What is BASE Jumping?
Club Admin·12 September 2026
Building, Antenna, Span, Earth — the four categories of fixed-object jumps and what makes BASE distinct from skydiving.
BASE jumping is an extreme sport where athletes jump from fixed objects and use a parachute to descend safely.
The word BASE is an acronym for the four categories of structures used:
• B — Building
• A — Antenna
• S — Span (bridges)
• E — Earth (cliffs and natural formations)
BASE jumping typically involves lower altitudes than skydiving, requiring faster reflexes, specialized parachute systems, and highly trained athletes. The sport demands precision, technical skill, and deep knowledge of wind, weather, gear, and body control.
In Malaysia, legal BASE jumps take place only through organized events with permits — not from random buildings. Always verify events on this website and register officially.
