Article Abstract:
The extreme sport of base jumping, in which people skydive off of fixed, tall objects, is a more than just a long fall, it is also a test of the self. For some base jumpers, the idea is to expose oneself to risk while preserving the power to control and save yourself. For others, the sport is about overcoming a challenge, and finding the courage and mental state required to make the jump.
