Carl Boenish, who is considered father of modern base jumping, died while performing a base jump next day after marking his name in Guinness World Records. 'Sunshine Superman'[1] a documentary made on his life and death is worth watching.

If you like this, I highly recommend Sunshine Superman http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1322313/
It's a documentary about Carl Boenish and the history of BASE jumping, which is closely related to some of the events and places portrayed in Valley Uprising.
Good documentary on this topic out now: Sunshine Superman
