Kuala Lumpur International Tower Jump
The Menara Kuala Lumpur (better known as the KL Tower) is the
fourth tallest telecommunications tower in the world, standing at
1,381 feet (421m). The tower has become a magnet for extreme sports
enthusiasts, particularly 'BASE' (building, antenna, span and
earth) jumpers. Every year 50 or so daredevils make repeated jumps
from the tower and make three-second free falls before opening
their chutes, leaving spectators breathless. Allied events on the
day include a light aircraft fly past, helicopter roping, radio
controlled aircraft displays and gliding exhibitions.
