3 Men Charged For Illegally BASE Jumping In National Park

When I visit a National Park, I typically like to keep my feet on the ground. Maybe I'll put my feet in some water, but that's as adventurous as I'll go. You won't catch me base jumping at a National Park. Come to think about it, you won't catch me base jumping anywhere

Unlike these very, very in-trouble individuals.

Honestly, those seem like some lenient penalties for illegal BASE jumping.

All three were convicted of BASE jumping in Yosemite, but Glacier National Park has seen its fair share of illegal BASE jumpers, too. In 2022, officials with Glacier were seeking the identity of a man who jumped from a 10,000-foot peak. On a darker note, Glacier National Park found a dead body back in 2014 from what appeared to be an illegal base jump near Mount Siyeh.

Listen, I don't always give great advice, but don't BASE jump at Glacier. Don't BASE jump in any National Park. You might die, and you might serve jail time. Just don't do it.
