How dangerous is base jumping? What is the % chance of dying per jump?

Answer 1

Your chances are depending on the parachute, who packs it, and how experienced they are at packing it, also, the variables on the "jump".

Each jump increases your chances of dying.

Something about old and bold pilots, but there are no bold and old pilots, well, to base jumping, the more dangerous you are, the less likely hood that your going to survive a lot of jumps if something is against you, like not enough altitude, wind catches you in the wrong way, (the eddies, currents, updrafts, down drafts and so forth), plus, do you parasail or use a balloon chute, also, how far your up and your abilities.

Each jump is a challenge. Getting far enough away is the biggest challenge because of downdrafts that can occur around the base of a "hot rock" if your jumping from a plateau, or bridge, or any thing.

I applaud your sense of adventure, but, alas, its not for me :)

I wish you well..
