Basejumper Survives 1000 ft fall: Has Video To Prove It
Matthew Gough, 25, escaped with minor cuts and bruises
His parachute got twisted on the way down at Lake Garda, Italy
‘I was in total shock that I was alive,’ said basejumper
Matthew had done 180 jumps around the world and none have gone wrong

He landed in a sandy area, but not before he initially slammed in to a group of rocks. Gough walked away from the ordeal nearly unscathed, with only a few cuts and bruises. He was quoted as having said, “I was in total shock that I was alive.”

The Lichfield, Straffordshire local was able to film the entire terrifying drop with a helmet mounted camera.

The jump went wrong he says, as “the parachute twisted and when it inflated it was facing backwards” and, “due to the twists I couldn’t control it, I did the best I could with the situation and tried to avoid the cliff but I didn’t have the time or the space to avoid the impact.”

Shaken by the incident, Matthew cut short a tour of the world that he was peppering with extreme sports stunts.

His arrival in Britain began with a seven hour hospital visit during which doctors performed tests.

Gough was attempting the jump at Lake Garda, in northern Italy.

Skydiver survives 13,000 foot fall

A New Zealand skydiver has spoken about how fortunate he is to be alive, and the thoughts that raced through his head as he plummeted earthwards from 13,000 feet. The weather was good and everything seemed normal when Liam Dunne jumped from the plane over Moteuko, but events soon took a dramatic turn.

Mr. Dunne’s main parachute failed to open and a after a desperate struggle, he managed to release his reserve chute just 15 seconds before impact, reports the Telegraph.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr Dunne told the Daily Mail: ‘Those last 1,000 feet it was like “here we go, this is it”.

‘It wasn’t nice, but that said, it was a one in a million accident and a one in a million save.

‘Skydiving is an awesome sport, and I’ve done 4,000 jumps and never had a problem.’

What An Idiot Man Recalls When Parachute Failed

Mr. Dunne’s main parachute failed to open and a after a desperate struggle, he managed to release his reserve chute just 15 seconds before impact, reports the Telegraph.

Speaking from his hospital bed, Mr Dunne told the Daily Mail: ‘Those last 1,000 feet it was like “here we go, this is it”.

‘It wasn’t nice, but that said, it was a one in a million accident and a one in a million save.

‘Skydiving is an awesome sport, and I’ve done 4,000 jumps and never had a problem.’

He hit the ground at 35 mph, but waterlogged conditions cushioned his fall and saved his life. The Liverpool born businessman recalled the thoughts that rushed through his mind in those frantic moments.

“What an idiot” was his first instinct before thinking of his wife and children. He recalled later that he was “gutted” to be losing them and thought, “What a stupid way to orphan your kids”.

“I thought I was a goner. I was definitely very lucky. The ground was like a big sponge.

“I could wriggle my toes so I knew I hadn’t broken my spinal cord,”

Mr. Dunne’s injuries required a 10 week stay at Christchurch Hospital where a steel pin was inserted into his back. However, the experience has not put him off jumping again. The 36 year old, who owns a skydiving company, had made over 4,000 successful jumps.

“Definitely, it’s do-able. The spine will be strong enough but I may have to figure another way to land.”

The New Zealand Parachute Industry Association has launched an investigation into the incident.

According to dropzone.com, there were about 49 Skydiving related deaths last year worldwide.

In a subsequent incident, a similarly described man flashed himself to a young child. Residents became frustrated with the lack of response by local police and sprang into action when they confronted a man wearing a bandanna and matching the assailant’s description.

The man attempted to flee prompting the group to beat him with rocks. Police arrived and took the man into custody. He is 54-years-old. Despite having his face bloodied, he was not seriously injured.

The man was questioned and later released. He decided against filing assault charges saying that he understood the frustration of local residents. He also agreed to furnish police with a DNA sample so that he could be ruled out as the attacker. Residents say they have no choice but to take matters into their own hands because they police aren’t doing their job adequately.

