SkyFall - Base Jumping off Al Hamra in Kuwait

First and foremost, this has nothing to do with James Bond 007, except the thrill of jumping-off the top from Kuwait Tallest Skyscraper - Al Hamra Tower. It stands tall at 412.6 meters and is the tallest sculpted (stone clad structure / fully concreted) tower in the world. Yes, Kuwait holds this record. Now, to find someone daring enough to leap off this structure and be the first one in Kuwait to pull off base jumping from any skyscraper in Kuwait is organised and masterminded by Camco Global Events (Their Insatgram Page). As the statement by the event organiser go "Chris McDougall World Champion & Record Holder B.A.S.E Jumper is leaping off Al Hamra Tower". This person is famous for his base jumping and wingsuit flying. 

The important information about the event are as follows:
Date: 8th March 2013
Time: 1 pm Kuwait Time (10 am  GMT)

Sponsors for this event are many (as seen the image above), Domino's Pizza (Hope they are giving out free pizza's during the jump), don't get me started with Zain - other than them having one of their outlets in Al Hamra.
