Well, it must be exciting - but how many people eat it every year? What's the percentage?

I think there's been 140 fatalities since it started in 1981, apparently the fatality rate in 2002 was 1 in 60. Pretty sketchy odds.

It's not the first time a world record has been set by a jump from the Burj Khalifa. While the tower was in its construction stages, two men, a British man and a Frenchman, managed to sneak past security and get to the upper storeys of the building.
The British man attempted the jump and was successful but the Frenchman, was caught before he could jump. They were both arrested and held in Dubai.
