Summary

Jumping from a long way up is incredibly dangerous. That's why BASE jumping is a sport saved for the experts. These amazing athletes take leaps from fixed places like antennas and bridges and feel the wind through their hair before using safety equipment like parachutes to make it back to Earth without harm. Sometimes these daredevils will don wingsuits and actually fly while they fall back to earth. Full-color photographs and riveting text capture this sport up close and personal and take readers into the skies
