Visibility was nil, but a BASE jumper from Dubai made an uncompromising leap from the top of a 200-metre-tall Dubai skyscraper despite not being able to see the ground. Watching this clip will definitely give you sweaty hands!
Wingsuit BASE jumps are nothing new, but we've usually reported them elsewhere. This time, we have for you a historical video with the first jump with a wingsuit made in Slovenia, the author of which is Robert Krenker, and the evidence was collected by Matej Saksida, who accompanies him "on" the parachute. A video that will freeze your blood.

The 50-year-old Russian is no stranger to such daring feats, as he has already jumped from Mount Everest (from a height of 7,220 meters). This time the push-off site was at 5,460 meters from the top of the Western Breach wall, which is much lower, but this environment is still considered inhospitable for BASE jumpers.
Adrenaline sports are becoming more and more popular. New industries are emerging every day and one of the most interesting is base jumping.
