2. Base Jumping
It is considered an ‘extreme sports’ often mocked as ‘attempting suicide’! The participants (with perfectly sane minds) deliberately throw themselves off of a high place like building, Spans, Antenna or cliff. They use a parachute to break their fall and land safely on the ground. ‘Safe’ is but a word, for when nature breaks wind the jumper is often send slamming into the near-by rock or such other structures. Every year around 5 to 15 people die participating in this deadly sports. The ‘BASE Fatality List’ published in 2014 has recorded 230 deaths since 1981. No wonder this is sport is illegal in many countries.
