An unidentified Englishman and Frenchman jumped from 650 meters up in the Burj Dubai tower -the tallest building on earth- in May of 2008. Both were arrested shortly afterward. -Thanks, Adam Fuhrer!

    The beginning of your description sounds like the start of a bad joke. :P

    That was very cool to see them leap off such a tall building.

    why didn't he wear a wingsuit like the other guy, so he could land outside the security area?

    Oh, sorry, I read in some other blogs that they were the guys who actually jumped from the tower :?

    I thought the video and idea were great, but my mom (acrophobic) found it quite shocking when they leapt from 2,000 + feet in the air.

    A bit long in the tooth. Not enough of the jump.

    I wonder why he risked doing it the second time.

    Wow. That was awesome! They got their names put in the books as having jumped off the tallest man made object in the World. I had goosebumps and a rush of adrenaline just watching that. Makes me feel even more interested in taking up sky diving as a hobby. :)
