Another BASE Jumping record
According to the Anchorage Daily News
Miles Daisher has jumped off the Perrine bridge - the only US bridge that allows BASE jumping - 57 times in 24 hours.
I reported about Gary Cunningham who jumped off the the 421-metre (1,381ft) Menara Kuala Lumpur tower 133 times during new year , now it would seem that BASE jumpers are determined to jump of as many things as possible - as many times as possible.
BASE jumpers know what they are doing after all - anyone who can repeat the same jump 57 or 133 times has their safety systems well and truly in place.
Perhaps stunts like this will convince Joe Public that BASE jumping isn't the dangerous madness it appears to be - after all you are more likely to be killed while horse riding in America than while BASE jumping all over the world.
