OK, seems that the results of the other poll show that BASE jumpers need to challenge themselves and this played a part when they started BASE jumping. So, would have started in the first place if it was risk free, or would you all be trying to land wingsuits instead....?

I never weighed in on the last one, but yes I think I would have.

I think skypuppy is dead on in noting that risk & fear aren't necessarily directly proportional.

Like others have noted, you can't beat the visuals. And you get the visuals with risk or no risk.

That is to say, I would see BASE jumping in my (admittedly) very distant future if there were no risk.

Interesting. I said I'd definitely keep doing it, but I don't think I would've started. I'd have found something to do that could kill me. But I'd still keep doing it now. Now I'm confused. I think I peed my pants.

Base jumping! I think the only reason to get into it is for the fact it's so not risk free. That's the only reason I got into it. THE RUSH!!!
