If you’re an employee working in an office like most of us, we’re sure there are busy days when you don’t even get to walk more than 1,000 feet. It’s nobody’s fault; that’s just the way the cookie crumbles nowadays. These people reached even more feet, only that instead of walking the distance, they base jumped it. Watching these adrenaline junkies free falling in 4K makes you want to visit Dubai.
Oil resources might have kickstarted UAE’s economy, but if there’s one thing that made them stand out is their great engineering endeavors. Princess Tower is one of the best examples of that type of innovative thinking. The 101 story, 1,358 feet (414 m) tall residential-only skyscraper is currently the world’s tallest residential building. Located in the Marina district of Dubai, it’s also the tallest building in the city after the Burj Khalifa.

The record breaking building was transformed into the playground of a large group of daredevils recently when the Princess Tower has opened its sky high roof top to a platform from daring Dream Jump base jumpers. More than 558 people showed up at this unique adrenaline drill that saw them jumping off the platform in various racing formations.

As if jumping wasn’t enough, you can see these mad men dangling under the platform, depending upside down from a handstand and forming a human pyramid, among other jaw-dropping stunts. With that type of action, the best filming equipment was required which is why everything was taped in 4K.

Dubai Film has partnered up with SkydiveDubai and XDubai to bring the fear, adrenaline, laughter, excitement, and joy on tape, and we can’t but be thankful for that.
