​BASE jumping is a sport in which participants jump from fixed objects and use a parachute to help them land safely. BASE stands for the type of objects from which people can jump: building, antenna (tower), span (bridge) and Earth (cliff). The sport was invented by Carl Boenish in the 1970s. Boenish died while BASE jumping in 1984. The sport has featured in several James Bond films.
