I will not have an opinion on what to do in Amerika!
But coming to let say Norway were BASE is mostly legal, please consult local jumpers in this matter!
We have ONE illegal wall in N (the Troll) Here we had a tragic axident in 99 where the jumpers left the scene and left the rescue service looking for the dead body (they found him a couple of months later)
They (the jumpers) comunicated with the relatives from Australia trough the press!!! (bad move)
The newspapers had a good summer! We (the BASE jumpers) had to defend legal BASE jumping for the rest of the year!
It is not my meanig to put the poor guys friends in a bad light, just want to point out that his last wish probably was not to make BASE illegal in Norway!!!
To ceep it legal it is vitaly important for us to have good relationship with the police, rescueservice (they might one day save your life), The public and ceeping a distance to the media!
So there may be important to check out with locals when you go to other places with other legal systems.
Play it safe out there!
