Extreme stunt goes dud Text and photos by Amar Guriro KARACHI: Russian extreme sportsman Valery Rozov escaped a terrible tragedy in an incredible and death-defying stunt on Sunday morning when he leapt off the rooftop of Pakistan’s tallest building, the MCB Tower. The base jumper failed to keep his balance after he released his parachute and strong winds pushed him to a nearby under-construction building, where the parachute became entangled in iron bars on its rooftop. Rozov kept hanging for about 20 minutes by the wall of the building. After the renowned skydiver was rescued and brought down, he told journalists that he was fine and unhurt. However, this scribe was not sure if the brave extreme sportsman actually managed to escape any injury since he had lost his balance during the stunt when his leg had smacked into the wall of the MCB Tower. Rozov was supposed to land on the rooftop of a nearby building just beside the MCB Tower. Rozov, 44, had selected MCB Tower, the tallest building in Pakistan with a height of 116 metres and with 29 floors, for his unique base jump. Rozov has made a reputation for himself with his death defying stunts. Jumping from a helicopter over the active Mutnovsky volcano in Russia’s Kamachatka Peninsula and from Europe’s highest mountain, Mount Elbrus, are some of the highlights of his career. People on the II Chundrigar Road, on which the MCB Tower is located, were stunned to see the unique spectacle that had never been witnessed in the country before. A large number of journalists, cameramen and photographers had gathered to cover the extraordinary event. A large number of police and Rangers personnel were also deployed at the spot. However, the team, which had organised the event, had not taken the necessary safety measures for the stunt as only an ambulance was seen parked at the spot. No ladder or a fire brigade was present to tackle any emergency situation. Rovoz had earlier planned to jump from the backside of the building, but later he opted to perform his act from the front. “The winds were strong since morning, so I decided to jump from the front side of the building, but that’s not the reason for the stunt going wrong, he said. “ I had planned to go left after jumping, but winds pushed me there before the anticipated time, however I am okay.” Rovoz said he has performed hundreds of skydiving stunts and the last one was in Sweden. “I am happy that I did the first ever base jump in Pakistan,” he said. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2009%5C11%5C02%5Cstory_2-11-2009_pg12_1 It’s a bird, its’ a plane, no it’s a Russian skydiver hanging from a building!
