Macau Visitors are being offered the chance to jump 233 metres to the ground from the top of the Macau Tower.
Beginning August 17, the 'Sky Jump', will give visitors the chance to fly through the air at 75 kilometres an hour for 20 seconds before decelerating to a safe landing speed.
The attraction is expected to be the highest adventure of its kind and would attract thrill-seekers from across Asia. The jump will be 41 metres higher than the only other Sky Jump in the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand.
Jumpers will wear specially tailored suits that are connected to three cables with a strain capacity of 3 000 kilograms for absolute safety, the spokesperson said.
The attraction is masterminded by AJ Hackett who began offering sky walks around the rim of the Macau Tower two years ago to increase the appeal of the new tower.
