Paris - A 34-year-old Belgian jumped with a parachute from near the top of the Eiffel Tower at dawn Wednesday and was whisked off by friends in a car after landing unharmed at the base.
Johan Vervoort, an experienced "base-jumper", was filmed by the private Belgian television channel VTM who are using the exploit to promote a comedy show.
Tower officials confirmed that a jump had taken place, and said Vervoort must have evaded security by concealing himself at closing time on Tuesday night.
A year ago to the day a Norwegian man died performing a similar stunt, when he crashed into the lower part of the tower. |
