Jae’s birthday is 4 January, and he decided the first thing he wanted to do when the date rolled around — like, a few minutes after midnight — was to jump off the top of a tall building.  The Stratosphere Casino made this possible, with its Sky Jump attraction.  You are harnessed to wires, of course, but you still have to step off a ledge with a 100 story drop below you.  (The Stratosphere is the tallest structure west of the Mississippi.)

That birdlike figure in the picture above, just to the right of the tower, is Jae.

Jae stuck his landing and had a goofy smile on his face for quite some time afterwards.

I got a little nauseated just watching him do it.
