Base jumping is an extreme sport that involves jumping from fixed objects, such as buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs). Participants use a parachute to break their fall, typically deploying it shortly after jumping. The sport is known for its high risk due to the low altitude of jumps, which leaves little time for parachute deployment. Base jumpers often seek out unique locations and challenging environments to enhance their experience. Safety gear, including helmets and specialized parachutes, is essential. While thrilling, base jumping is illegal in many areas and requires careful planning and training to minimize risks.
