How To
How do I get started with 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 is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. One piece covers the chest, arms, and legs while the second covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during 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.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. 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 that propels the leaper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. 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. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
You can start by learning BASE jumping skills on a smaller hill. Be sure to spend a few minutes getting used to the terrain before you jump from a higher one. Second, watch out for weather conditions. Avoid jumping when the wind is not blowing in your face. Also, be careful of foggy skies; if you can see more than 10ft ahead of yourself, you might need to wait until the clouds clear. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Finally, never jump alone. Always have someone with you.
