    The KL Tower International Jump

    Brave or bonkers, base jumpers from 19 countries have parachuted into Malaysia to spend four days leaping 300m from the open deck outside Menara, Kuala Lumpur's 421m-tall communication tower.

    From 27 to 30 September, nearly 100 jumpers with at least 100 previous jumps and a minimum of two years experience are taking part in the city's 12th annual KL Tower International Jump, where the art of launching yourself off tall things for kicks -- BASE -- stands for building, antenna, span (ie bridges) and earth (ie cliffs), with the use of a parachute.
