Yeh, Toby, I'm aware of the Asgard thread, but this is a forum, not a club, so I took Mr Solo's post at face value, for the sake of it. Think of the children, Toby, I implore you.
One of the two Australians arrested for paragliding off Mt Thor is a friend of mine. They also did some paragliding off a hill above town after the climb and nobody, 'Inuits' or otherwise, seemed to mind. They only got nabbed as they were getting on the plane to leave.
I've no idea really of the rationale, or lack thereof, for banning BASE in the park, but given the stats I've seen on the accidents for BASE compared to other adventure sports, I could imagine a bureaucrat looking at them and just banning it outright on the spot, leaving climbing and other things in a 'we'll see what happens' box.
Industry-sponsored ambassathletes performing for film often come into conflict with officialdom - Dean Potter on Delicate Arch, Cedar Wright in Crimea etc.
