Base jumping catastrophe
(0) | 10/10/2018 | Translate: May 26, 2017 / Lauterbrunnen, Bern, Switzerland
I started B.A.S.E. jumping 1 year ago. This was jump number 56. After the opening, I realized that some lines built a tension knot. I was not able to clear it, so the canopy started spinning and the vertical speed increased. Then I hit a tree, which probably saved my life. Unfortunately, the tree didn´t catch the canopy and I started falling again without being slowed down. I impacted on soft ground right next to rocks which probably had killed me if I had hit them.
Student dies of electric shock in internet cafe We all know that Chinese internet cafes can be dangerous places, but now it appears you are even putting your life at risk while unhooking your phone. Last Friday night, an 18-year-old factory worker named Xiong Xuan was killed in a freak accident as he attempted to unplug his mobile phone cable from a computer at an internet cafe in Wuhan. According a report by the Chutian Metropolis Daily, Xiong's brother was in the seat beside him when the accident happened. He told reporters that Xiong said that he was going to get some food and reached down to take his cell phone with him.
"When he tried to pull the cord out, he got shocked and cried out. Then he touched it again and his foot hit the steel pipe underneath the desk," his brother explained. He could only watch as his brother fell limp to the ground and started foaming at the mouth. An ambulance arrived to rush Xiong to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead on the way.
An investigation is underway into the tragic incident, and the internet cafe has had its license suspended. This isn't the first time that someone has been killed by their mobile phone in China. A couple of years ago, there were separate reports about women being electrocuted to death by charging iPhones. However, these reports seem to have done little to drive down demand.- Pedestrian was almost hit by a falling tree

- A father and his son recriminate a hunter for killing a deer The kid feels very bad about seeing the dead animal, and the father defends his son. The driver tells them that they probably buy meat on a daily basis at the supermarket to which they nod, then tells them that the meat of the supermarket is from animals that have suffered much more than the deer they just killed (and that they intend to eat), who were born in captivity and unhealthy living conditions. He tells the father that he should explain to his son that this is part of life. And then ... the thing gets a little out of control.

- A train hits semi-trailer stuck on the railway September 6, 2018 / Chester, Virginia, USA Turned the corner to approach the crossing and found the tractor-trailer stopped on the tracks with the crossing guard down and the lights flashing. The driver of the truck and a passenger were in the cab of the tractor up until a couple of seconds before the train hit. A third person was already out of the truck. The train hit the trailer which must have cut the brake lines to the tractor which rolled off the road after impact. The driver emerged from the other side of the tractor once the train had stopped. No one, to my knowledge, was hurt.

- Climber who was presumed dead in the Himalayas found with a Drone. Last Monday we reported on how mountaineer Rick Allen was successfully rescued, after being presumed dead, from Broad Peak (26,400 ft) in Pakistan. with help of a DJI Mavic Pro drone. Needless to say that everybody involved, is happy to report that Rick made it back to safety with only minor injuries. This is the latest, but far from the only, rescue mission in which a drone played a crucial role in saving someone's life. What sets this story apart though, are the extreme conditions (altitude and temperature) in which the DJI Mavic Pro was able to fly. From K2's basecamp, Bartek Bargiel who piloted the drone was able to answer some questions in a short interview with DroneDJ.

- Cicada Saved From Bird Being an adult Cicada is a very dangerous life. There are many hazards to avoid from the time they come out of their long underground nymph stage. I often see Cicadas who have escaped a bird attack, sometimes they have a limb missing or damaged wings. The way Cicadas get around the constant threat of bird attack is by having huge populations so they outnumber their prey. But one short flight to freedom can spell the end of a life. Nature seems so cruel, but a bird needs to eat as well.

- Georgia Officer Saves Choking Baby A Marietta police officer is being hailed as a hero, after performing life-saving measures for three minutes to help a choking two-month-old baby breathe again. "It was a joyous experience, I'll tell you that," Officer Nick St. Onge said about the ordeal, as he applied chest compressions and back blows for several minutes to dislodge what was blocking little Zeona's airway. On the evening of May 15, the baby's grandmother called 911 after the baby started choking and turning blue while feeding on a bottle. Officer Nick St. Onge arrived at the scene quickly before paramedics. "I had a panic attack... [saying]'Come on Zeona, come back to life... breathe baby,'" said Zeona's mother, CIAs Stovall, who tells us how she cried watching her baby in distress.
- Pure White Newborn Fawn Occurred on May 13, 2018 / Wisconsin, USA My puppy and I were walking through the woods for about two and a half hours on Mother's Day looking for morel mushrooms. When at the last hundred yards of our hike we found one morel mushroom. After finding the mushroom I stood up turning around and looked down the slope we were on and at about 20 yards their standing in the sunlight was this little amazing ball of white! So we slowly walked around the thicket the young deer was in and I got my phone out. On our adventure that day we saw multiple deer along with a couple adult white/albino deer. This property has seven adult white/albino deer. Before we got to the mushroom tree, we did notice one of the white deer run from the area the fawn was in. I'm assuming it was the mother to this one. I could hear her in the woods just on top of the hill as we were watching her baby. I have been an outdoor enthusiast my whole life and have never come across something so amazing!
- Eagle Gone Fishin’ We watched as this eagle flew from a nearby tree to catch a fish swimming near the top of the water. We could see that it was a large fish (Northern Pike). When the eagle hit the pike, it took him right under the water and we thought he would drown. See what happens!
