MATFIELD GREEN — Friends are mourning an eastern Kansas man who died in a leap from a 393-foot communication tower when his parachute failed to open in time.

The Emporia Gazette reported a funeral is scheduled in Topeka for 50-year-old Frank Hubbell on Saturday, one week after his death.

Chase County Sheriff Richard Dorneker said Hubbell, of Tecumseh, died at the scene from the trauma of the impact. The accident happened in a rural area about seven miles east of Matfield Green.

Hubbell's brother, Bill Hubbell, told The Gazette his brother enjoyed the sport of BASE jumping and had done about 150 jumps. BASE stands for Building, Antennae, Span, Earth.

The sheriff said he was not aware of any other instance of someone jumping from the tower.

Wingsuiting From Grepon to Chamonix - What Would Walewydoo ?

3 arrogant and useless frenchmen stealing one cool jump in the new Chamonix mecca for wingsuit big mountain roller coasting hoolahoopa glacier riding !
How ? By foot from the valley, with no jumars, no help, no slaves, just our 6 shoulders
When ? At night when everybody else is sleeping
Why ? Because we have work and children during the day, so the only free time we have is during night (when we are not with hot girls)
Where ? On the top of Grépon, one of the longest access for a BASE Jump, but only 2400m down in wing suit (Pussy jump)
Walewydoo ? That is the question, how would you do it ?
Music : Jamendo is full of shit music, but you still find some good ones : Dope Stars Inc, Zoe Leela and Rontgenschall have good riffs.
Friends :
Mountain Hardwear and Vibram for the way up
Adrenalin Base, Yacouba for the way down.
Julbo, sorry at night we had no glasses :)
Don't forget to have fun out there ! Life is a big joke !
