Story

Our next Project takes place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  The Jump4Heroes team will be BASE jumping from the Menara Kuala Lumpur Tower with Royal Marine guest jumper Kenny Craig and Andy Naude from the Parachute Regiment.  This will take place over the period 21-25 Oct 09.  The Tower totals 421m and is the fifth tallest telecommunications structure in the World, however the exit point is slightly lower at approximately 310m.

While this is an impressively high building to BASE jump from, two of the team intend to push the limits to the extreme and fly their wingsuits from the building.  Wingsuits need significant altitude before they can realistically start to fly and the team will need every inch available to safely conduct their BASE jumps.


But, this is just the start....  Following the jumps from the Menara KL Tower, two team members have been selected to then go on to attempt a Guinness World Record Jump with 24 BASE jumpers attempting to BASE jump every hour for 24 hours.
