BASE jumping in a kilt
-
I wonder if that just might be someone we all know?
-
That was pretty sweet! Thanks.
-
It was just awesome!!!!!!!!!
-
Great! As if I needed something else on my "have to do" list!
-
People do that??!!!! :shock:
-
-
what tartan would you wear to go BASE jumping tho? lol
-
Nice; I'd like to try that sometime if my knees can take it anymore. I've made 3 static-line jumps, and had a blast. I went zip-lining 3 weeks ago, but they wouldn't let me wear my Workmans UK, because they thought it might interfere with the rigging.

Maybe a strange comment from someone who actually teaches climbing, rappelling, ropes courses, etc., but here goes: This guy is freakin' NUTS!!! NO WAY!!!!! :lol:

As another climbing instructor I'd have to whole heartedly agree with you on this one. The kilt seemed to work ok for this guy, but in general I'd say it is a bad idea. No way to get properly harnessed up unless you do that completely under the kilt which brings on a whole other set of problems.

Actually, it's not that hard. You can be sure he's wearing shorts underneath and the kilt is simply wrapped around above the leg straps. The BOC plot 'chute makes for easy and clean deployment - the handle is clearly visible on the right at waist level.
Good camera work! Nice view of Lysefjord. :D

I stand corrected on this point, thank you sir. However, rock climbing in a kilt is not something that I think could be easily accomplished.
