This may be a bit old, but it's really as intense as it gets. Last summer, a team of crazy men stood at the top of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and they did what no other would even dream of doing. They jumped. That is what a Base Jumper does, but if one does this from a height of 2,700 feet, then they must be incredibly brave, be stupid, or be a combination of the two plus more.

But that's what they did, the jumped off the top and spiraled down around the building as fast as gravity would let them and they fell for more than a quarter of a mile (nearly 10 Niagara Falls') before releasing their parachutes and safely landing below on the streets of Dubai.

This video shows the stunning feat and how they pulled it off. How does one muster the courage to do such a thing, and could there be anyone crazy enough to try to pull this off again?

zanderlex : well I would do it since I want to risk my life for a living.

blasife : Really? Cool, though you would only get 10000 dollars for it.

zanderlex : that is 10000 more then I have and it is 1 fifth of an avg yearly salary seems good to me

That's really cool! I watched the video which is way cooler than just hearing about it. I'm amazed that someone would have the courage to do this and do it successfully.

I think there will be several more people who could try to pull this off, but I don't think they'll do it as well as these guys did.

I wonder if many people driving by saw these guys falling from that building and stopped their cars to watch!
