	BASE jumping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BASE jumping is significantly more dangerous than similar sports such as skydiving from aircrafts, and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport.
		Third, the BASE jumper generally has a lower airspeed than a skydiver throughout the jump, because a BASE jump starts with zero airspeed, and due to the limited altitude, a BASE jumper very seldom approaches the terminal velocity (airspeed) of a skydiver.
		BASE jumping is often featured in action movies, like the 2002 Vin Diesel film xXx where Diesel's character catapults himself off a bridge in an open-topped car, landing safely as the car crashes on the ground.

		BASE jumping from buildings and monuments is difficult, since most places have security, locked doors and other obstacles to prevent someone from climbing to the top and leaping off.

		BASE jumpers use modern ram-air parachutes (the jumpers injured on El Capitan in 1966 were using older round parachutes, which contributed to their problems).
