BASE Jumping

In the Air

BASE jumping is an extreme sport in which people jump from fixed objects like buildings, cliffs, bridges, or antennas. After jumping, they experience a short but intense freefall before opening their parachute to slow down. Known for its high risk and thrilling experience, BASE jumping is done from lower altitudes compared to regular skydiving. It appeals to those seeking an adrenaline rush and a unique challenge.
