How To

How do I get started with 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. 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.

A wingsuit-type base jumper, is the most commonly used. A wingsuit is made of two pieces of fabric sewn together. One piece covers chest and arms, while the second one covers the legs. The boots enable the jumper to stand upright while 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. 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. A backpack containing batteries and an under-cloth jet pack are the two main components of powered suits. These packs have small rockets that can shoot hot gases at high speeds. This creates thrust which propels the jumper forward. These suits can be noisy and heavy.

BASE jumping can seem intimidating to some people. 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. Although BASE jumping isn't always dangerous, it can prove very dangerous if done incorrectly. Be sure to follow the safety tips below before you attempt to BASE Jump.

Start by practicing safe BASE jumping techniques at a lower hill. Always take time to familiarize yourself with the terrain before jumping onto a larger hill. 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. You should also ensure you have the correct gear. You should have a helmet, goggles and gloves as well as a complete suit including a harness. Fourth, be sure to have a plan. Ask someone to join you if things go wrong before you leave the ground. Never jump by yourself. Always have someone watching over you.
