Base jumpers create new world record by jumping off Burj Khalifa

Washington:Base jumpers Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet broke the world record of the sport by jumping off the top of the 2,717-feet tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Skydiving resort Skydive Dubai sponsored the jump and built a small platform at the top of the skyscraper in order to make the jump possible, the Verge reported.

Daredevils have jumped for the tall building before but this is for the first time that anyone's done it from the very top.
