BASE Jumper Lands on Land Rover in Moscow Street
The Woodward Report ^ | December 3, 2009

Posted on 12/05/2009 1:03:01 PM PST by honestabe010

Officers of the Moscow Traffic Safety Inspectorate documented a bizarre car accident, which took place in Russia’s capital on November 29 at night. The accident occurred because of a B.A.S.E. jumper.

The car accident took place in Moscow’s north on Sunday night. The B.A.S.E. jumper was jumping off a high-rise building on Moscow’s Khodynsky Boulevard. The man miscalculated the trajectory of his flight and landed on a Land Rover vehicle that was traveling along the street. In addition to the driver, there was a woman and a child on the back seat of the vehicle.

The extreme jumper, a 31-year-old man, named only as Kirill, suffered minor injuries as a result of his misfortunate landing. He was hospitalized with a fracture of his ankle.

The athlete is very sorry about what he did.

“I am an a******! I usually land on playgrounds or school stadiums, but I landed on a car! Well, I guess I will have to pay for the damage that I caused to the car,” he said.

Kirill added that he was going in for B.A.S.E. jumping for three years.

Are we to assume that the occupants of the Rump Rover, er, I mean Range Rover, are OK?

The most surprising part of the story is that the Land Rover was not either being pulled by a wrecker or being pushed by hand!

If you parachute-jump off a highrise, stick a landing on a moving car, and aside from a broken ankle, you’re alive and well to tell people what an a-hole you are...

Especially not having a camera crew around to get it
on tape.

Land Rover needs to run with this.
