The last sanctioned jump off of the CN Tower was all the way back in 1979, when stuntman extraordinaire Dar Robinson took the plunge in a bright red Adidas track suit attached to a cable. Yesterday's jumper seems to have a smooth go of it, catapulting off the observation deck before deploying his parachute and gliding across the skyline in a controlled arc that made the whole exercise look like the safest thing in the world.
Pan Am Games officials are staying tight-lipped about the video for which the jump was undertaken, but I'll give them points for arranging something a bit daring like this. The last promotional video was good, but the event could use a little added excitement as the opening ceremonies loom just over a month away.
