The men that you see in this video spent a long, long time lugging heavy parachutes up flight after flight of stairs in Dubai (a city not known for its tolerance of criminal activity), to perform the very first and possibly last BASE jump from the Burj Dubai – and they were kind enough to capture their escapades on film. We hope that they are safely out of Dubai now, lest they feel the strong arm of Emirati law.

Seriously, ask me sometime about my friend who taught English to a class of policemen in Dubai. It would make anyone think twice. [Current via Neatorama, Gizmodo, DVICE]
