极限跳伞的总死亡率估计为每60名参与者就会有一人死亡。它在全球性的休闲活动中是伤亡风险最大的一项运动，危险度比从飞机上跳伞高43倍。

The name "BASE jumping" is an acronym for the four types of objects that jumpers leap from: Buildings (or monuments), Antennas, Spans (Bridges), Earth. Antenna towers are popular jumping points because they are often as tall as the world's tallest buildings, but easier to climb and have less security. Spans, or bridges, have to cross over large canyons or gorges to be suitable for a BASE jump. Earth refers to large natural formations that are suitable for BASE jumping: cliffs, canyons, fjords and gorges.

极限跳伞的名称代表了四种参与者跃出的地点类型：建筑物（或古迹），天线，横跨物（桥梁），大地。天线塔是最受欢迎的跳跃点，因为它们往往和世界上最高的建筑物一样高，但更容易攀登，而且保安不那么严格。横跨物或是桥梁，要跨越大峡谷或山谷才适合作为极限跳伞的场所。大地是指大的适合极限跳伞的自然地形：峭壁，峡谷，海湾和山谷。
