Crazy People Base Jumping Off Wind Turbines

July 29, 2008 · Print This Article

Base jumping off wind turbines – I guess it was bound to happen. While some people might think this is totally awesome – dare I say, rad – it makes me want to cling to the ground for dear life. The idea of standing on the top of a wind turbine is enough to squeeze my stomach into painful little knots, let alone the idea of actually jumping off one.

That, my friends, takes some serious balls!

    14 people have died due to the wind power industry, putting it at 150 times more dangerous in terms of deaths per unit energy produced. Yes that includes Chernobyl, all 75 deaths there. And yes, that includes the one person in Holland who parachuted into the blades.

    :D I’m sorry Edward, but this is one of the stupidest statements I’ve read in a loooong time:

    “14 people have died due to the wind power industry, putting it at 150 times more dangerous in terms of deaths per unit energy produced. Yes that includes Chernobyl, all 75 deaths there. And yes, that includes the one person in Holland who parachuted into the blades.”

    That’s so dumb on so many levels, it makes me think you’re Colberting us.
