About BASE Jumping
Base jumping consists of jumping off of high fixed objects with a packed parachute. B.A.S.E. is an acronym for the four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and earth (cliff). Base jumping is considered a fringe sport and is more dangerous than similar sports like skydiving out of an airplane.
BASE Jumping History
Base jumping was the invention of filmmaker Carl Boenish, his wife Jean Boenish, and friends Phil Smith, and Phil Mayfield. Boenish filmed the first base jump in 1978 in Yosemite National Park. Although there were documented base jumps prior to Boenish, most jumps were only attempted once and done illegally. After 1978, specific jumps started to be repeated, and base jumping became a true recreational activity. In the eighties, base jumpers used ordinary sky diving equipment for jumps. Later on specialized base jumping equipment was created that catered to the specific needs of base jumpers. The surge of interest in extreme sports in the 1990's led to a rise in base jumpers. The 1000th application for base jumping level certification was registered in 2005.
BASE Jumping Tips
As base jumping is a dangerous sport that can easily kill and injure participants, one should seek out proper training and mentoring before attempting a jump.
