I do not BASE jump yet but I am a PA whose specialty is Spine surgery and the replies so far are right on the money. Exactly what I tell my patients when they ask what they can do post-op after approx. 4-6 months. It is most important that you let your spine fuse where operated upon before subjecting it to any significant forces. The hardware placed in your spine serves the same function as a cast on a broken leg. It stabilizes the bones so they can fuse. If you do not fuse it is very likely that the hardware will eventually break leaving you with pain and other problems.
