FAQ
Is extreme sport expensive equipment?
Yes. Extreme sports equipment can run into the thousands. Participants in extreme sports don't necessarily need to have a lot of cash.
What is the difference between parachuting and parasailing?
Para-gliding refers to flying above the ground using an attached harness and small sail. The harness allows for you to fly. The harness keeps you safe if you fall through the air.
Flying doesn't require any equipment. Simply attach your body to the sail. Then you take off. The wind pulls the sail against you as you climb in altitude. This makes it lift you.
As you glide along, your momentum keeps you moving forward. You continue to move forward with your momentum until you reach the end. You let go of the cable and you return to earth.
Once you are ready to go again, attach the sail to your body.
Parasailing continues to grow at a rapid pace. Parasailing attracted more than 1,000,000 participants in 2013. This is nearly double the amount who did it in 2008.

How To
How can I start Base Jumping?
Base jumping is also known as parachuting or free-fall. It involves jumping from fixed objects such as buildings, bridges and towers without any equipment. Jumping off an object is done by the participant. The parachute then helps them land safely. This is similar to skydiving except that you don't need to use a parachute and you don't have to wait for it to open.
The most common type of base jumper is called a wingsuit jumper. A wingsuit is made of two pieces of fabric sewn together. One piece covers the chest and arms, and the second piece covers the legs. Special boots allow the jumper to stand straight during 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. When this air pocket becomes big enough, the jumper opens his/her parachute and lands safely.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. Two main components of powered suits are a backpack with batteries and a pack that can be worn underneath the jumper's clothing. These small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits are loud and heavy, however.
BASE jumping can be a dangerous sport. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. 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 isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. These safety tips will help you avoid injury when BASE jumping.
Practice safe BASE jumping techniques starting on a small 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. Try to jump when the wind isn't 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. Make sure you have all the necessary gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. In case something goes wrong, you should ask another person to come along with you. Don't jump alone. Always have someone else watching over you.
