38-year-old Brandon John Chance and his wife, Aly, both jumped from the bridge around noon, but Brandon Chance deployed his parachute late and hit the water with the chute only partially deployed.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Lori Stewart said Chance’s wife pulled him from the water and performed CPR, but Chance did not survive his injuries.
The I.B. Perrine Bridge spans a canyon 486 feet (148 meters) above the Snake River in Twin Falls, Idaho. It’s a popular destination for BASE jumpers and is the only man-made structure in the United States where people can BASE jump year-round without a permit.

You take your Chances.
You do dangerous things, you need to know what you are doing and accept any consequences.
Once he hit the water, he changed his name to Bob.
Used to live near there - it’s spectacular and Shoshone Falls are even better. It’s a long, long way down to the water. Fishermen are advised to look up because one time a bungee jumper whose crew panicked and scooted at the approach of a police car left him just sort of dangling there. Not. Happy. People are crazy...
Darwinism.
Yep
Man jumps off high bridge.
Man dies.
Not exactly news ...
“The I.B. Perrine Bridge”

More like, Rock.
Warning to single women.
Marry stupid. Die stupid.
Blund trust is, well, stupid.
...unfortunate, for sure...I don’t want to sound cruel, but as a co-worker of mine used to say often and often and often, there is no cure for stupid.....sad story.....
I don't understand this new brand of "extreme" sports. BASE and cliff jumping, the need to ride a bike on a rocky precipice. These people are seeking to fill some empty space inside themselves. There's little to no margin for error. A small slip means instant death. Is your newlywed not worth it?
Hey, you may be on to something, is there a picture anywhere?
