Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Sad deal. He’s from there and has a kid.
I didn’t realize he was from there. Was this his first time BASE jumping?

So, it didn’t say in the articles, but his name was posted in the article and I’m pretty sure he’s a local.
also not sure about BASE jumping. Looks like he’s done some sky diving before. So maybe it was just something gone wrong. Maybe his chute didn’t open. Or maybe he was wasted and fucked up.

The fucking problem was he tried basejumping from like 175 feet. What an idiot. Chute didn't even have time to work properly.

I won’t argue that. I would never do it and I have no idea what the height restrictions are. It’s just sad.

I agree. I dont have a clue about height restrictions either, but that video makes it clear he was about half the height he needed to be. Most any basejumping videos I've seen seem to be 3 or 400 feet at the least
