BASE jumping refers to the four general types of structures from which people jump: Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges) and Earth (cliffs).
It's a dangerous sport, and I am not an expert, but safety is paramount.
Suggested rules therefore include:
- get formal instruction / tutoring before attempting your first dive
- know your equipment and always check it before your jump
- only attempting jumps you have fully prepared for
- tell people you know of your plans before you jump
- always come prepared for the weather
