BASE Jumper Makes Daring Yosemite Leap

A pair of BASE jumpers made a daring dive in Yosemite National Park on September 10. California photographer https://www.facebook.com/ChrisFabregas/ Chris Fabregas caught sight of one of the jumping duo making a dramatic descent from https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/glacierpoint.htm Glacier Point . Footage shot by Fabregas doesn't show where the jumper lands. He told Storyful that at 7.30 am on the morning in question, "a man and a friend jumped off this https://www.scenicwonders.com/blog/beautiful-glacier-point" title="elevation 7,000-foot ledge at Glacier Point. I was able to film the second man jumping off the cliff wearing a wingsuit." Fabregas added, "I talked with a park ranger and they said this is illegal and they have only seen it in videos." It was, he said, "pretty amazing to see." Two rock climbers https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-extreme-athlete-dean-potter-dead-yosemite-2015051-story.html died while BASE jumping at Yosemite in 2015. BASE is an acronym for building, antenna, span (such as a bridge), and earth. (Footage By Chris Fabregas/Storyful via Getty Images)
