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?

It can be both.

But to your point, when some overconfident dudebro splatters himself all over the flats, we the people have to pay for the cops to show up, the medics and the ambulance even if the idiot is obviously dogfood, the body recovery, the coroner and the postmortem, and all the associated bureaucracy.

And someone will still sue because the Park Service didn't prevent the moron from killing himself. You can sue for literally anything in the US.
