May 31, 200620 yr Woman Dies in BASE Jump From Idaho Bridge The Associated Press Monday, May 29, 2006; 10:50 PM BOISE, Idaho -- A California woman died Monday after her parachute failed to deploy during a 486-foot leap from a bridge that is the among world's most popular BASE jumping locations. The 34-year-old woman is the third person to die since 2002 after jumping from the Perrine Bridge over the Snake River on U.S. Highway 93 near Twin Falls. More than 5,000 jumps are made annually from the bridge, the only location in the U.S. where BASE jumpers _ short for the buildings, antennae, spans and earth from which participants leap _ aren't required to get a special permit for year-round jumps. It was the fourth accident at the bridge in as many days. Three people have been taken to hospitals after separate jumps. One is still on critical care, a hospital spokeswoman said.
