BASE Jumping?
BASE jumping is defined as parachuting from a fixed object like a mountain, as opposed to from an aircraft. BASE is an acronym for Bridges, Antennas, Spans and Earth. The primary similarity between paragliding and BASE jumping is that we launch from and land on the earth. Again, Paragliding does not involve leaping off of a cliff, but simply inflating your glider over your head before you leave the ground, and then running down a gentle slope until you gain enough airspeed to become airborne.
