BASE Jumping
Often considered a “suicidal sport,” it is obviously dangerous for many reasons. High buildings, different landmarks, and dangerous location jumps, are some of the things which make this sport extremely dangerous. With the right training, the landing is actually the safest part, as long as you use your brakes correctly.
With a parachute being the only safety measure in place, one false move or mistake can prove to be fatal, especially for those who have never engaged in this type of sport. It is recommended that those who are trying BASE jumping for the first time should use a parachute that includes an emergency ‘chute with an attached altimeter.
