He sneaks into a skyscraper under construction in Malaga and parachutes from the roof

SPAIN / By Cruz Ramiro

A man has starred in a base jump in Malaga that has not taken long to go viral. It has been launched from one of the Martiricos towers, the skyscrapers that are being built near La Rosaleda, and has deployed a parachute to land on the Guadalmedina river. In a video, the jumper can be seen on the top floor of the building, whose maximum height reaches 106 meters in height and, before the astonished gaze of passers-by, has plunged into the void. Halfway through the parachute has fully deployed.

It happened around 10:00 a.m. this Thursday, June 22. The protagonist of this story has sneaked into the building under construction and has gone up to the terrace. As recounted by La Opinión de Málaga, it seems that it was not the first time that the anonymous skydiver, apparently a firefighter by profession and a great fan of this extreme sport, tried. On two other occasions he canceled the jump because of the strong wind.

The company promoting the construction, AQ Acentor, has confirmed the incident and has issued a statement denouncing the facts: “We denounce all illegal activity and, in this case, the trespassing of a construction area such as the AQ Urban Sky towers. The result of this action could have had fatal consequences.”. Everything points to the fact that the paratrooper managed to evade the security of the construction and posed as one of the hundreds of workers who pass through that work every day.

The penthouses have been put up for sale

According to the company, the incident “will be carefully analyzed with the companies responsible for access and security, to find out how it happened and prevent it from being replicated in the future, demanding the responsibilities it deems appropriate. Likewise, AQ Acentor reserves the rights to take legal action against the executors and collaborators of this action”.

The facts coincide with the date on which the promoter has put up for sale the twelve penthouses in the south tower, from which the skydiver has jumped, with prices ranging from 600,000 euros to more than 1.5 million euros. These are exclusive homes with panoramic views of the city located between floors 27 and 29 of the south tower.
