BASE jumps can be done
from objects as low 200' (AGL) to as high as 15000' (MSL), and freefalls
can exceed one minute. BASE equipment and both physical and psychological
preparation are critical to surviving the varying object dynamics. Jumpers
typically have several hundreds of parachute jumps from an airplane before
attempting to BASE jump, which is arguably the most dangerous sport in the
world.
One of the most
exciting and potentially dangerous aspects of the BASE jumping experience
is how the jumper gets to the top the exit point. This is often facilitated
through free-climbing, aid climbing, existing structure facilities, and on
occasion helicopters where support can be established. BASE also opens the
doors to some of the most exotic and beautiful locations around the globe.
Experiencing the
different cultures that play host to some of the premier jump sites is also
a priceless reward and one of the most inviting aspects of BASE.
