Where did base jumping started?

Answer 1

People have been jumping off fixed objects (buildings, antennas, span and earth) since around 1910, but they have been few and far between. El Capitan was first jumped in the 1960's with round parachutes, but it was not until the late 1970's and 1980's that the sport really came into existence. Carl Boenish is known as the 'father of BASE' and he coined the acronym.
