What happened at the end? My skybox decided not to record the last few minutes. Last bit I saw was when they questioned him and his girlfriend on whether he'd stop if they started a family.

Not bad, but I feel this is about the third base jumping documentary i've seen on CH4 and it wasn't the best one they've done. Still pretty barmy and those small jumps they do are the most dangerous ones.

That was it really, the other guy was too injured to jump after 12 months and stayed retired, they showed one more jump after that (central London/City?)

Hearing that guy trying to breathe with a punctured lung and broken ribs eek

That documentary just made me really want to visit Switzerland. God it's beautiful!

That guy isn't realistically going to stop doing it,at least not out of choice.

I really enjoyed the programme last night , the 02 arena jump was sheer madness , seems to me half the rush they get is actually getting access to the buildings after dark , the horse wolud have been high enough for me

Proper nutters

The guy who had the two accidents was seriously unlucky - I think I'd have retired after the second one.

The footage when he hit the building and then when his wires crossed by the mountain...yikes

Not sure about unlucky - that first fall looked so fast! If it was a building without a glass canopy at the bottom to break his fall a bit I think he would have been brown-bread!.. to get away with it twice is mega lucky!!

I liked it when they where on Nelsons Column and he said "I can't see any ships from here"

But I couldn't help but paraphrase Trainspotting. "There are last jumps, and there are last jumps"

Looks like good fun though.

Looks like a superb day out.

I must say that one of my ambitions is to base jump Angel Falls. I saw a guy do it on TV once and just thought that seems like such a rush.
