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. To land safely, the participant must jump off the object. It's similar to skydiving but you don’t have to wear a parachute or hold your breath as you wait to open it.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. One piece covers chest and arms, while the second one covers the legs. The boots are specially designed to allow the jumper stand upright during 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. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
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 and propels the jumper ahead. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. Learn how to BASE Jump. Be aware of the risks. You can fall off a height, get hit head-on or upside-down, or collide and injure another jumper. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. 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. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. It is important to have proper gear. Fourth, have a plan. Before leaving the ground, ask someone to follow you if something goes wrong. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone to watch over you.
