How To
How do I get started with Base Jumping?
Base jumping, also known as free-fall parachute, is a sport that involves participants leaping from fixed objects (usually cliffs), like bridges, towers or buildings without any equipment. The participant uses their parachute safely to land from the object. It is similar to skydiving, except that there is no requirement to wear a parachute, nor do you have to hold your breath while waiting to open it.
The most common type is a wingsuit jumping suit. A wingsuit is composed of two pieces of fabric that are sewn together. The chest, arms and legs are covered by one piece and the legs by the other. Special boots are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright in flight. Jumpers tend to pull their feet up tight during descent. This causes the material that covers the legs to gather and form a large volume of air under the jumper. This air pocket will grow large enough to allow the jumper to open his/her parachute, and safely land.
Some base jumpers use powered suits to help propel themselves through the air faster. The two main components to powered suits are a backpack filled with batteries and a undercloth that houses a jetpack. These small rockets can fire hot gas at high speed from the packs. This creates thrust and propels the jumper ahead. These suits can be quite loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is a sport that many people don't understand. You need to be aware of the dangers involved in learning how to BASE jump. 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 can be dangerous in some cases, it can also prove to be extremely dangerous if done wrong. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.
You can start by learning BASE jumping skills on a smaller hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. Pay attention to weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you 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. Make sure you have the proper gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, make sure you have a plan. If something goes wrong, ask someone to help you. Finally, never jump alone. Always have someone with you.
