There are lots of places to legally BASE jump in Europe. You can even take a gondola to the jump point. But very very few legal options in the USA.

I wish there were more places to legally enjoy BASE jumping on US public lands.

They don’t want to deal with the liability lawsuits.

Would there be liability lawsuits for this happening on public land? Might it be more a matter of them not wanting to do body clean up once a week?

there aren't that many accidents. It's also more dangerous to jump in ways that attempt to skirt laws (jumping near dark, trying to evade capture, etc)

I’m convinced this is how Dean Potter died. Jumping at dusk to try to evade capture my Yosemite rangers.

If it had been legal, and had he jumped in broad daylight, I think he’d have survived that day.
