      Most don't actually, the vast majority continue to jump very frequently free of any incidents at all. You can do the math quite simply using the base fatality website vs. the total number of jumpers world wide. It's a very small minority of unfortunate people that either make a bad decision or miscalculation. There 10's of thousands of jumpers world wide and only 469 fatalities to date so far. It's a shame the world focuses on only the fatalities when there literally 100's of thousands of successful jumps evety year.

      @@cursory9031 Do you mean a secondary parachute? They all have only one parachute. Typically base jumping accidents don't occure from parachute malfunction, they occur from bad decision making, like flying too low into terrain without enough speed or jumping difficult cliffs without enough experience.
      If a parachute malfunctions, the person didn't pack it properly or they didn't use it properly. People quite often pull too low in panic or pull too close to a cliff while off balance causing line twists and off heading openings. Parachutes don't mysteriously malfunction, they are very, very basic peices of equipment.
      If someone ties their shoe laces and they come undone then they trip over them, do you call it a shoe malfunction or do you blame them for not tying them properly?
      P.S. I have been jumping for 14 years. It isn't luck.

      The memorial stone at Troll Wall have 50-50 with rock climbers and BASE jumpers on it. The introduction of wingsuit have made BASE jumps off cliffs safer. BASE jumping in Troll Wall was banned in 1987. We have considered lifting this ban, but the ban stay because Troll Wall is a no-fly zone for helicopters. You are allowed to jump elsewhere, there is a helicopter on standby for rescue. However, they not allowed to fly near Troll Wall because of the constant rock fall there.

      That is an incredibly inacurate statistic. There have only been 469 fatalities in total and 100's of thousands of jumps. I personally know jumpers with over 4000 jumps that are still flying. I have been flying wingsuits from mountains since 2010, I don't keep track of my jumps.

      Tiny light droplets of water get slowed down pretty hard when falling (like throwing a ping-pong ball VS a tennis ball). A human falls much faster. A quick Google says a wingsuit can manage to slow down a fall to only slightly faster than falling water.

      we are not « adrenaline junkies », the adrenaline shoot came with the first jumps, when you learn. When I jump and fly, I don’t have this adrenaline shot, I (we) just love being in the air and fly by our own. BASE its dangerous, yep everybody knows, but it dépends of you practice (experience, self assessment of your capabilities, commitment,…). There is a large part of « old » base jumpers who have been doing this for 10-15-20 years and still doing it. For the stat, number of practicing have significantly increased, so accident too. But coaching makes the sport more responsible
