Caught this video over at the Adventure Journal this morning and it’s just too good (read: too crazy!) not to share. It features some bold BASE jumpers actually leaping and parachuting inside the Basilica of Koekelberg in Brussels, Belgium. Apparently the building stands 89 meters (292 ft) in height and spans 164 meters (540 ft) in length. That’s large enough to jump in I guess, provided you’re crazy enough to do it. These guys were!

There's a spelunking/potholing club in the basilique de Koekelberg. You can do some sort of urbex/climb in the fundament.
