How To
How can I get started in Base Jumping
Base jumping (also known as free-fall parachuting) is a sport where participants jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), such as bridges, towers, buildings, etc., without any equipment attached to them. Jumping off an object is done by the participant. The parachute then helps them 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.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in flight. The jumper pulls on the straps to his/her feet to descend. This causes the material covering the legs and legs to bunch up. This creates a large air pocket underneath the jumper. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Base jumpers often use powered suits to get through the air quicker. The main components of powered suits include a backpack that contains batteries and a jacket with a jetpack. These packs have small rockets that can shoot hot gases at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
