i have been trying to find the name of this style, jumping over a deployed chute.
looks a bit mad! im just a paraglider so dont know much about base launching

This tecnique is called "happy wrappy snappy" and is a very known launch tecnique among base jumpers.

ta, i just googled that and google came up zero. is there a conventional name?
any links about this style of jumping would be nice thanks

It's called the "drunkover"

Its called a 'rollover' as you roll over the canopy

thanks, i wonder if i can get away with it on my arcus swing

Only works if you sexually assault someone after the jump

From what I recall, the first person to ever do this was not a BASE jumper per se but a paraglider pilot on a paragliding wing making a BASE jump from a bridge.

Could be wrong though....

Also commonly referred to as a "McConkey" after the late, great Shane McConkey.

This kind of exit seems to be possible with paragliding wings as well. I had a paraglider jump from our balloon this way. Looks far more scary than with a BASE rig but seems to work.
