I would think there's much better buildings in the world to jump off of.
 
So they shouldn't bother with any others? :haha:

I'd think it is about hitting well known landmarks as well as the tallest around.

maybe I'm numb to height of building since I've spent half my time in Chicago in the last few months, but the Ren Cen isn't even half the height of the 4th largest in the city of chicago. It seems like the instant you'd step off the edge you'd be pulling for the shute and pray it has enough time to deploy before you hit pavement.

I'm sure it was more about what the building is and the global icon etc etc than the height :D
 
The Ren Cen is a global Icon? Of what? Bad Management and horrible union browbeating?
 
Lol @ where this thread is going. I can't watch this vid right now because of the web filter. but if its the same one im assuming it is, They didnt even jump off the tallest of the buildings did they?

They did not, you can see the main tower in the background of the video around 22-25 seconds ast hey crawl on to the roof from the access hatch thing.
