Parachutists seek jump record
( 2003-08-21 13:39) (China Daily)
On October 5, 20 men will take part in a parachute jump from the 88th floor
of Shanghai's Jin Mao Tower, in an attempt to set a new height record for
jumping from a building, according to Shanghai Morning Post.
Some of the men, who will jump from a height of 380 metres, will leap one by
one while others will dive in groups. A few of them will bind fireworks to their
feet to enhance the spectacle. The parachutists plan to land on an
8,000-square-metre area of grassland near the Huangpu River.
