How To

What is the best way to start base jumping?

Base jumping (also called free-fall Parachuting) allows participants to jump from fixed objects (usually cliffs), including bridges, towers and buildings, with no equipment attached. To safely land, the participant jumps from the object. The process is very similar to skydiving. However, you do not need to wear a parachutee and don't have hold your breath while waiting for the parachute to open.

The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit has two pieces of fabric, which are sewn together. One piece covers the chest, arms, and legs while the second covers the legs. The boots enable the jumper to stand upright while in flight. During descent, the jumper pulls the straps attached to his/her feet tight, which causes the material covering the legs to bunch up, creating a large pocket of air underneath the jumper's body. This air pocket will grow large enough to allow the jumper to open his/her parachute, and safely land.

Base jumpers may use powered suits to propel themselves faster through the air. A backpack containing batteries and an under-cloth jet pack are the two main components of powered suits. 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 quite loud and heavy.

BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. 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. BASE jumping, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.

Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. You should always take a few minutes to get comfortable with the terrain before jumping off a larger one. Pay attention to weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't blowing in your face. 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. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, have a plan. For any problems, have someone else follow you. Never, ever jump alone. Always have another person watching over your back.
