How To
How can I get started in 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. Jumping off an object is done by the participant. The parachute then helps them land safely. 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.
A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit consists of two pieces, each piece of fabric being sewn together. One piece covers your chest and arms while the other covers your legs. The boots enable the jumper to stand upright while 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. Once the air pocket has grown large enough, the jumper will open his/her parachut and land safely.
Base jumpers can use powered suits in order to accelerate their speed through the air. 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 that propels the leaper forward. However, these suits tend to be loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. Make sure you fully understand the risks associated with learning BASE jumping. You can fall off a height, get hit head-on or upside-down, or collide and injure another jumper. BASE jumping may not be always dangerous but it can still prove dangerous if done incorrectly. To avoid injury, check out the following safety tips before attempting to BASE jump.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. It is important to take some time to get used to the terrain before you attempt to jump off of a higher hill. You should also be alert for weather conditions. If the wind isn’t blowing, don’t jump. 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. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. Be sure to have the right gear. 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 else watching over you.
