What is the most dangerous sport?

Based on fatality rates and the severity of injuries, BASE jumping is often considered the most dangerous sport in the world.

BASE jumping involves leaping from fixed objects, such as Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges), and Earth (cliffs), using a parachute to break the fall. The low altitude of these jumps leaves very little margin for error.

Here's why it's so dangerous:

• Low Altitude: Jumpers have very little time to react to problems or deploy their parachutes. This is discussed further in https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Low%20Altitude
• Proximity to Objects: The risk of colliding with the object being jumped from is high, especially in windy conditions. More info about this topic is in https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Proximity%20to%20Objects
• Equipment Malfunctions: Parachute malfunctions can be catastrophic at such low altitudes. An evaluation of this important subject is available at https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Equipment%20Malfunctions
• Environmental Factors: Wind conditions, weather changes, and the terrain below can all significantly impact the jump. A detailed report can be found at https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Environmental%20Factors

While other sports like free solo climbing (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Free%20Solo%20Climbing) and wingsuit flying (https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Wingsuit%20Flying) are also extremely dangerous, BASE jumping consistently ranks as one of the deadliest due to the factors mentioned above.
