The base of the cooling tower is about 450' in diameter, so plenty of room for maneuvering. Also, this particular one has been out of service so long that the concrete basin has been removed and replaced with dirt and grass (and roads). The fill that goes around the perimeter is also gone, leaving a gap from the bottom of the structure to the ground of about 40', with the only obstructions being the legs (you can see the shadows of them) that are about 40' apart from each other.

@@DavidFerree54 What you described is exactly what I thought when I first watched the video and was trying to think of how to describe it haha. The way the sunshine rays glow at the bottom shows there are no walls and almost as if the jumper was able to control almost straight down and then could angle over to land on the ground OUTSIDE of the ring bottom. Cool stuff.
Fun fact: When standing anywhere in a natural draft cooling tower like this, given that there's no other noise present at the time, you can hear your own voice echoed back because of the round shape. Opening shock would be the same, multiplied by the reflective surfaces.
Oh really? lol Tell us more Mr. Expert. Meanwhile, before you embarrass yourself further, I'll help you out. While not all natural draft cooling towers are used in nuclear power plants, that is by far the most common usage. Why? Because of the huge amount of water that needs to be cooled (like a million gallons per minute) and because of the necessary range (hot in/cold out) required for nuclear applications.
Literally every feeling you ever had was drugs. Your brain runs on drugs. Your reward receptors are run on drugs. Google Seratonin and Dopamine. You're already addicted to drugs and you're still out here judging?
@@butchcassidy9791 I would rather not experience a nightmarish death or excruciating pain from fucking up my body at young age than to not having any cool stories to tell.
yes cause thats what life is all about jumping like a cretin into thin air for no reason. you re realy projecting your insecurities, doing dumb shit like this ain t living life at all, just risking it for literaly no reason@@butchcassidy9791
Such an amazing exit for a base jump. Thank you for sharing!! Stay safe out there
Is there enough space for landing? Looked like the guy was heading for the wall. I'd be scared to do a 180 degree turn at that altitude.

How'd yall get up there?

Боже,душа в пятки....Парни неужели заряд адреналина стоит таких рисков?Можно и на земле споткнуться и убиться,да я это знаю.Спасибо за красивое видео.
Stop burning tyres inside them...
God that one looks fun. I don’t want you to burn it here, but I really want to know where it is
Bro reminds pubg war mode.... 😂😂
Зачем вы так рискуете?
Красавчик!!!
How do you exit this thing?
The bottom is all open.
@@mdlesziak oh nice. I thought it might be but it looked like wires. Probably way down huh lol
@@tonydjtekdolan8486 it appears to be a trick of shadows
@@tonydjtekdolan8486 the shadows are from the legs of the tower. The tower is not in use and hasn't been for years.
Jump back to top :)))
Steamy stacks huh
Badass!!
These have nothing to do with nuclear power.

You don't know how to cook anything.

Yeah, but they can tell intense stories, while we only get to talk about that one time we almost got stabbed buying an eight ball off Tribeca.
