What is BASE Jumping?
BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of objects from which one can jump:
B: Building
A: Antenna
S: Span
E: Earth
The KL tower is a 10 minutes walkway from Shangharila hotel.Behind of KL Tower,can see the Suria KLCC and Maybank building.
The view from the top of Menara KL.This is a picture I took from a height of 300 meters.The first BASE Jump in Malaysia was Sunday, 3rd October 1999 at Menara Kuala Lumpur. The event was one of the highlights of Menara Kuala Lumpur’s 3rd Anniversary celebrations. This event is listed in the Malaysia Book of Records as the first Malaysian BASE Jump. Participants were Capt. Abdul Rahmat Omar, Lt. Aziz Ahmad and Martin Dumas, a Canadian. They jumped off the broadcast part of the Tower Head at Level TH05 from a height of 300 meters.There were some media coverage there witness the event as well and some of their family members from the professional parachutes.
