BASE Jumping Tips

Firstly, to start base jumping requires lots of skills. You can train with sky diving. A minimum of 200 jumps from planes are compulsory for beginners. However, jumps from plane starts with a initial speed but not in base jumping ! That’s why some bungee jumps are to feel some jumps with no intial speed. It is also good to feel the vertical speed and the distance between you and the Earth. But the point is the skills you must have to control your jump and to go away from things you can hurt.

Weather is really important. Jumping with a bad weather is too dangerous. Wind can lead you to the thing  you have jumped from which can make a lethal impact.

Equipment is also really important. The “extractor” is the thing which will eject the parachute from your backpack. Its diameter must be different for each kind of jumps. You can see every use in this next picture:

It is always good to jump with somebody just in case there is any trouble. Also, it is recommended for baginners to start base jumping with an instructor or a godfather.

The most important thing to know is how to fold your sail. It is different for every equipment you use. But the point is that you MUST do it perfectly every time or the parachute opening can be bad. And a bad opening lead you to a way you did not want to go, or to an impact on something.

So don’t forget this: BASE Jumping is a really dangerous sport. You need lots of skills to make it less dangerous.

Good Jump !
