Alas, no footage. But if it wasn't for stories like this, skydiving wouldn't be scary enough to be so fun, so worth absorbing into your subconscious nonetheless.

Recently it was discovered that the tallest building in the world - the Burj Dubai - had been the scene for a world record (and highly illegal) BASE jump. 1 British man attempted the jump and was successful, while a second man, a Frenchman, was caught before he could jump. They were both arrested and held in Dubai.

Here's video footage. The guy's lucky he landed in snow - probably cushioned his call a fair bit.

The problem with skydiving footage is it takes loads of money and time to set up getting a good shot and it only takes one dreadlocked idiot to come along and ruin it...
