One of the most dangerous sports recognized in the Guinness World Records is "Base Jumping," which involves parachuting from fixed objects like cliffs or buildings. This extreme sport originated in the 1970s as a spin-off of skydiving, and its practitioners face significant risks due to the low altitudes and unpredictable conditions. Base jumpers often use specialized parachutes and carefully select their jumping spots to minimize hazards, but the sport is notorious for its high fatality rate, with many jumpers suffering from severe injuries or worse. Despite its dangers, base jumping continues to attract thrill-seekers drawn to the exhilarating rush of free-falling from incredible heights, making it a unique blend of adventure, skill, and risk.
