The ultimate leap of faith.  Imagine standing on the edge of the world, the wind howling around you, your heart pounding in your chest. This was the scene when Russian extreme sports star Valery Rozov set the world record for the highest BASE jump from Mount Everest. On May 5, 2013, Rozov leaped from an altitude of 7,220 meters (23,688 feet) above sea level, flying for nearly a minute at speeds of about 200 km/h (125 mph) before landing safely on the Rongbuk glacier. This incredible feat not only showcased the sheer audacity of BASE jumpers but also pushed the boundaries of human capability.

FICOR Score

(Fatality & Injury Classification of Risk)

Discipline : Earth
Discipline : Building
Discipline : Span
Discipline : Antenae
Fatality Rate of 1: X Participants

FICOR score is based on XDGE's proprietary scoring system

Minimum score to be considered for XDGE is 50, and the maximum is 100. This FICOR score is based on available data combined with XDGE's proprietary scoring system which weights several factors based on importance, including: insurance risk scores for the particular activity being evaluated, reaction time available as an adverse event unfolds, speed, height, depth, technical difficulty, ability to mitigate risk during activity, availability of backup equipment, involvment of other participants, location of activity, mental focus required, outcome resulting of most mishaps such as death or hospitalization, and a determination of the likelihood of having a major accident if that sport is done frequently.
