2. The question is
did you try it :rolf:

Here's another from the world's tallest building. I'd already seen that on TV here in the UK and it made my stomach go funny when they looked down....lol.

World Record BASE Jump

Recently it was discovered that the tallest building in the world - the Burj Dubai - had been the scene for a world record (and highly illegal) BASE jump. 1 British man attempted the jump and was successful, while a second man, a Frenchman, was caught before he could jump. They were both arrested and held in Dubai.

What is not known to either the authorities or the world in general, is that 2 men had already succeeded in climbing the tower and base jumping from it without being caught: another Brit and the same Frenchman who was later caught attempting a second jump. They were the first and have gone down as legends in their sport, for claiming the latest jewel in the crown of the sport. This is the story of that jump.

3. Great story
What they do is a little (OK a lot) out of my league. I use to rock climb some, but that's as "extreme" as any of my sporting activities ever got.
