The Ideas I´m hangin on now are as follows. Please give me your comments, Also I wish to say that on July 1st I will start a two month hitch in Norway at Lysebotn and you can fax me at cc (47) 5170 3805 or contact Marco Rossi via posting a response requesting he contact you with his email addresse and leaving your email addresse.

Ideas;
1. Certification of inspection of gear acceptable for BASE by persons with para/technical license . This is not so difficult as it sounds. Most countries have rig, reserve and main certification. Germany is the first country to certify BASE gear, and has been doing so for around 2 yrs. Allowing for legal BASE jumps in this country. We tested them at 300lbs@200mph, 135kg@320km, Same weight and speed requirements as TSO-C23-d in USA. The gear we tested passed with flying colors.

If your country does not, Please develop one for BASE via the manufacturers of the canopy and the rigging system in your country. Or find a country that does. It´s possible that I can find a few "Klasse 5 Prufer´s" from Germany in USA that can do this inspection and certification that is already in use and accepted in the Euro Union.

2. The Info-Packet stating the winds that frequent the area and the possible negative effects on safe jumping (but without road/trail maps), with check-in, check-out logs, with a list of locals to contact. We are a long ways away from having an international licensing standard. At least one country already has a national standard accepted by the Gov.

If we want Brento to stay legal, This may work. As for the Insurance thingy, BASE only accounts for around 0.001 of heli involved rescue/recovery IMHO in the last 12 months, I am pretty sure There is at least 3 sport related ones per day average easily in this area.
Your feedback is welcome and desired.
