if Uerling, and the news was that Lee was killed during a jump from the TV tower in Florida. Understandably, his voice trembling Hartshorne, when he reported to Tom about this misfortune. "At the moment I first came face to face with the brutal truth about the deadly danger of BASE jumping," - says Aiello.

What happened to Hartshorne "much easier" - says Aiello. "Everyone knows that BASE jumping - in itself a very dangerous occupation, but there are cases that represent a pinnacle, a symbol of the dangers. A case in point was the death of Nick Hartshorne. After his death, I know I must continue to jump, to continue to care and to help all those who go on this difficult road. " That in this world could be more American than exercise your legal right to jump from the Perrine Bridge? When well promarinovannoe and fresh meat was on the table, Aiello took a nice pad and raised it high above his head. "All should leave its signature in the guest book" - he said. "All those who signed here, alive and well today. But three people who were with me at a party and refused to sign today is not with us in this world. " Don'ts Hangover morning of the fourth day in a death camp came under the drumming of heavy rain and howling wind.
