In Yosemite National Park they got a cliff at the end of a road.....with an incredible view. 3200 feet straight down...

.At the end of the road to Glacier Point..Perhaps someone else can get a picture of the view there and post it.....I ain't so good at that kind of thing. Yosemite National Park is about 300 miles west of San Francisco and is one of the most beautiful places in the entire world..If you have not been there, it is an incredible place...thanks to whoever puts up a picture of Glacier Point.

It wasn't going to be fatal as the chute had plenty of air but the tangle left him unable to steer. Having jumped myself (out of a plane mind you) being able to steer is important. You want to have your LZ lined up and be heading into the wind at 200 feet or so.
