BASE jumping involves jumping from fixed structures like buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs).

Modern Base Jumping originated in the United States in the 1970s, with pioneers like Carl Boenish and Phil Smith.

A minimum altitude of 2,000 feet (610 meters) is generally considered necessary for a safe Base Jump.

Base Jumpers typically reach speeds of around 120 mph (193 km/h) during freefall.

The drogue parachute is deployed first to slow down the jumper's descent and provide stability before deploying the main parachute.

Tree Jumping is not a common type of Base Jumping due to the high risk of entanglement and injury.

A Dynamic Jump is a Base Jump performed from a moving object, such as a helicopter or a hot air balloon.

The minimum age requirement for Base Jumping in most countries is 18 years.

Wingsuits are not commonly used in Base Jumping due to the limited space and the need for precise maneuvers.

The height of the jump is the primary factor that determines its difficulty, as it affects the time available for deployment and maneuvering.

Caves are not common Base Jumping locations due to the lack of suitable jumping points and the risk of hitting obstacles.

A Formation Jump is a Base Jump performed by multiple jumpers who coordinate their movements in the air.

Rogallo Wings are not commonly used in Base Jumping due to their limited maneuverability and higher risk of entanglement.

The primary purpose of a Base Jumping helmet is to protect the jumper's head from impact during landing or in case of a collision.

Static Line Training is not commonly used in Base Jumping as it involves jumping from a fixed point with a parachute attached, which is not representative of actual Base Jumping conditions.
