Two base jumpers leap from the 380 metres high Kuala Lumpur Tower in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 07 October 2010. Some 120 base jumpers from 22 countries took part in the annual KL Tower International Jump. BASE (Building, Antenna, Span and Earth)-jumping is an extreme sport where parachutists jump off tall buildings and structures instead of aircraft.

aew you people kidding-not a chance.........................
Hell no, I am an aircraft mechanic who has dropped many out of the back.
You would never catch me jumping out of a perfectly good airplane much less from the top of a building.
There is no such thing as a "perfectly good airplane"....... I'll take a one way ride any day over a two way ride. :-)

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Any airplane that can help you do that is a *perfectly good airplane.*
Of course, assuming it was supported and I didn't have to sneak up in full gear mode. Why not, again, assuming fully experienced and equipped.
Would I try this?
In a f***ing heartbeat! What's the point of living without a little danger? Just don't nominate me for the Darwin Awards when I'm dead.
Notice the camera on his helmet? I bet there are lot of great videos around if you knew where to look.
I'm an avid BASE jumper, and would love the opportunity to BASE jump off of this structure.
No thanks. I get dizzy on top of an eight-foot step ladder.
I did a radio tower jump, 1,592 ft with no crazy air currents ...what a rush ...landing target of grass ...these guys did concrete with unpredictable air currents ...very brave.
Oooooohhhhhh Yeahhh, rush, rush, rush, land....
I'm in....
i prefer my thrills without the possibility of death involved! my life is too important to my to put my life in danger for thrills
No, i don't think so. Maybe out of a plane with an instructor, but....only with a couple of martinis before.
Sure in a heart beat.. or at least my last one.
Parachute jumping from high structure is thrilling but killing. I'd rather to spend and preserve the short life in graceful and ordinary manner. Those jumpers are real top gun and salute!! Bravo!

to be able to soar like a bird. HELL YES, IN A HEARTBEAT
Oh.... yes.... So much adrenaline release in such a short time....
Not no, but HELL NO!
Awesome, I'd love to do that. You gotta be an accomplished skydiver before you try this. You only get one chance, no reserve parachute to rely on if your first one fails, you better be a good parachute packer as well.
Not a plane, or a building, would jump off of, I like fiying but not that.
These guys are frickin' nuts!
I would jump off any building, anywhere, at anytime as long as was two meters or less in height.
Depends................ Oh not the Jump,the underwear. I'd need to wear them to try something like this.
For me I would not risk my health or death for this silly sport!
If I want "excitements" in life, I would rather do relief work for
people who are in real needs because of some natural disasters!
What a bore. How about sky-diving into a refugee camp to evoke wonder in the young ones?
Who wouldn't???!!!
Everyday should be a good day to die . . . where do I sign up?
Who wouldn't???!!!!
