BASE jumping is a high-risk sport where participants jump from fixed structures like towers using parachutes. A study found 1 in every 60 BASE jumpers dies while participating. It differs from skydiving in that jumpers have only seconds to deploy their parachutes from much lower altitudes of around 110 feet. Due to the risks of impact with surfaces and low margins of error, BASE jumping results in many deaths and requires daring participants.

A British Journal of Sport Medicine found that one person in every sixty participant dies doing BASE jumping.
So, Do you know what is BASE jumping? BASE jumping is
a sport like parachuting but jumping from a fixed structure such as towers. However, there are quite a few place to do BASE jumping legally. Base jumpers want their sport to maintain a secretive because letting too many people can make harder to carry out illegals jumps, authorities will be on guard.
Lot of people think that BASE jumping is Skydive, but
thats not true. The differences are that once they jump they have a few seconds to deploy the parachutes and, if their parachute doesnt open they dont have another because you havent got more time. In skydiving they jump from a safe altitude of between 10.000 and 13.000 foots, in BASE jumping the lowest record was for about 110 foots. Speed is less in BASE jumping because they dont have much time and they have a less aerodynamic.
I think that this sport is very risky, there are a lot of
deaths by impact with the land, wall and mountains, you can jump with a wingsuit form of bird or just the suit of parachute ,you have to be a daring person. I would love to do skydiving but I would not do BASE jumping.
