About this listen

In this episode, Big Al talks with Mathew Penny a B.A.S.E. jumper who managed to survive the unthinkable. Mathew, explains the disciplines involved in B.A.S.E and tells the story of how he managed to survive a jump where his parachute did not deploy due to an entanglement of the bridle. This sent him plummeting towards the ground at near terminal velocity. But somehow he survived the impact. Matt reflects on how this event has changed the way he thinks of life and lives for today. Mathew is the only person I can think of who has fallen from this sort of height and actually lived to tell the tale!
