#31 - Lonnie Bissonnette

With us this week is Lonnie Bissonnette, a BASE jumping pioneer who after suffering a nearly fatal accident that left him paralyzed, became the first person to earn a BASE number as a paraplegic, jumping all four objects in the BASE acronym (Building, Antena, Span [bridge] and Earth). He has since traveled the globe BASE jumping and became a para-bobsleigh world champion representing his home country of Canada.  ________________________________________   If you have been listening to Exit Point and enjoy what you've heard, we want to hear from you!     [email protected]  [email protected]   Exit Point is completely self-funded and there are no ads.
