=== Harness and container === BASE jumpers use a single-parachute harness and container system. Since there is only a single parachute, BASE jumping containers are mechanically much simpler than skydiving containers. This simplicity contributes to the safety and reliability of BASE jumping gear by eliminating many malfunctions that can occur with more complicated skydiving equipment. Since there is no reserve parachute, there is little need to [[cut-away]] their parachute, and many BASE harnesses do not contain a [[3-ring release system]]. A modern ultralight BASE system including parachute, container, and harness can weigh as little as {{convert|3.9|kg|lbs}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://squirrel.ws/equipment/base-jumping/cxul |title=BASE Jumping Harness Container CXUL |publisher=Squirrel |access-date=2020-02-14}}</ref>
