Meet Retired Lieutenant Colonel Satyendra Verma. He is a seasoned BASE (building, antenna, span/bridge and earth) jumper and sky diver with over 2,400 sky dives, 350 wing-jump suits and 54 BASE jumps to his credit.

Now he has managed to create history by performing India’s highest BASE jump yet from Supertech Group's Supernova tower in Noida.

The video shows Verma getting ready for the terrifying leap from a 600 feet high precipice and before we know it he jumps straight off the building. As the camera moves forward, we can see his plummeting down before he pulls open his parachute. The terrific, or terrifying, jump, performed with a parachute, took him one minute and thirty seconds.
