The Menara Kuala Lumpur (better known as the KL Tower) is the fourth tallest telecommunications tower in the world, standing at 1,381 feet (421m). The tower has become a magnet for extreme sports enthusiasts, particularly ‘BASE’ (building, antenna, span and earth) jumpers. Every year 50 or so daredevils make repeated jumps from the tower and make three-second free falls before opening their chutes, leaving spectators breathless. Allied events on the day include a light aircraft fly past, helicopter roping, radio controlled aircraft displays and gliding exhibitions.