Teen’s invention could charge cellphone in 20 seconds

“I developed a new supercapacitor, which is basically an energy storage device which can hold a lot of energy in a small amount of volume,” she told KPIX 5. The technology may also be able to speed up charging of automobile batteries, she said.

The invention is a battery based on a super-capacitor which can hold electrical charges over long periods of time and which can also be recharged in seconds, twenty to be exact. Using her device, cellphones may eventually enter an era where recharging will take seconds. Additionally, the super-capacitor can be recharged up to 10,000 times before it fails which is exactly 10x what standard cellphone batteries can handle.

The smaller size of the capacitor will certainly reduce the weight of cellphones and allow for more flexible form factors. Khare says that this device, based on nanotechnology, has the ability to be placed inside clothing or other fabrics giving it a flexibility traditional batteries do not have.

Khare said her current cellphone battery “always dies” which is a something many other people experience regularly.

According to Khare, the technology can be part of “rollup displays” and other fabrics as well. For the competition, she was able to power a light emitting diode (LED) using the battery and recharge her source within 15 to 20 seconds.

Record-setting python killed by knife-wielding Miami man (PHOTO)

The snake, a 128-pound female, began to coil its body against Leon’s leg and he asked his passengers to give him a knife from the car in order to kill the animal.

“Jason Leon’s nighttime sighting and capture of a Burmese python of more than 18 feet in length is a notable accomplishment that set a Florida record. The [commission] is grateful to him both for safely removing such a large Burmese python and for reporting its capture,” said Kristen Sommers, exotic species coordination section leader for the FFWCC.

Leon reports that he has experience in handling this type of python snake since he once kept them as pets.

After reporting his record-setting find to the Florida Wildlife Commission, Leon handed over the dead snake’s body to the University of Florida for further examination.

The length of the snake, at 18 feet and 8 inches long, surpassed the previous record for a python discovered in the Florida wilderness of 17 feet and 7 inches. The female caught and killed by Leon was not carrying any eggs. Florida officials have established a toll-free number to report python sightings.

Jessica Alba’s Street Fighter Is Just Too Cool

The term Hadouken is Japanese for “surge fist” or perhaps even “wave motion fist” which a special attack performed by the SF characters Akuma, Allen aka Soul Force, Dan Hibiki, Gouken, Kairi, Ken, Ryu, and Sean aka Hadou Burst.

If the photograph is staged correctly, the persons receiving the Hadouken get carried off as if by special effects. Alba has been posting pictures of her SF Hadouken since April on Instagram. The latest photograph shows her husband Cash Warren successfully thrusting Alba nearly two feet off the ground with a well-formed Hadouken punch.

Alba has truly been enjoying learning the art of Street Fighting in recent weeks. As for acting roles, the long awaited sequel to the 2005 Neo-Noir thriller Sin City has entered post-production. The movie is entitled “Sin City: A Dame to Die For” and will center heavily on Jessica Alba. Alba played a lesser role besides Bruce Willis in the original film.

She also has a sequel to 2010′s Machete film which also entered post-production and is called “Machete Kills”.

Image taken by the Miura Dolphins on May 16, 2013 shows 80-year-old Japanese mountaineer Yuichiro Miura (R) with his son Gota before his ascent of Mount Everest in Nepal. Miura has begun his ascent of Mount Everest, his website said, in a bid to become the oldest man to reach the roof of the world.

In 1970, he skied down a portion of Mount Everest that stands at 26,246 feet above sea-level. Miura is enjoying life to the fullest and even has addition aspirations for future journeys should he live long enough. He told reporters that if he can live until age 85, he would like to ski down Cho Oyu from an altitude of 26,906.

What makes his journey all the more remarkable is that he has endured four heart surgeries in his lifetime. Now, Miura is not trifling with his health. He has trained properly, and a heart doctor is part of the climbing team that is accompanying Miura. The doctor will monitor his health condition throughout the trip.

