If you've ever BASE jumped: What's it like and is it worth the cost and the risk?

BASE jumping is jumping from these. I think you will find that all but the last are illegal activities. So no-one will admit doing that kind of thing except to their friends, or other BASE jumpers.
Exception: one day per year when it is permissible and celebrated to jump from the bridge over the New River Gorge in West Virginia.
A true BASE jumper has completed jumps from all 4. It is not any more expensive than other parachuting, but extremely dangerous and legally risky. NOT for inexperienced parachutists.

yes i know what base jumping is. I think sky diving would be a bit safer. Base jumping is less safe because you have less time to pull the chute, because you are not up as high as you would be if you jumped from a plane. never done either not worth the risk to me.

I have never done it but I do know what it is. base jumping is when a person using a modified parachute that is made to open at much shorter distances leaps off of different structures or land formations.

No, no & yes I know what it is. Base jumping like many other extreme sports are for those who hate life & will never be happy till that empty hole of being born is filled with death. I cherish life so extreme to me is to face the future.
