Man Parachutes Off Tallest Building in Pakistan in Windy Conditions
Nov 25, 2009 – 2:00 PM
Valery Rozov is a Russian extreme sport athlete who has won X-Games medals and done more than 8,000 jumps off various high objects. But when he jumped off the tallest building in Pakistan, he underestimated the wind.
Rozov jumped off the Muslim Commercial Bank Tower on a windy day, and when his parachute opened, the winds carried him directly into the side of the building. Amazingly, Rozov wasn't injured, a fact that I would attribute to dumb luck but he attributes to his experience as a jumper.
The folks at Muslim Commercial Bank say on their web site, "It is a matter of great pride for us that an athlete of international fame visited Pakistan and selected MCB Tower for this exciting event." Maybe next time they can wait until the winds die down.
