Thrill-seekers be warned: If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, jumping off the top of a cell phone tower might give you that pulse-quickening buzz you’re lusting after, but it’ll probably be cut short. A 20-year-old Wisconsin man experienced that unfortunate disappointment last week after attempting an illegal BASE jump from a Charter Communications tower, only to be snagged by a guy wire.
The man scaled the tower to a height of 300 feet before jumping off. He was apparently unable to avoid the wires below, however, and found himself hanging helplessly 50 feet off the ground.
