    Noooooope.
    I like my redundancy. I'm under a good canopy well higher than most BASE guys are jumping, and I've got time to use the backup.

    Risk balance doesn't add up for me. Glad there are people who do it and love it, though.

    If I get enough experience in this sport before I hang it up, I might try a wingsuit. So much to learn in the meantime. Not sure I'll ever get there, but there's plenty of flying to be done in normal relative work.
     
    BASE is a hell of a rush starting out, but after a bit it's just another freefall jump and you're flying a school bus for a parachute so the canopy ride isn't all that great. The wingsuit deal is pretty awesome, however I just couldn't get used to the idea of having so much movement restrained and having to deal with a malfunction, so it was only 6 wingsuit jumps for me. Currently I'm flying a powered parachute and having a blast!
