can anyone tell me what is safer for the first jump
an Antena or a bridge?

Although my first BASE jump was an antenna, it is not the safest. A bridge would be the safest.

no jump is "safe"

bo, listen up, life itself isnt safe, tread lightly or go balls to the wall... you still can die from a paper cut... so fk it

BRIDGE - IMHO

I'd say bridge, but there's tons more to it than that. Make sure you hook up with someone experienced, if you haven't already.

Jump which ever your MENTOR tells you to jump.

I think it depends on more than just the object. For example we have a nicely overhung A here in the UK with a huuuuuuge landing area which has seen many first jumps done safely. I have jumped a few S's with "interesting" landing areas where the potential for a f@*k up and injury was high. If you are amped up having done your first jump do you want the additional pressure of nailing a tight landing area? I'd say get a mentor and discuss objects that may be suitable to you

However that's just my £0.02, I am no expert, your mileage may vary etc

Stay safe
