How To
How can I get started in Base Jumping
Base jumping, also known as free-fall parachute, is a sport that involves participants leaping from fixed objects (usually cliffs), like bridges, towers or buildings without any equipment. The participant jumps off the object and uses their parachute to land safely. This is similar to skydiving except that you don't need to use a parachute and you don't have to wait for it to open.
The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit is made of two pieces of fabric sewn together. One piece covers the chest, arms, and legs while the second covers the legs. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in flight. The jumper pulls the ankle straps tighter during descent. This causes the fabric covering his/her legs to bunch up under his/her body, creating an air pocket. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These small rockets shoot hot gas jets at high speeds from these packs. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. Make sure you fully understand the risks associated with learning BASE jumping. There are several ways to die while doing BASE jumping: you could fall off a steep cliff, hit an obstacle head-on, upside down or collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
First, practice safe BASE jumping techniques by practicing on a smaller hill. You should always take a few minutes to get comfortable with the terrain before jumping off a larger one. You should also be alert for weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. Make sure you have the proper gear. Be sure to have the right gear. Fourth, you should have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have another person watching over your back.
