In 2009, standing 160m up and armed with a toilet roll as his only means of testing the direction and strength of the wind, Cédric Dumont leapt from the Vilnius TV Tower, Lithuania's tallest building, freefalling for four seconds before opening his parachute. Although in an iconic location, this was far from his highest jump.
Cédric has jumped from the then-highest railway bridge in the world (201m) in Podgorica, Montenegro, the highest suspension bridge in the world, the Royal Gorge Bridge in Cañon City, Colorado (384m), and from 431m in a BASE wingsuit from the Jin-Mao tower in Shanghai, China.
