world’s record highest jump – Mt. Meru
Base jumpers use “BASE” as an acronym from the fixed objects that participants choose to launch themselves from: BASE; Building, Antennae, Span, Earth that includes uninhabited towers such as an aerial mast, a bridge, arch or dome and cliff or other natural formation. The jumpers use parachutes, but they wait until the last possible moment to deploy them. BASE jumping is different from ‘Wingsuit BASE jumping’ in which a participant uses both a Wingsuit as well as a parachute.
These are some of the best or the worst sites for base jumping, depending upon what your take on it is. Base jumping can give you the most intense, incredible sense of being alive, yet it is a potentially dangerous sport and the risk is yours!
Before you go, check the BASE fatality list to see if you’ve already died on a previous jump.
