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. 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 has two pieces of fabric, which are sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in 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. The jumper can open his/her parachute if the air pocket is large enough and land safely.
Base jumpers often use powered suits to get through the air quicker. Powered suits have two main parts: a backpack containing batteries and a jet pack worn under the jumper's clothes. These packs contain small rockets that shoot jets of hot gas at high speeds. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. You need to be aware of the dangers involved in learning how to BASE jump. You can fall off a height, get hit head-on or upside-down, or collide and injure another jumper. BASE jumping, while not always dangerous is dangerous. However, it can be very dangerous if done improperly. 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. Second, watch out for weather conditions. Avoid jumping when the wind is not blowing in your face. Foggy skies are another danger. If you can see more then 10ft ahead of you, you may need to wait for the clouds to clear. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. Be sure to have the right gear. Fourth, you should have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Never, ever jump alone. Always have someone watching over you.
