American sets base jumping world record - News Summed Up

American sets base jumping world record


Miles Daisher BASE jumps for 24 hours and sets world record with 63 jumps in Twin Falls, Idaho, USA. The feat earned him the record for the most unassisted base jumps in 24 hours. An unassisted base jump means that the jumper cannot utilize an outside source (like an elevator or crane) to return to the jump point – he/she must get there by walking, hiking or climbing. Daisher originally set the record in 2005 with 57 jumps, and his record stood until 2016, when Dan Weiland jumped 61 times. In addition to now holding the 24-hour unassisted record, Daisher also holds the unofficial record for most base jumps ever, having jumped 4520 times in his lifetime.
