Why Are So Many BASE Jumpers Dying?

Why Are So Many BASE Jumpers Dying?

In researching 2016's dramatic rise in BASE jumping deaths, I was almost unable to keep up with the pace with which people were dying. I even watched one of these deaths in real time, live-streamed on Facebook. A guy with the handle of "Sat Dex" popped up in my feed on the morning of August 26, broadcasting himself via Facebook Live.

    This stuff is deep within us all.

    Speak for yourself, article writer! I have no desire to fly, not even in dreams.

      Heights terrify me. Even being on the second floor of the mall makes me woozy.

    I definitely see the appeal and the desire to get to the end goal quickly. Hopefully more people will find a way to progress that includes practice and education as well as excitement.
