In the arena of extreme sports, BASE jumping--where the adventurous
leap from fixed objects such as bridges, skyscrapers, and cliffs,
and freefall for several seconds before parachuting back to
earth--is among the most dangerous and this extensive sociological
work analyzes the gender and voluntary risk-taking aspects of the
unique sport. With personal accounts of involvement in BASE
jumping, this work extends into the early attempts to explain the
gendered participation in the sport by drawing on wider debates
about modernization, individualization, and community formation.
