Charles Winstead was scaling the 3,000-foot granite wall of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley this week when an unfamiliar flapping sound erupted overhead and startled him. BASE jumping, the sport of leaping from fixed objects like buildings or cliffs and then parachuting to the ground, was pioneered in Yosemite National Park in the 1970s. While it has been effectively verboten there since the 1980s, BASE has continued to occur in secret. Read more at the link in our bio. A small group of BASE jumpe

Illegal BASE jumping from Yosemite National Park amid government shutdown

It appears some illegal BASE jumpers are taking advantage of the government shutdown in Yosemite. A trail runner and climber making his way up El Capitan spotted people illegally parachuting from the peak in early October. BASE jumping is prohibited in national parks, but enforcement is currently difficult with the park having to furlough many of its staff amid the shutdown.

On October 22, 1999, 60-year-old expert parachutist Jan Davis took part in a protest jump from Yosemite’s El Capitan—breaking National Park rules banning BASE jumping. She used borrowed gear to avoid confiscation of her own, but the ripcord was in an unfamiliar position. Mid-fall, she reached for her usual spot—but it wasn’t there. After a 20-second plunge, she struck the rocks below as her husband watched in horror. Known as the First Lady of Angel Falls, Jan’s death shocked the BASE community.

Jan Davis was a parachutist who died in a fall at Yosemite’s El Capitan in 1999. She leaped from the top of 3,200-foot El Capitan in a protest organized in response to the June 9 death of a man who parachuted off the same peak and drowned in the river below while trying to flee rangers.

Why BASE JUMPING is Banned in Yosemite? 23 years ago, Jan Davis stood atop El Capitan — a 3,200ft cliff in Yosemite — wearing a prison jumpsuit. It was meant to be a peaceful protest against the BASE jumping ban. Four others jumped safely. But when Jan jumped using cheaper gear to avoid it being confiscated… her parachute failed. She fell in front of a cheering crowd — including her husband — and died instantly. BASE jumping is 43x deadlier than skydiving. Today, it’s still banned at Yosemite. N
