Believe it or not, it's possible to jump off the Sky Tower. It's hard to see in this overexposed photo but there are wires that are supporting the daredevil. The maximum speed is only 70km/h (whereas terminal velocity is 200km/h) but at a height of 200m, I'm sure it's a pretty good rush.

They are crazy. I like the way you frame this photo.

Yeah! I like that reflection Herve pointed out. Coool. (Hey terminal velocity is km/sec)

That looks amazing, how long before you're jumping off it. I'll give you a month longer before I expect to see the picture taken as you're falling. Don't fail us.
BTW, i love how you captured the jumper in the window in the lower left corner of the photo. Is that photo shopped?

The guy in the reflection was just chance and I didn't even notice until I got the pictures on my computer. ;)

This looks to me like you are looking at the jets from a space ship.
