A SYDNEY basejumper who proudly told on the web about his thrillseeking life has plunged to his death on a jump in Mexico.
Adam Gibson, 25, died after jumping off am 800m cliff in the Sumidero canyon but his body hit the rocks on the way down before plunging into a river below.
It was unclear whether Mr Gibson's parachute had also malfunctioned.
BASE is an acronym for building, antennae, span and earth, the types of platforms from which participants in the extreme sport jump.
On the website http://www.cookiecomposites.com, Mr Gibson said he had completed more than 400 jumps over his career.
Just seems ironic that these police of all things moral can ban adds where a couple of lads are doing circle work on some salt pans, which I believe a good learning opportunity for any of our young yet they allow promotion of such high risk activities as base jumping.
