Council Member Peter Vallone discusses Base Jumping

Pre Stated 9/4/08

In an effort to prevent the unnecessary and dangerous deployment of city resources, the Council will vote on legislation that will prohibit people from climbing, jumping and suspending themselves from New York City's tall buildings and structures. This legislation applies to any monument, statue, crane, bridge, sign, tower or other object that exceeds fifty feet in height. Any person that violates this saw would be guilty of a class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail or a fine of up to one thousand dollars or both.
