BASE jumping is the recreational sport of jumping from fixed objects, using a parachute to descend safely to the ground. “BASE” is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennæ (referring to radio masts), spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs).
Most nonfatal accidents were related to ankle sprains/fracture, minor head concussion, or a bruised knee. Conclusion: BASE jumping appears to hold a five- to eightfold increased risk of injury or death compared with that of skydiving.
