About 100 international BASE(Buildings, Antennas, Span and Earth) jumpers are expected to demonstrate their extreme skydiving skills during the KL Tower International Jump to be held at the Tower from Aug 24 to 26.
The International Jump would be the culmination of a series of jumps held at various towers in the country, especially Menara Pelita, Sarawak (Aug 8), Menara Tun Mustapha, Sabah (Aug 11-12), Menara Alor Star (Aug 16-17), Menara Komtar (Aug 19) and Menara TM (Aug 26).
BASE is not for the faint-hearted as it requires exceptional skills due to the height factor. Skydivers taking part in BASE jumping are required to have done a minimum of 150 free fall exercises to qualify.
