How To
What is the best way to start 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.
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 are worn by the jumper that allow him/her stand upright 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 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 small rockets fire small jets of hot-gas at high speeds. This creates thrust, which propels the jumper forward. However, these suits tend to be loud and heavy.
BASE jumping is not for everyone. It is important to understand the risks involved in BASE jumping before you attempt to learn. You can fall off a height, get hit head-on or upside-down, or collide and injure another jumper. Even though BASE jumping is not always dangerous, it can be very dangerous when done incorrectly. Before you attempt to BASE jump, make sure you follow these safety tips.
Begin by learning safe BASE jumping techniques on a smaller hill. Before jumping from a bigger hill, you should take a few moments to become familiar with the terrain. Second, watch out for weather conditions. Make sure the wind doesn't blow in your face when you jump. Also, avoid foggy skies. If you see more than 10 feet ahead of yourself, then you might need wait until the cloud clears. Make sure you have the proper gear. Make sure you have a helmet, goggles, gloves, and a full suit with a harness. Fourth, you should have a plan. Ask someone to join you if things go wrong before you leave the ground. Don't ever jump by yourself. Always have someone with you.
