MENOMONIE, WI — A BASE jumper who jumped illegally from a northwestern Wisconsin cellphone tower ended up calling the police on himself after his parachute became caught on a guy wire, leaving him dangling perilously 50 feet from the ground.
Police say the 20-year-old man jumped from the 300-foot Charter Communications tower in Menomonie on Thursday morning.
After his rescue around 9:30 a.m., the man was treated at Mayo Clinic Health System and arrested for criminal trespass.
BASE jumping stands for building, antenna, span and earth — the four common objects from which BASE jumpers launch their descent.
