How To

How do I get started with 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. 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.

The most common type of base jumper is called a wingsuit jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during 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. 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 small rockets shoot hot gas jets at high speeds from these packs. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. These suits are loud and heavy, however.

Some people who want to try out BASE jumping don't know what they're getting into. Make sure you fully understand the risks associated with learning BASE jumping. There are many ways that you can die from this activity, including falling off a rock, colliding with another person, or hitting an obstacle head on or upside down. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. You can avoid injury by following these safety tips before trying 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. Also, be aware of weather conditions. You should not jump when the wind blows in your face. Foggy skies can also be a problem. If you are unable to see 10ft ahead, it might be best to wait until the clouds clear. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Never, ever jump alone. Always have someone with you.
