B.A.S.E. jumper Cedric Dumont is getting ready to leap from the world's fifth tallest waterfall, freefalling at a speed of 200 kilometres or 125 miles per hour. Dumont plummeted for 10 seconds before opening his parachute and gliding to safety over Peru's Gocta Waterfall. SOUNDBITE: Cedric Dumont, B.A.S.E. jumper saying (English): "It was one of the most intense jumps I've ever done. And when you start flying and you see this jungle coming up because it like a canyon, and you see it coming closer and closer, and you still have this waterfall on the right side, this is so intense." The leap saw him drop more than 500 meters -- that's more than 1,600 feet -- and it was just one of around 2,000 B.A.S.E. jumps Dumont has completed over the last 17 years.
