Fire crews rescued an injured BASE jumper from Clear Creek Canyon on Sunday after he was thrown into a cliffside during his descent. Around 6:09 p.m. Sunday, fire crews from Foothills Fire & Rescue and the Golden Fire Department responded to a call from the injured man inside the canyon, according to Golden’s Deputy Chief of Operations Sean Jones. BASE jumping is similar to skydiving and involves people jumping from high buildings, bridges and cliffs with parachutes.
