BASE JUMPING
In our childhood, we climbed fences, trees, garages
and other hills and jumped to the ground. Parents
said it would pass with age, but for the base
jumpers it did not pass. This extreme sport is
skydiving from a relatively small height: a high-
rise building, a bridge and other heights. The
danger is that there is not much time to jump and
you need to have time to open the parachute.
Many extremals wait until the last and at the very
end just pull the ring. Sometimes, such heroism has
very, very sad consequences.
HISTORY OF B.A.S.E JUMPING

The development of the B.A.S.E. Jumping began in the

mid-70s of the twentieth century. Its founder is
considered to be the American Carl Benish, who made
the necessary mathematical calculations, which showed
that jumping from a stationary object, with a fairly
rapid opening of the parachute, is possible. Benish
gathered a team of like-minded people, trained and
tested the equipment.
WHY IS BASE JUMPING SO CALLED?
B.A.S.E. — is an acronym for English words:
 Building 
 Aerial 
 Stage 
 Earth 
This is a list of the main types of objects
from which jumping is performed. Athletes
are called basejumpers.
Base jumping is considered the most
dangerous type of skydiving and is currently
considered an extremely extreme sport.
