All BASE jumpers are Darwin graduates per se: even if they don't kill themselves, they usually got their gonads microwaved to hell by climbing on all those live antennas :D.

This being said, I can only admire the courage and the professionalism that those guys and gals demonstrate (the real BASE jumpers, not the whackos doing it without proper gear/training and mostly unaware of the risks). Some people have more than 1000 BASE jumps.
