five base-jumpers threw themselves off 200ft church spire

Posted: 04 Jun 2014 05:43 PM PDT

Heart-stopping moment five base-jumpers threw themselves off 200ft church spire before landing in tiny market place

  • Group jumped from a parish church spire in Newark, Nottinghamshire
  • They used hand-held cameras to film themselves doing the 200ft jump
  • The film shows base jumping at its hardest because of the low height
  • Police said the move was 'dangerous' and have launched investigation

This is the incredible moment that a mystery group of parachutists launched themselves off the top of a church spire - and landed in a market place just 210ft below.
The five daredevils, some of whom came from as far as Wales, jumped from the spire at Newark Parish Church, Nottinghamshire, after weeks of planning the elaborate stunt.

And the jumpers - who have all been jumping for at least five years - even used cameras to film the scene as they plunged down to the square below in the middle of the night.








A mystery group of parachutists launched themselves from the Newark church spire in Nottinghamshire - which is just 200ft high - and landed in a tiny market place


This sort of jump is known as a base jump, which involves jumping from a standing object, rather than from an aircraft.
The acronym stands for building, antenna, span and earth - the four places from which a base jumper can leap.
As with the more traditional jumps, the participant uses a parachute to break their fall.

Police have criticised the 'dangerous' jump and have now launched an investigation.
But one of the parachutists, who did not want to give his name, said the group spent two weeks analysing the area to ensure they jumped at a safe time.
He said: 'This was BASE jumping at its most difficult because the height was very low and it was very technical.

The five jumpers said they spent two weeks analysing the town, including what time the pubs closed, to ensure the jump took place at the safest time







The jumpers filmed the move - which took place in the middle of the night - on hand-held and helmet-mounted cameras







One of the jumpers, who has not been named, said the view from the top of the spire, looking down onto the market place, was 'fantastic'






The 200ft jump was said to be on the of most technical BASE jumps - which involves jumping off a static object - because of the low height of the spire

THE BASE JUMPING MOVEMENT

The phrase BASE jumping was coined by a filmmaker Carl Boenish - often seen as the father of BASE jumping - in 1978, when he filmed himself doing a jump in Yosemite National Park, America.
The acronym stands for building, antenna, span and earth - the four places from which a base jumper can leap.
Once a person has made a jump from each of the four categories, they can apply to have a BASE jump number, which are awarded in sequence.

The first people to be awarded a BASE number were Phil Smith and Phil Mayfield, who jumped together from a Houston skyscraper on 18 January 1981.
As of March 2014, more than 1,700 BASE numbers have been issues.
The world record for the highest BASE jump was recorded in April this year.
Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet jumped 2,717ft from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Other people had previously jumped from the building, but the duo jumped from a 500m platform to enable them to break the record.

BASE competitions, where the jumps are based on landing accuracy, have been held since the early 1980s.
The heights of the jumps vary between competitions, but a recent competition involved participants jumping from the 1,483ft high Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


'We've all been jumping for five or more years. We all come from experienced skydive backgrounds and lots of us also having climbing or mountaineering experience.
'We spent two weeks visiting, studying the movements of the town centre itself, what times the pubs closed, wind directions and studying turbulence around the tower.'
With the spire just 210ft from the ground, the parachutists had very little time to erect their parachute - making it an extremely challenging jump.
But the unnamed man said the jumpers were determined to complete the stunt because the spire is 'unique'.

So when they heard the spire was surrounded by scaffolding, as part of work being done to replace a weather vane, they decided to start arranging the jump.

The man said: 'We have military laser range-finding equipment so we know how high something is and the distance we've got to fly to get to safety.
'It does get very scientific and it takes hours and hours of planning. We were mindful not to do any damage to the fabric of the church.
'We are the first people ever to do it and for us that was part of the attraction because it was a unique object to jump from. It was spectacular up there and the view of the town was fantastic.'
Inspector Andy Gan, from Newark police, said the force had received calls about people being seen parachuting near the church.
He said: 'Obviously this is very dangerous and we strongly advise people not to do it.
'It's also trespassing on church property, which is potentially going to cause damage to the church.





