Two adrenaline-fuelled skydivers have plunged from the tip of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai to break the world record for the world’s highest base jump.

Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen (and their cameraman) climbed to the top of the 829.8m Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, and jumped from the peak.

The crew constructed a 1×2.5m platform at the tip of the building specially for the attempt, to allow the jumpers to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
