Meriton Surfers Paradise base jumping stunt filmed on camera

A group of base jumpers were filmed risking their lives after jumping off a 76-story skyscraper.

Five people took part in the daring stunt as they jumped off the new Meriton Suites building in Surfers Paradise in Queensland at midnight on Wednesday.

A resident of a nearby building captured the brave moment as they slid down and floated over the meters below Surfers Paradise Beach.

Meriton Suites stretches 265 meters in length and offers unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean.

Dubbed Ocean, the tower is located on Surfers Paradise Beach and will house a five-star hotel, residential apartments and retail district.

The five-star luxury resort includes suites with full-size gourmet kitchens and separate living and dining rooms.

Hang gliding, skydiving, base jumping, abseiling, or climbing down buildings with daredevils is illegal and risks hefty fines.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Meriton for comment.

In 2016, four base jumpers took off from a crane and slid 120 meters to the ground.

They were each fined $450 for the stunt and faced Sandgate Magistrates Court for their actions.

In 2018, social media personality ‘Shammi’ Prasad filmed a base jumper jumping off The Meriton in Southport.

The video showed a male figure falling from the 50-story building to the ground at high speed before his fall was interrupted by a parachute.
