How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also called free-fall parachuting, is a sport in which participants jump from fixed objects, such as cliffs, bridges, towers, and buildings, without any equipment. 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 two pieces of fabric joined together. One piece covers the chest and arms, and the second piece covers the legs. The boots enable the jumper to stand upright while in 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. When the air pocket grows large enough, jumpers can open their parachute to land safely.
Base jumpers often use powered suits to get through the air quicker. 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 a thrust that propels the jumper forward. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. If you decide to learn how to BASE jump, make sure you understand the risks involved. There are several ways you could die doing this activity: falling off a cliff, hitting an obstacle head-on or upside down, or colliding with another jumper. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. Before you attempt to BASE jump, make sure you follow these safety tips.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Pay attention to weather conditions. You should not jump when the wind blows 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. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. A helmet, goggles, gloves and a full-suit with a harness are all essential. Fourth, ensure you have a plan. Ask someone to join you if things go wrong before you leave the ground. Finally, never jump alone. Always have someone watching over you.
