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.
