Adrenaline junkies who participate in this sport are only equipped with hand-deployed parachutes and helmets, both of which give very little protection from the trauma associated with the accelerated descent from antennas, buildings, and other tall structures. The number of lives BASE jumping claims on an annual basis might not be all that large (from 5 to 15), but if you think about how many people actually participate in this adrenaline-pumping activity you might find out that the risks are really high. But for some people, the thrill of launching themselves from the highest towers of the Earth is worth risking their lives.
