Many people enjoy seeking thrilling experiences. Certainly an argument could be made that skydiving & parachute jumping rank among the most thrilling of experiences available to average Americans. Skydiving & parachute jumping is the recreational or competitive practice of jumping from a great height and breaking the fall with a parachute. While skydiving & parachute jumping mostly involves jumping from an aircraft, some extreme sport enthusiasts practice a form of parachute jumping known as BASE jumping, in which the person jumps from a fixed object. The term BASE is an acronym for the four categories of objects commonly jumped from: bridge, antenna, span, and earth.
