Jumper survives 60-m fall
A base jumper survived a 60-meter plunge from an Australian bridge yesterday despite his parachute failing during the stunt, officials said.
The man, aged in his late 20s, injured his feet and ankles after he jumped off the EJ Whitten Bridge in Melbourne, ambulance spokesman Ray Rowe said.
