Base jumping off Kuala Lumpur Tower in Malaysia

This video is awesome. It features Fred Fugen & JP Teffaud Base jumping off Kuala Lumpur Tower at the Menara Kuala Lumpur 2012 Event. This tower stands at 1,379 feet. Base jumping is a fairly new sport that didn’t really develop its own identity until the mid 80’s, known for its high fatality rates. Don’t try this one at home, kids. Though unless you live in the Kuala Lumpur Tower, that might be hard to do anyway.
