NOTE: The above data is basic and can vary for each jumper. This chart was obtained from a US BASE gear manufacturer. Variances in mass, drag, body position, or other factors can affect this data. In determining the length of your freefall, you might find it helpful to accurately calculate the height of your object with the use of an altimeter watch or an antenna light sequence chart. Then, contact another experienced BASE jumper to learn what you can and cannot do in the sport of BASE jumping.
