=== Low BASE jumps ===
Low BASE jumps are those where the jumper does not reach terminal velocity. Sometimes referred to as "slider down" jumps because they are typically performed without a [[Slider (parachuting)|slider]] reefing device on the parachute. The lack of a slider enables the parachute to open more quickly. Other techniques for low BASE jumps include the use of a [[static line]], direct bag, or P.C.A. (pilot chute assist). These devices form an attachment between the parachute and the jump platform, which stretches out the parachute and suspension lines as the jumper falls, before separating and allowing the parachute to inflate. This enables the very lowest jumps—below {{convert|60|m}} to be made. It is common in the UK to jump from around the {{convert|150|ft|-1|disp=flip}} mark, due to the number of low cliffs at this height. Base jumpers have been known to jump from objects as low as {{convert|100|ft|-1|disp=flip}}, which leaves little to no canopy time and requires an immediate flare to land safely.
