Base Jumping from an Infinity Pool

By Rain Noe - January 31, 2012

in Video

What could make the view from the infinity pool atop the Marina Bay Sands casino, soaring some 55 stories above Singapore, even more surreal? Human bodies jumping off of the roof behind you.

Friends of mine who live/have lived in Singapore have indicated the city-state is not synonymous with taking bold risks, which is perhaps why a stunt-spectacle like base jumping was chosen to promote the casino. (Incidentally, at 1:18 there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of the Helix Bridge we wrote about earlier.)

@Mikolis - Um, did you even watch the video? The glass wall is a bit taller than a person. This is a still frame from 2:58 of the video.

I can photoshop a better picture than that. Come on now. Who are you kidding? He is too big first of all in that position of the picture. He should be half that size at least.

@1:28 are they putting on knee pads?! Why bother?

Better idea; don't jump off of a building.
