BASE jumper Felix Baumgartner leaped from the highest building in the world, the Taipei 101 Tower in Taiwan on December 11. The jump itself wasn’t the only thing that was risky.
Five seconds was all it took for Felix Baumgartner’s freefall at his most recent BASE jump in Taipei. Five seconds, which took months of preparation. The 38-year-old Austrian checked out the tower, which is 509 meters tall, on numerous visits and in various costumes, made note of the positioning of the surveillance cameras, the security systems, and memorized the inaccessible areas.
On the day before the jump Baumgartner deposited his parachute in a toilet with the help of a local Taiwanese. On Tuesday afternoon it was then time to go ahead with the secret mission in James Bond style. On the look-out platform helpers distracted the tourists and security team, thus giving Baumgartner the opportunity to climb the three meter security wall. From there it was a four then 509 meter drop. After the historical jump he landed on a multi-level car park
From the jump to take-off
“I failed three times, but now I’ve finally realized this dream,” Baumgartner rejoiced after the first BASE jump from the tallest building in the world — the most recent highlight of his aerial career resume. Meeting up with the police and security who were hectically on his heals after the jump — probably to congratulate him — Baumgartner preferred to avoid: as early as two hours after the mission he was sitting in the plane, flying away from the country.
101大樓首次有人無預警跳傘,昨天下午4點15分,世界赫赫有名的奧地利定點跳傘明星,素有鐵金剛之稱的彭剛納爾,從台北101大樓頂樓一躍而下,在空中打開降落傘盤旋3分鐘,然後平安地降落;據了解,彭剛納爾仔細研究過台北上空的風向,甚至連101大樓的保全監視系統都暸若指掌;有人跳樓101卻完全不知情。
自由下落了將近5秒鐘,彭剛納爾打開降落傘;這項代號為定點502的定點跳傘計畫,鐵金剛彭剛納爾已經計畫了3年,而他早在5天前抵達台北,不斷地等待適合跳傘的風向,終於在昨天挑戰成功。極限跳傘者彭剛納爾:「要來了,我要從世界最高的101大樓跳傘了!」
鐵金剛首先在下午3點半來到101大樓第91層,然後躲到廁所裡,拿出前一天藏在天花板裡的降落傘背包,完成換裝動作,接下來在助手的幫忙之下,吸引其他遊客的注意。
鐵金剛在4點12分,偷偷地爬上3公尺高的警戒圍欄,這時候完全沒人發現;然後他往下跳4公尺落在101大樓的平台上,結果這一跳還踩破磁磚,扭傷腳踝;不過鐵金剛還是忍著疼痛,在4點15分終於縱身一跳。
經過3分鐘的盤旋,終於順利降落,接下來他開始拔腿狂奔;上了計程車趕緊前往機場,2個小時之後,彭剛納爾已經坐在飛往香港的班機上,這次行動彭剛納爾非常開心能夠挑戰成功!
極限跳傘者彭剛納爾:「我終於挑戰101大樓成功,這任務非常困難,需要克服風向及保全監控,我想我是全世界最快樂的人了!」

coooooool
"tallest building in the world, number one"
yes, u r number one
屌~!!!!!!!!
hahaha cool ! 第一名 !
i shit my pants!
red bull是一種運動飲料,專門用極限運動當廣告的內容,你只能看一個國家的法律被一個商業集團挑戰但卻拿他沒辦法。當你看到一個違法的人,但你還很高興的為他加油,在我看來,他的行為跟王又曾沒兩樣。
yeahh felix!! du bist der beste !
jawohl, rück Österreich ins rechte Licht!
what a legend! insane
…is that legal…?
that's illegal and that guy is crazy
it is still the tallest in the world. But until the burj is completed. Anyway, the Taiwanese should be even more proud than the Arabs because they build this 101 themselves without help from foreigners, not that I know of. And the building is sophisticated enough to resist typhoon and earthquate which are the major weather conditions in Taiwan. That is one of the reason why Taiwan doesnt have much tall buildings.
= =還以為你是外國人
hahaha, when the news covered this "security breach" they only guessed this guy landed on the ground and took a taxi to escape…
he's the best basejumper in the world… with the support of red bull he has absolutly no limits
because of this crazy dude
now we can't go up 101 with backpacks
thanks to you
you archived your dream but caused millions ppl troubles
Shit man you rule!
GOOD!!
@jeanologo Worth it
@TheNoonelikeme He is going to break the record for highest, fastest, longest skydive, 811m is NOTHING compared to 36,000m. He is also going to be the first to break the sound barrier with his own body.
Ahahaha! Was that jump even authorized? XD
i would rather jump off from a plane,not buildings
this is awesome!!!!omg!! i love it!
He must had a lot of red bull….
just cant imagine this guy jumped from the edge of space yesterday
他再次進來台灣會不會被通緝阿

我看過景象
他有用頭腦想可以在101跳嗎?? 沒有羞恥心
Damn I remember watching this as a kid, and I thought that this is so cool, and I was doing the same by walking on high stone walls in my garden lol
隔了幾年這男的去跳平流層,破了上次最高跳傘紀錄

這是小時候我爸帶我看的第一部YouTube 影片,來此留念紀念一下
後來他從外大空跳下,至今無人可超越!
而我卻剛好第101個留言者!
