“I caught him within about one and a half seconds from jumping straight to his death. There is no way around it, if he had jumped off that object he was going to die.
“How this can happen I do not know but i hope this video will raise awareness to how important it is to pay attention to detail when base jumping. So many new jumpers come into this sport thinking it is all about go pros and social media and they forget the fundamentals of how serious and dangerous this sport can be if respect is not given to every aspect of it. I am glad i saved someone’s life – but each jumper must have the ability to save their own on each and every jump.’
