first jump off Baba Dağ

[snowtop]

an over 6ft male friend of mine wants to know if there are any recommendations of a mature pilot for him to go with as he tries leaping into the abyss.  i thank you one and all in advance

Pontius ?

[Jacqui Harvey]

Sky Sports in Oludeniz is always the place that gets the best feedback.  If your friend is coming from the U.K. tell him to take out Hazardous Sports Insurance before he leaves as his normal travel insurance will not cover sport.

I have a better suggestion; Tell him NOT to do it, PEOPLE DIE, Professional people !!

[snowtop]

I agree with you Gordon, but I think you may be like me, one of the older generation, our sense of reckless adventure has gone and never to return.  Possibly, (if we look back), we, in our 30's or 40's would possibly have considered doing this kind of thing.

Last year 15 people died on Babadag......

The thought of throwing myself from the top of a mountain, whether tied to a person of whom I have had no prior knowledge, or on my own, I can assure you, Snowtop, would NEVER, in the creation of Christ, have even found the slightest chink in my brain upon which to alight. Yes Mercury, 15 killed, & how many more crippled for life. My Darling Loz did the stupid deed in 2002, much against my wishes, & imploring her not to; both her & her "pilot" fell over on the 1st "run-off", & were being dragged towards a vertical drop-off, when pulled back by others. On the 2nd, "successful"? attempt, they actually semi-demolished a tree on Olu Deniz prom. Still wanna have a go ? Then lead on McDuff !!

As one of the waiters at the Belcekiz Beach pointed out when a paraglider smacked into the side of the hotel one morning. "Only a real expert could have managed that!"

I once saw a young woman land awkwardly on her knees and she took all the skin off her knees and shins, down to the bone ! It still makes me cringe when I think about it.

We always use Sky Sports.  We would not dream of using any other operator.
