BASE (Buildings, Antennas, Spans and Earth) jumpers parachute from Malaysia's landmark Petronas Twin Towers, in Kuala Lumpur January 5, 2004. Jumpers from Asia, Europe and the United States jumped off the Twin Tower's 73rd floor and did a freefall for four to five seconds before opening their single parachute and landing on a targeted 25-foot radius.

I hope they had fun and had nice safe landings.
(There. Is that getting better? I didn't even gasp when I looked at the picture...I'm getting more 'Base PC' over time...)

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

I hear there may be a few things around here that some of our local BASE peeps will be happy to help you leap off

...the only stationary thing Miss Jaye will ever leap off is the bottom step of her stairs...

..except that BASE off the Petronas tower is really just a 'hop n pop' without a plane.... Anything as high as most people's hard decks (at terminal) seems to be another animal yet again. Fjords, anyone?

Seriously, I'm with ya on that one, someday. Thinking my 40th B-day as a present for surviving that long
