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. It is similar in nature to skydiving. You don't need a parachute and you don’t need to hold your breath until it opens.

A wingsuit jumper is the most popular type of base jumper. A wingsuit is two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers the chest, arms, and legs while the second covers the legs. The jumper wears special boots that allow him/her to stand upright 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. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.

To propel themselves higher in the air, some base jumpers use powered suits. A backpack containing batteries and an under-cloth jet pack are the two main components of powered suits. These small rockets can fire hot gas at high speed from the packs. This creates a thrust that propels the jumper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.
