5 most popular spots for base jumping
NEWS
You are keen for the thrill and you love to run on adrenalin? We have got something for you, that you have always been looking for: Base jumping and its most famous locations worldwide.
1. Meru Peak in Himalaya
This jump is definitely not convenient for beginners. It has only been challenged once, in 2006 by an Australian couple after a 22-day climb. With a height of 21.000 feet this is beyond any doubt, the highest jump that has ever been recorded.
2. Burj Khalifa in Dubai
Being the highest building worldwide, the Burj Khalifa is obviously a thrill for any adrenaline junkie out there. It takes about an hour to climb about 3.000 feet to reach the jump off point. There is only one catch to this adventure: it does not appear to be entirely legal.
3. Perrine Bridge in the USA
A bridge in Idaho demonstrates that it is not absolutely crucial to climb a mountain or a high building, in order to enjoy yourself and feel free. The bridge, which is measured to be about 486 feet above sea level, is the perfect sport where you can easily jump out of a driving car (Attention: this recommendation is only addressing experienced jumpers).
4. Brazils Cristo Redentor statue
This statue, which is located in Rio de Janeiro around 95 feet above sea level, belongs to the most dangerous spots of all. These short jumps are threatening, since there is absolutely no time for any mistakes during the short flight phase. Felix Baumgartner also known as Fearless Felix took the plunge in Rio in 1999.
5. Angel Falls in Venezuela
With a height of more than 3.000 feet, this waterfall is a flawless spot for anyone who is addicted to water. In order to reach the top of the highest water fall worldwide, you first need to find your way through the tropical jungle of South America. This is what nature enthusiasts and adventurers call paradise.
