Base jumper seriously injured

Jumping from heights is dangerous:

A man who leapt from the Sydney Harbour Bridge this morning is in a critical condition in hospital.

Police say a 39-year-old man, who was found with a parachute, is alleged to have jumped from the public walkway on the eastern side of the bridge around 2:30am (AEST).

A short time later the water police found the man being treated in a boat by ambulance officers.

He was taken to Royal North Shore hospital with injuries to his entire body and underwent surgery this morning.

Ouch! I probably shouldn't make fun of this guy since he was seriously hurt but I'm sure he understood the risks.
