So ridiculously sad.

Wouldn’t a parachute malfunction if it’s opened right next to a building? Don’t they need room to expand?

The danger with BASE jumping off of skyscrapers is not getting enough air to fill your chute. I jumped years ago and regular parachutists would talk about the danger of jumping into downtown areas out of fear of losing their air near a building & having their chutes collapse.
