He had received permission of the French government to launch a dummy of the Eiffel Tower carrying this backpack. A tailor called Franz Reciholt had spent a lot of time designing a backpack parachute and wanted to test it. The most impressive one, for me, is the very first BASE jump ever performed. Let’s discuss some of the most noteworthy BASE jumping deaths throughout history. My own list of additional equipment includes a penknife, a torch and a trauma pack. You can, of course, choose to order your survival equipment from BASE jumping sites, but I have purchased most of my smaller items from places such as Amazon. This can be a particular problem if you are jumping off earth structures, as you could be stuck at the bottom of a cliff for quite some time before someone can come and help you. You may, for example, have a very unfortunate landing.
However, I personally feel that some survival equipment is also very important. The equipment you need for BASE jumping includes, of course, important things such as your chute and harness. It is a positive thought that the many BASE jumping fatalities have not been in vain and that important lessons have been learned to improve the safety of us daredevils! There’s a whole bunch of stuff you need for BASE jumping and much of this has come about because of the many base jumping deaths. If, as a BASE jumper, you can demonstrate that you have successfully jumped from each of these structures, you are allocated a BASE number, which is in ascending order, so you know exactly how many people before you have achieved the same thing.
E stands for Earth, so these are natural phenomena such as cliffs and mountains.B stands for Buildings – skyscrapers, tower blocks, etc.The “BASE” in BASE jumping refers to the four structures that can be used to perform BASE jumps. However, before I get to them, let me explain to you what BASE jumping actually is, besides throwing yourself of the nearest building without having suicidal tendencies. It is perhaps no surprise that there have been many base jumping deaths throughout history. BASE jumping really is only a sport for the adrenaline junkies among us. The thrill of the wind blowing through your hair as you launch yourself from a platform, with just a fraction of a second to decide when to pull your chute and where to land doesn’t compare to anything else in the world. BASE jumping is probably the most extreme of extreme sports.
