Richard Henriksen, a Norwegian surgeon and experienced 20 year BASE jumper, just escaped death when an acrobatic stunt went awry and he fell nearly 4000 feet. The jump, filmed by a Norwegian TV show, “Normal Madness” was to begin by swinging from a high bar on a cliff’s edge, but the bolts loosened and the rod cracked while Henriksen added an acrobatic twist. Onlookers were certain that Henriksen had died, but amazingly he survived by opening his parachute just in time and avoiding the passing high bar rod that flew just feet away. Henriksen said, “It dawned on me that my five children could have been without a dad.”

理查德·汉利森是挪威的一个外科医生，已经经历了20年的基本跳投；他在最近的一个杂技表演中出错并从近4000英尺的地方掉下来，但是他逃脱了死亡。被挪威电视台节目“正常的疯狂”拍摄的这一次跳投，是从悬崖边上摆放的一个高杠开始的；但是当汉利森添加了一个杂技捻之后，螺栓很松，杆也破裂了。旁观者都断定他已经死了，但是令人惊讶的是，他靠及时打开降落伞，躲过了仅仅几英尺之外的高杠杆而活下来了。汉利森说：“我突然意识到，我的五个孩子差点就没有父亲了。”
