It comes as news to this base jumper that high-voltage power lines can be dangerous...
ASSOCIATED PRESS -- CASA GRANDE, Ariz. -- Authorities say a Tucson man has died after parachuting from a cell phone tower at night and hitting high-voltage power lines.
Pinal County sheriff's Lt. Tamatha Villar says 23-year-old Darrell Dunafon and two friends broke into a cell tower site about 30 miles south of Phoenix on Friday night and were parachuting off the approximately 400-foot-tall antennae.
Dunafon's parachute became tangled in nearby 12,000-volt power lines and he was shocked with a live wire.
This is why cell-phone towers have locked fences around them....so moron base jumpers can't climb the towers and kill themselves without breaking the law. I'm sure his parents are heartbroken but then, do we really need people this dumb in the gene pool?
