Prior to the Merdeka Day celebration, BASE jumping activities was organised at several towers in selected cities in Malaysia. Last Friday 29/08/08, the jump was organized at KL tower. It was reported on local medias as part of the Merdeka celebration.
But what was not reported was the near fatal casualty, as one of the jumpers unable to open his parachute until the last few feet from the ground... The jump was halted for 10 to 15 minutes. I don't know what happen to the jumper, hopefully he is fine without any injuries because the jump resume after that until the late afternoon.
His parachute or whatever you call them only open when he reached the trees.
