On October 22, 1999, 60-year-old expert parachutist Jan Davis took part in a protest jump from Yosemite’s El Capitan—breaking National Park rules banning BASE jumping. She used borrowed gear to avoid confiscation of her own, but the ripcord was in an unfamiliar position. Mid-fall, she reached for her usual spot—but it wasn’t there.

@disturbing.tapes on Instagram: "On October 22, 1999, veteran BASE jumper Jan Davis climbed to the summit of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park to take part in a protest against the park’s ban on BASE jumping. The goal was simple: demonstrate that the jumps could be performed safely. One by one, several jumpers launched themselves from the cliff, landing without incident as crowds and media looked on from below. Jan Davis was the fourth to jump.
