Satyendra Verma just performed India’s highest BASE jump, from 600 feet above the ground
He jumped from India’s highest building, in Noida.
Retired Lieutenant Colonel Satyendra Verma is a seasoned BASE jumper and sky-diver, with over 2,400 sky dives, 350 wing-suit jumps and 54 BASE jumps to his credit. Now, he can add his 600-foot jump to his portfolio. The terrific, or terrifying, jump, performed with a parachute, took him one minute and thirty seconds.
The 48-year-old jumped from Supertech Group’s Supernova Tower, India’s highest building, located in Sector 94, Noida.
“I was in the Indian Army for a period of 23 years and there, adventure is not an option,” Verma said after completing the BASE jump, “It is a way of life and through there, I ventured into the sport of skydiving and BASE jumping.”
He added later that the view of Noida and the Yamuna was fantastic from the top of the building.
