Over 100 jumpers leapt from Kuala Lumpur Tower on a hazy day during International Jump Malaysia 2019 in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. /VCG Photo

Unlike skydiving, the event featured BASE jumping, which requires divers to jump off fixed structures including buildings, antennas, spans and cliffs with a parachute or a wingsuit. /VCG Photo

The sky deck on Kuala Lumpur Tower is the highest BASE jump platform in Malaysia and stands 300 meters high. /VCG Photo

The first jump event took place in October 1999 to celebrate the tower's third anniversary and has since become an annual festival. /VCG Photo
