A third base jumper hurt in Sibu event

Ben Gingold, 25, of the United Kingdom suffers cuts after landing on roof of a pedestrian walkway.

Ben-GingoldSIBU: Members of the public who flocked to Dataran Bandar Sibu to witness the 2017 Sibu Base Jump show were shocked when a diver missed the landing spot during the performance at noon today.

Ben Gingold, 25, of United Kingdom, landed on the roof of a pedestrian walkway near Wisma Sanyan from a platform 126 metres from the ground.

The victim, who sustained cuts on the right hand, was brought down by firemen and the Civil Defence Force as well as other divers.

He was brought to a special treatment room before being sent to Sibu Hospital.

The event was held in conjunction with 2017 Visit Sibu Year organised by the Sibu Divisional Tourism Task Group with the participation of 90 domestic and foreign jumpers.

In a test jump last Friday, Australian jumper Gary Favre, 42, was injured on the legs after he struck a glass window on the 15th floor of Wisma Sanyan.

Yesterday, Canadian jumper Braden Dean, 31, suffered a back injury when he landed badly at the square.
