Risk & Reward: Base jumpers leap from world’s new tallest building (oh, again)
The only way humans can top building a structure like the Burj Khalif is to jump off it. And that's exactly what seasoned base jumpers Omar Al Hegelan and Nasser Al Neyadi did this week, leaping from a height of 672 metres and free-falling for over 10 seconds then parachuting a further 30-40 seconds. The tower stands 828 metres high.

Basejumpers use wingsuits to fly – just amazing
These basejumpers grew board of just jumping off cliffs, falling for a bit then popping a shoot. So they built sugar-glider wing suits and began to fly. That wasn't quite doing it for them, so they went to Norway and began flying close - really close - to cliffs and rocks... even roads.
