stay in bed...
how safe can a low jump be???...hmmm???

ok i'm new at thisjust want to know at what size bulidings i should look for like is 13 storys tall enough ???

If you are into jumping off 150-160 ft objects, go for it. What could go wrong?

easy...hook up with some aussies, send them out first, if the jump turns out ok...then you can jump

do you skydive?
most often, students pull higher than experienced jumpers. as they develop skills, they pull lower. BASE jumping is the same. develop skills on beginner objects and discover what YOU find comfortable. frequently there many other considerations exist beyond simply height. (rarely would any building be classified as a beginner object.)

start with taller objects and work your way down in height!

thats way to low for a newbie.. unless you just want to die..

5. Only once though and I will never do it again.

4. But you'll definitely want to use a skydiving rig.

3, and forget the same rig!

Jump out of a tree fort. That's what we like to do around these parts.

Lets make this question a sticky. I have seen it pop up so many times now.

In my sleep.
