BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of objects from which one can jump:
- (B)uilding
- (A)ntenna (an uninhabited tower such as an aerial mast)
- (S)pan (a bridge, arch or dome)
- (E)arth (a cliff or other natural formation)
BASE jumping is significantly more dangerous than skydiving from aircraft and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport.
History
There are isolated examples of BASE jumps dating from the early 1900s. More on [ BASE jumping ]
