15 Extreme Sports You Would Have To Be Insane To Try
14. BASE JUMPING

Considered one of the most extreme sports, BASE jumping involves jumping from one object to another, using a parachute or wingsuit. The four fixed objects create the acronym; B.A.S.E. stands for Building, Antenna, Span, Earth. BASE jumping began in the 1970s and has grown considerably, drawing hundreds of athletes and tens of thousands of spectators to the annual Bridge Day at the New River Gorge Bridge. Besides their lives, extreme jumpers also risk facing fines when attempting jumps on private property.
