god id love to do that

what i dont get is how these people pull it off, not the fact that they jump off and book when they get into a car, but how the fuck do they get to the top of a building in the first place. they have all this gear they come in the building with, im sure there is some sort of security, im sure questions are asked. what the hell can someone say or do to get to the very top of a building like this to jump off it and not get caught before hand?

still fucking sweet, and i would love to try it sometime

^Get job as janitor in building.
Profit.

I see that, but when there is a case of someone jumping off the building and they do a run through of who would have had access, wouldnt they find that out, because im sure the people would quit right after jumping. lol or sometime shortly after.

just wondering how this is done.

All you have to have is people skills. Through the appropriate set of clothes on and act the part.

Being cunning and confident can get you lots of places you aren’t supposed to be.

The first 3 or so levels of the Ren Cen are pretty open to the public. Pretty much food and shopping and the big tower is the Marriott hotel. To get in the smaller tower elevators might require some special access though but the roof hatch was right there.

This was pre 9/11 from what I have heard and security was not as tight as it is now.
Security is at the base of each tower checking badges and it is card swipe to get into each level from the “lobby”.
Weekends are a little different but a badge would still be nessary.

Hardhats are key, you can go anywhere with a hardhat.

Or a clip board

I have spent over an hour walking around with a clipboard and had not one person ask me anything. Leather note pads work just as well if not better.

That reminds me of the guy carrying around a record bag and headphones getting into every club for free.