Police free man stuck in McDonald’s baby chair: Welcome to Internet Fame

The young man decided to squeeze himself into the baby high chair rather than sit in any of the other vacant seats.

The man, who as yet is unidentified, had allegedly been drinking prior to entering the eatery, which may explain his poor judgment in thinking he could fit his large adult posterior into a space designed for a child.

Local police officers were called to the scene after the man failed to extricate himself from the high chair after numerous attempts.

The officers provided enough leverage to pull the man from his temporary prison while other customers took videos of the proceedings that were immediately posted on the Internet.

Other than creating quite the commotion for everyone in the diner, the young man was released with any criminal charges pending. McDonald’s took a tongue in cheek attitude about the whole incident, indicating it was aware of the young man’s unusual dilemma and taking the opportunity to remind parents that the high chairs should only be used under adult supervision.

This is not the first incident where a grown up has gotten trapped in a highchair. In January of 2013, Oxfordshire firefighters rescued Serena Curtis, who managed to get herself wedged into her 3 year-old son’s highchair. Thanks to the woman’s friend Jade Dickerson, the event was captured on video.

And in March A 19 year old woman, who was drinking and partying at the time, needed help from the fire department after she became trapped in a baby’s highchair. According to ‘The Mirror’, the woman managed to get herself stuck in the highchair had to call firefighters for help.

Braxton Bielski managed to take down an 800-pound alligator measuring a little over 14 feet in length with just one shot while hunting in the Daughtrey Wildlife Management Area near Katy, Texas.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department offers only a limited number of special permits for alligator hunting every year and this was the first year that Bielski managed to obtain a permit for legal hunting.

Every hunter must also attend a two-hour orientation in order to learn the proper legal techniques for hunting the massive creatures which hide in many of the watery coves throughout its State Parks.

The alligator bagged by Bielski is thought to be between 30 and 50 years old. Its weight and size also made it a record catch for the first-time hunter. His father Troy, who is a police officer in the Houston area, accompanied him on the alligator hunt.

Troy Bielski also managed to bag a gator, although his female catch only measured a much shorter 10 feet in length. Both father and son each posed with their trophy for a photograph at day’s end.

Kirstie Alley Slams Creepy CEO Of Abercrombie & Fitch

Kirstie Alley slams retail chain Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries for his controversial remarks in a recently resurfaced 2006 Salon interview, in which he said, “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids…. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

According to the Huff Post, the actress, 62, told Entertainment Tonight,” Abercrombie clothes are for people who are cool and look a certain way and are beautiful and are thin’ and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That would make me never buy anything from Abercrombie.”

“I just heard [about] this guy from Abercrombie & Fitch today. This dude from Abercrombie & Fitch — he’s the CEO — what a [expletive]!” Alley told “Entertainment Tonight” on Tuesday.

Nor will her two kids, William True Stevenson, 20, and Lillie Price Stevenson, 18.

“He says Abercrombie clothes are for people that are cool and who look a certain way and are beautiful and who are thin and blah, blah, blah,” she continued. “He goes on and on and on. That would make me never buy anything from Abercrombie even if I was cool and thin. I got two kids in that [age] bracket that will never walk in those doors because of his view of people.”

Us Weekly notes, Alley isn’t the only celebrity to slam the store, which doesn’t carry sizes above a 10. Sophia Bush, on May 13, tweeted “Such a letdown to see that Abercrombie, a company geared toward teens, lets their CEO speak like this…”

Backlash against the company has been growing steadily since the 2006 interview resurfaced. A petition on Change.org was started to compel the store to stock larger sizes; teenage critics protested outside a Chicago Abercrombie & Fitch store on Monday, May 13; and in a viral video campaign, “#FitchTheHomeless,” filmmaker Greg Karber attempts to “re-brand” the company by giving its clothes to homeless people.
