INDEX — The body of a New Jersey man was recovered after he suffered fatal injuries in a BASE jumping accident on a Washington state mountain, authorities said.
Witnesses saw two men BASE jump from a cliff on Baring Mountain around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, The Everett Herald reported.
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office said the body of a 23-year-old man was recovered the next day on the mountain about 11 miles southeast of Index.
BASE jumping stands for building, antenna, span and earth — the four common objects from which BASE jumpers launch a descent using parachutes.
