If I had a penthouse at the top of a NY skyscraper, I would absolutely consider gliding/parachuting/jumping off (with a big trampoline to catch me, off course). I've seen this done on the Letterman show, and it looks like good fun. There's a reason that they say "don't try this at home" though-- and it has nothing to do with your safety. So, ATTENTION ALL PENTHOUSE OWNERS and FRIENDS OF PENTHOUSE OWNERS WHO MIGHT LET YOU JUMP OFF THEIR BALCONY: JUMPING OFF A BUILDING IN NEW YORK IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.
According the dumblaws.com, anyway. Of course, if you plan to jump off to commit suicide, all your bases are covered. Even if, by some unlikely miracle, you bounce off the doorman's shoulder on your way down and manage to survive-- don't fret. The State of New York (or the doorman, if he's still alive) will kill you.
*Note: The jumper in the photo is stuntman Dar Robinson-- he's jumping from the CN building in Toronto.
