Do you have the guts? Then here's your chance!
As one of the founders of Bridge Day, with 23 jumps off the bridge, I can assure you that it's not a carnival ride.
Having said that.... now here's YOUR chance:
Bridge Day 2011
TandemBASE and Vertical Visions are excited to announce the availability of 10 (ten) TandemBASE jump slots for Bridge Day 2011. Available for the first time in Bridge Day’s 32 year history, people with no prior jump experience will be able to make a BASE jump while attached to a highly experienced jump professional.
I think it would be WAY COOL to have some local personality jump!

What? Nothing? No comment? No takers? Not even a "are you out of your mind?"
Hahaha.... it's funny how some topics become quickly buried if they don't include anything other than obscure dead people.

Failure: Jumps off bridge 23 times and is still alive.
Since that doesn't work, moves to career in radio.

Seriously, though. I would just like to make it to a bridge day. I have tried every year to go and something always comes up. Hopefully, this will be the year.

I was in radio LONG before there was a Bridge Day.
But you're not far from wrong on the other hand.

The thought appeals to me, but I don't know if I could handle the adrenaline rush.
A roller coaster does it for me.

HE!! F%$#*NG NO!
The good news is I will be in San Francisco that weekend so I have an excuse to not try this stunt.
Hmmm........
On second thought, that weekend involves my in-laws so I might want to jump without a chute or a bungee cord.

I'll put this in the nicest way I can.
FUCK YOU!
If God wanted me to jump off of a bridge with a super rubber band tied around me, he would have gave me balls of titanium.

I can barely handle going above the 4th rung on a ladder.
I would shit myself, have a heart attack, and die just standing on the edge of that thing.

Fogle also had a custom motorcycle built to accommodate his disability.
Somethings not right about that story. How could a TRUE quadriplegic ride a motorcycle? If that's possible, then skydiving would be a piece of cake.
