In this article you will find some advice and recommendations which might help you to avoid difficult and dangerous situations based on those observations. To put it in a different way: we get to learn from lots of other people&#8217;s mistakes as well as our own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are sure many of you already know these factors but a reminder every now and then doesn\u2019t hurt. There is a bias towards slider-up jumping here but many aspects also apply to people scared of sliders too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skydive practice&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular skydive practice<strong> <\/strong>is where we build the foundation of skills and knowledge necessary to become competent BASE jumpers. Don\u2019t be a BASE snob and sell your skydive rig. After the winter lay off get current from the plane, practice stability and canopy drills. During advanced jumps you will find yourself in situations which will require immediate corrective action to survive. The piloting aspects of jumping should be second nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Don\u2019t be a BASE snob and sell your skydive rig&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;\u2018New\u2019 is the most dangerous word in the English language and best confronted with the extra altitude and airspace of a skydive. Training is not cheating. Try out that new one piece, practice your flares, deployment drills, that new corkscrew technique, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sky gods are not immortal, achievements in one discipline and even \u2018instructor\u2019 status do not make you a professional in another. Wingsuit and monotrack piloting in particular demand dedicated preparation. Leave all your doubts at the DZ and do not take them to the mountains with you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Beware the annual trip trap<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Annual BASE trips<strong> <\/strong>are a very common way for people to make the majority of their jumps but they have 3 main drawbacks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>You start the trip uncurrent<\/li><li>You rush to get as much jumping done as possible in a limited time&nbsp;<\/li><li>You try and squeeze in that technical jump you\u2019ve been dreaming about at the end of the trip<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help to avoid becoming an August statistic by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Starting out easy and warm up<\/li><li>Don\u2019t let jump numbers and new exits be your only metric for a successful trip<\/li><li>Taper off at the end of your trip, maybe skip that last load and have a beer instead.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8131-FI-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8131-FI-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8131-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8131-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8131-FI-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8131-FI-860x484.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Our peer group is one of the biggest influences on our opinions and behaviour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose your crew wisely<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our peer group is one of the biggest influences on our opinions and behaviour. The best crews have jumpers with a good age range, experience and \u2013 importantly \u2013 an obsession with fancy dress costumes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t listen to that guy with 75 jumps you met in the Horner last night who says \u201cI saw your track yesterday and you should totally do High Ultimate with me\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find Your exit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find \u2018your exit\u2019<strong> &#8211; <\/strong>a place where you feel confident and comfortable, where you feel secure enough to do something new in a safe way. Consider the possibility to start your season and to train new techniques at that particular place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get current<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of variables to consider when BASE jumping: exit<em>, <\/em>altitude, terrain profile, flight path, alternate landing areas, influence of weather conditions, stress etc. Take your time to warm up and increase the jump difficulty gradually. No matter how experienced you are &#8211; you can still get uncurrent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8952-FI-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23022\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8952-FI-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8952-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8952-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8952-FI-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8952-FI-860x484.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Find \u2018your exit\u2019<strong> &#8211; <\/strong>a place where you feel confident and comfortable <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Make good decisions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When to push? Doing something new or technically difficult means you take extra risk. This requires reflection and preparation. Remember that we always tend to overestimate our skills (check out the Dunning\u2013Kruger effect) especially at the end of the trip or the season. Ask yourself, \u2018Am I really as good as I think I am?\u2019&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better to be down wishing you were up, than up wishing that you were down.<strong> <\/strong>A jump is like a form of teleportation, getting you back to a more comfortable environment within minutes. But sometimes you have to take the hike down, when the conditions are bad you are stacking the odds against yourself if you jump. (Read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Understanding-Sky-Dennis-Pagen\/dp\/0936310103\"><em>Understanding the Sky <\/em>by Dennis Pagen<\/a> and check the forecast better).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jump for yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is hard to define the right reasons to BASE jump but there are some obvious bad ones to avoid:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Because your friends \/ partner are BASE jumping and you don\u2019t want to be left out<\/li><li>To impress others<\/li><li>To make content for social media<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be aware of Fear<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No fear? The day you have no fear is the day you should probably stop jumping, as fear gives us the respect and focus to jump safely. BASE is not about overcoming fear but part of jumping is learning how to manage it and perform at our best even under stress.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admitting fear is often a difficult thing to do, complicated by factors like ego, culture, age and peer pressure. Don&#8217;t be ashamed to confess to yourself and others that you are afraid, we are never forced to BASE jump (unless you are being chased by armed gunmen like in Cliffhanger). If you are red-lining then you are most likely about to do something you are not prepared for. Better training and preparation will help you to manage your fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8903-FI.jpg 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> If there is doubt, then there is no doubt. Try again another day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look out for your buddies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch your co-jumpers.<strong> <\/strong>If you see another jumper behaving more nervously than usual, ask if they are ok before they get on to the exit point. Find out what disturbs them and if you can help. If there is doubt, then there is no doubt. Try again another day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have a Plan A and a Plan B<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In freefall we need to act not think. Similar to scuba divers at depth, our cognitive ability is seriously impaired<strong> <\/strong>in freefall.<strong> <\/strong>Before exit you should have a clear plan and a plan B. If something goes wrong you immediately abort to plan B. Disconnect from the line, flare and pull. Take the turn into clear air space, fly to the alternate landing area etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exit Vigilance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be present on the exit and do not distract others.<strong> <\/strong>Distraction can lead us to forget to check our gear, this can also easily happen at familiar exit points where we feel at home. Once you have checked yourself have a look at the other jumpers. Pin checks are a good thing. Do not go near the edge until you are dressed, close your arm zippers halfway in case you slip. Watch the jumpers before you and make sure everyone is accounted for afterwards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Always have a mobile phone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you have numbers for the local emergency services and the other jumpers in your crew. In remote areas it is also worth checking the signal strength before jumping to see if radios are needed. In remote mountainous areas it is common to have signals at the exit but not down in the valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Pic-1-FI.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption> Identify where you need to disconnect to have sufficient airspace\/ altitude to flare                     and deploy safely, use a clear reference point. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plan your pull zone<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identify where you need to disconnect to have sufficient airspace\/ altitude to flare and deploy safely, use a clear reference point. After finishing the line continue to fly a sufficient distance away from the terrain before deploying. Just because you don\u2019t see the mountain anymore doesn\u2019t mean a 180 with twists can\u2019t bite you. Looking down vertically is also important to see the current vertical altitude, not just the altitude you are flying towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep some altitude in reserve<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pulling low used to be a thing, luckily it went out of fashion. Every now and then you will need some extra time to find your pilot chute, clear line-twists, a jammed zip, tension knot etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use lasers, GPS and track analysis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laser range finders give us accurate exit terrain profiles that we can use to evaluate new sites. GPS loggers (such as Flysight) together with track analysis tools (such as Skyderby and BASEBeta) allow us to measure and track our flight performance. You can also overlay your flight data from one jump on to another, helping to make impartial rational decisions about site suitability.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8081-FI-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8081-FI-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8081-FI-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8081-FI-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8081-FI-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_8081-FI-860x484.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>A good BASE jump always puts a smile on one&#8217;s face \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Respect the environment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People will judge BASE as a sport on the behaviour of its participants not just its safety record.
