How To
How do I begin 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. The participant jumps off the object and uses their parachute to land safely. 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 is the most common type base jumper. A wingsuit is made of two pieces of fabric 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. 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. 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 a thrust that propels the jumper forward. However, these suits can be heavy and loud.
BASE jumping can seem intimidating to some people. If you decide to learn how to BASE jump, make sure you understand the risks involved. You could fall off a cliff or hit an obstacle upside-down or head-on. Or you could collide with another jumper. Although BASE jumping can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. You can avoid injury by following these safety tips before trying to BASE jump.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small hill. Be sure to spend a few minutes getting used to the terrain before you jump from a higher one. Pay attention to weather conditions. Try to jump when the wind isn't 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. The third thing you should do is make sure that you have all the gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have another person watching over your back.
