Base jump from world's tallest building (Video)
Just days after it was officially opened, base jumpers have plunged off the 828m tall Burj Khalifa tower.
Daredevils Nasr Al Niyadi and Omar Al Hegelan were given special permission to jump from the giant Dubai building.
The pair - members of the Emirates Aviation Society who have completed thousands of base jumps between them - reached speeds of 136mph as they hurtled towards the ground.
Setting the world record for the highest jump from a man-made structure, they free-fell for ten seconds before pulling their parachutes.
The entire descent took just one and half minutes… though we think we would rather take the lift.
