Watch the moment two adrenaline junkies jump off 48th floor at Canary Wharf

Two adrenaline junkies jumped off a 48-floor skyscraper in Canary Wharf last month.

The footage of the unnamed daredevil duo jumping from the top of the Pan Peninsula in Canary Wharf isnโ€™t for faint-hearted. It shows the base jumpers taking a plunge from the balcony of the Attic Bar and free-falling over Canary Wharf. The thrill seekers later open their parachute and land safely.

Speaking about the jump, the duo told the Standard:

โ€œThis jump is something that weโ€™ve been planning for a good few years now.

โ€œLooking at safety issues, access to the bar, where we could get changed, outside areas and a quick escape route too. On the night itself, we were there for a few hours just chatting.

โ€œThe wind speed was a bit too high so we were just waiting for it to pass.

โ€œWhen last orders was called, we checked the wind speed again and luckily it was safe so that was our moment to jumpโ€.

โ€œIt was an incredibly ballsy way to do it. Striding across the bar and the bar staff just didnโ€™t spot us.

โ€œNow, I just have a huge sense of accomplishment having succeeded in jumping off such an iconic building in London.โ€
