BASE jumping
BASE is an acronym for Building, Antennae, Span and Earth. People jump from any of the four categories wearing a flying suit or a parachute for safe landing. The extreme factor is time. The time a jumper has to open the parachute is very less. If the parachute is not deployed quickly the jumper can die on hitting the ground. Till 2006, the overall deaths were 1 out of every 6 participant. It is illegal in many countries.
