How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also called free-fall parachuting, is a sport in which participants jump from fixed objects, such as cliffs, bridges, towers, and buildings, without any equipment. To land safely, the participant must jump off the object. 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.
A wingsuit is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit has two pieces of fabric, which are sewn together. One piece covers the chest and arms, and the second piece covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during flight. Jumpers tend to pull their feet up tight during descent. This causes the material that covers the legs to gather and form a large volume of air under the jumper. When this air pocket becomes big enough, the jumper opens his/her parachute and lands safely.
Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. Powered suits have two main parts: a backpack containing batteries and a jet pack worn under the jumper's clothes. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates thrust which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. BASE jumping may not be always dangerous but it can still prove dangerous if done incorrectly. Before you attempt to BASE jump, make sure you follow these safety tips.
Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. Also, be aware of weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Foggy skies should be avoided. If your vision is less than 10ft in front of you, you may need a break until the clouds clear. Third, make sure you have the right gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Don't jump alone. Always have someone with you.