+8

The jumpers say they are the first people to complete the jump. They said they wanted to jump from the spire because it is a 'unique object'






The parachutists were seen landed in the market square directly below the spire. It is one of the most technically-difficult BASE jumps, according to one of the team






BASE jumping, regarded by many as an extreme sport, involves participants leaping from a fixed object, rather than planes. It stands for building, atenna, span and earth, indicating the four places from which the person can jump



'It's likely those who have done this are very experienced and if people think they can do something similar and come away unharmed that's very unlikely.
'People shouldn't try this. It is dangerous and could result in serious injury.'
According to an online 'BASE fatality list', 228 people have died doing base jumping since 1981.
Churchwarden Mike Pollard said: 'It's disappointing they have trespassed on church property.
'Although they haven't done any harm, it could encourage others to climb the scaffolding. We are obviously concerned and not very happy about it.'
Work is now being carried out to make the scaffolding more secure, he said.


BASE jumper back in the sky 11 months after being told he may never walk again

EXCLUSIVE: BASE jumper back in the sky 11 months after being told he may never walk again

A BASE-jumping Brit, who crushed the right side of his body in a fatal accident one year ago, is already back in the sky despite doctors telling him he may never walk again

By Tom Rawle/Published 4th June 2014



THRILL-SEEKER: Jamie has defied all odds and is back BASE jumping one year after his horrific crash [EPIC TV]

Adrenaline junkie Jamie Flynn said he was convinced he would be back flying soon after suffering horrific injuries when he crashed at the end of a jump in Turkey last June.
The keen wingsuit pilot hit a pile of hidden rocks as he came down on to what he thought was a grassy field.
Jamie suffered serious injuries to his whole right side - with severe fractures to his upper leg, foot, ankle, elbow, shoulder and wrist.
Doctors told him he would never run again and may struggle to even walk.
But in a miraculous recovery, a defiant Jamie is back flying through the skies just 11 months later.

"I was convinced I would jump again and that was my goal to be back amongst the community doing what I love."
Jamie Flynn
Speaking to the Daily Star Online, he said staying positive and keeping focused on getting back in his suit helped speed up his recovery.
He said: "With so many different injuries that happened as a result, the doctors were not sure if I would even run again.
"But I was convinced I would jump again and that was my goal to be back amongst the community doing what I love.
"There were obviously some not so good times but I tried staying as positive as I can in this situation, I believe being positive helps recovery.
And Jamie says he is almost back to full fitness despite a few niggling injuries.
He said: "I am pretty much recovered now 11 months on with a slight complication with my ankle that will need more surgery at some point in the near future. However I am back jumping now. It's certainly been a ride!"

The former paratrooper, who made his first parachute jump in 2005, said he was hooked on the sport as soon as he tried it.
He said: "After a couple of years skydiving and a few hundred skydives, I decided to make the transition to BASE jumping and since 2009 it's been amazing."
But thrill-seeker Jamie said it is not all about the adrenaline rush and excitement.
He added: "BASE Jumping gets you to travel all around the world and you get to hang out with some of the most amazing people that I've ever met. I've basically been living my dream through Skydiving & BASE Jumping
"It's the lifestyle that is as exciting as the jumping."
Jamie's story has been documented in EpicTV's four-part series Back To BASEics.
The series shows Jamie's road to recovery from his accident as he battled to get back jumping.

SCRIPT

Two Russian base jumpers made their first hair-raising wingsuit flights through the cliffs of the Zhangjiajie National Park in May. The pair's flight saw them pass between precipitous mountains and past near-by cable wires. It took them around 30 seconds to land safely.

Zhangjiajie National Park is home to the 3,544 ft Southern Sky Column, the natural wonder that inspired James Cameron's Avatar.
