A BASE jumper is an individual who participates in the sport of jumping from fixed objects, using a parachute to safely land. The term "BASE" is an acronym that stands for four categories of jump sites: Buildings, Antennae, Spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs). BASE jumping is considered more dangerous than traditional skydiving due to lower altitudes and less time to deploy the parachute. BASE jumping requires specialized training and equipment, including a parachute designed for quick deployment. Jumpers often scout locations to ensure safety and legality, as many jumps occur in remote or restricted areas. The sport has a dedicated community, with enthusiasts sharing experiences and techniques to improve safety and performance.
