Suspsension is the act of piercing the body with hooks and letting it hang, for fun and recreation. BASE jumping is the act of hopping off a high place with a parachute strapped to your back. See where we're going here? Originally dreamed (nightmared?) up by Stanislav Askenov, suspension BASE jumping replaces straps with hooks and makes the actual parachuting a lot more interesting than the freefall. The jumper, Wes, spends 2:15 hanging under the canpoy from meat hooks stuck into his back. Makes you appreciate those straps a bit more, huh? Here's to Wes' kevlar shoulder skin and high threshold for pain!
