whats the lowest object advanced base jumpers will jump from ? one's without a death wish that is

thanx for the answers the reason i asked 10 years after was i had no1 to ask the last 10 years as im 1 day old in this forum lol . It used to have a ladder going all the way to the ground but after the guy's jumped off of it they took down the first 30 feet or so of the ladder . I live in a new house which is closer to this factory then where i have lived the rest of my life as ive only lived here a month out on this farm and i work from home at my computer and look out the window off into the distance at it each day and always have had a facination with parachutes and thought im currently in a base jumping forum i mose well ask about it lol for now my 1 goal is just learning to sky dive and asking a lot of questions about everything . but since this is jumpable , who knows maybe 10 years time ill be a base jumper and ask the company for permission . but like i said for now i have no plans and wouldnt do anything like that unless i was very heavily experienced but its good to ask questions and thanx for the answers as i dont know how far you can glide from that hieght i couldnt really say if there was safe landing if you can glide with ya parachute 60 metre's from there chimney base there would be safe landing in open paddocks

Hi , i dont base jump but have a question i dont even sky dive but am starting my course very soon anyway there is this chimney near my house which is around 330feet high about 10 years ago when i was 11, 3 guys climbed up it to base jump 1 got scarred and come down after climbing half way up the ladder and the other jumped it was inside this big factory that they wernt meant to be in lol and the police waited for them by there cars outside and arrested them lol anyway i want to know is 330 feet only for crazy base jumpers or would most experienced base jumpers jump off that hieght ? ps: i have no plans of jumping off this so please dont rave on about i should get more experience first lol

actually think its 14 to tandem

thanx Muenkel what country are u in ? yeah i have read a lot of other posts here i read here for a few days before i signed up , after reading and seeing how diverse the experience level was here i thought its a great place to be a part of and here i am

in my country "United States of Australia" at 16 you can do a tandam with parents permission and the AFF course at 18

My questions are more like this 1 , if some1 can answer it it would be great i dont plan on buying all the sky diving equipment straight after i do the course but i am wanting to know are there any basic equipment most poeple buy like say you's were starting out and had 300$ to spend straight up , is there anything you would buy , or am i better saving more as no single item is that cheap ? as after i finish the AFF course im thinking of buying a jump suit or a helmet or somthing like that

yeah i hope i like it lol ive been wanting to do it since the day i was born i think lol when i was younger id get out a video from the video store simply because it had a skydiving scene in it lol also i used to get my dad to drive me out to the local drop zone on weekends so i could watch the sky divers landing I hope i like it as much as i want to like it im currently working out what day to book in , im thinking of next weekend

Lutz hahaahah this is only my second post here, and i havnt sky dived yet but will over the next few weeks I know i shouldnt really give an oppinion as i dont have any experience but that lutz guy is a funny idiot and i can clearly see the chord he pulls isnt the 1 that released the parachute and like some1 said surely any1 without any experience would try and steer out of the way of powerlines
