Most BASE jumps in 24 hours

What to remember

One bridge was all Daniel Schilling needed: the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho. On July 8, 2006, he jumped from it 201 times in 24 hours, the record for BASE jumps in a single day.

BASE is an acronym for the four kinds of fixed objects people jump from: buildings, antennas, spans such as bridges, and earth, meaning cliffs. A bridge therefore falls under the "S".

Unlike skydiving from an aircraft, a BASE jump starts from a fixed object, usually at a much lower altitude, and the jumper carries only one parachute, opened after an optional freefall. Schilling repeated that 201 times without ever changing his launch point.
