Two sky divers have set a new world record after jumping off the world’s tallest building.
Professional sky divers Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen base jumped from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
They were not the first pair to jump off the building but broke the previous record by leaping from a temporary platform built on top of the pinnacle of the tower.
The two were so excited by the event that they went and did it a second time straight after.

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s nuts..
COOL! It must have taken a lot of bravery to do that.
OMG. How can you do that I couldn’t
No, I bet that they were very relaxed. They are after all professional sky divers. And also they have made sure to make sure that everything was safe, so it wouldn’t be scary at all.
Wow! I would not even think about doing that even if I got paid a lot of money.
I think that is soo CRAZY and I would not do that because I am scared of heights:)
I wanna do that when I’m older!
Awesome
That’s insane
