THE CORRECT ANSWER: BASE jumping

BASE jumping is considered one of the most extreme jumping sports in the world. Its acronym comes from the four categories of fixed objects from which practitioners launch: Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges) and Earth (cliffs).Unlike classic skydiving which is carried out from a plane at high altitude, BASE jumping is practiced at much lower heights, generally oscillating between 100 and 1,000 meters.This low altitude leaves only a few seconds for the jumper to manually open his single parachute, thus eliminating any possibility of using a reserve parachute in the event of a malfunction. The modern origins of the sport date back to the late 1970s, notably thanks to the exploits of Carl Boenish.Due to its extreme dangerousness and high accident rate, the practice is strictly regulated or banned in many countries.
