BASE jumper takes unexpected fall off cliff
Norwegian BASE jumper Richard Henriksen planned to swing around a metal bar and then launch himself off a 4,000-foot cliff. But the bar suddenly collapsed, sending him over the side of the cliff before he was ready. As this video shows, the father of five narrowly missed slamming into the rock face, and his parachute brought him safely to the ground.

>>> this norwegian base jumper. he planned to swing around a metal bar and soar off a 4,000-foot cliff but the bar sudden i collapsed and sending him over the side before he was ready. amazingly the father of five narrowly missed slamming into the rock face and his parachute brought him to the ground. not the launch he intended or planned for. that's for sure.
