Extreme athletes like Felix Baumgartner have shown the way and others follow suit: whether from the statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro or Taipei 101, they jump from the highest platforms in the world and make base jumping one of the most dangerous extreme sports. In addition to transmitter masts, bridges, mountain peaks or other rocky outcrops that are used for jumping are also permitted. In order to prevent the dive into certain death, the parachute only has a few milliseconds to open, in contrast to skydiving. And yet the allure of risk outweighs fear. In search of new limits, the most intense moments of their lives await the athletes.
