WATCH: Men make crazy base jump from Shetland cliffs

This is the moment two men complete a base jump in Shetland – the most remote location for the sport in the UK.

Simon Brentford and Darren Strafford leapt from the 900ft cliffs at Nebbifield with parachutes earlier this month.

Mr Brentford can be seen landing on a pebble beach, while Mr Stafford falls safely onto an awaiting boat.

base-jump-10Since the clip was shared online the pair have become internet sensations as the video clocked up more than 5,000 views.

The term base jump is an acronym for building, antenna, span, earth – the four fixed structures people can plunge themselves from.

base-jump-11Leeds based Brentford – who has been skydiving since 1993 – said that he took on the Foula cliff because he was always looking for unusual challenges.

He added: “The plan was that we would hike up the back towards the cliff and at the same time the boat would circumnavigate to the west side and wait just off the base of the cliff.”

base-jump-13“I had briefed everyone that time was of the essence. Base parachutes work best in low winds as they get buffeted a lot less, so with winds forecast to arrive mid afternoon, losing this perfect opportunity was not an option.

“It didn’t take long to summit the impressive 1000ft ridge line leading to the edge and that was when we got our first view of the jump. It was as impressive as I had hoped for.

base-jump-9“It took only five minutes to find the exit point and my altimeter measured the height to be a whopping 930ft.

“I hit the target exactly where I wanted and was relieved when Darren did the same on the back of the fishing boat.”
