British skydiver killed jumping off 800m cliff in Italy Tags:United Kingdom 6 comments More of a BASE jump than a skydive I don’t want any more thumbs down, can anyone else say it for me? My heart goes out to the poor sods who had to scrape him off the floor. Turns out they have gravity in Italy too. >A British base jumper has been killed after his **parachute failed to open**. I don’t want my life tied to the effectiveness of the equipment. Don’t they normally have a backup parachute in case the main one fails? Scary stuff. Welp, at least he died doing what he loved.
