Four daredevils dressed in business suits dodged paying a cocktail bar bill - by hurling themselves over a 55th floor balcony.
People screamed at the penthouse bar in Melbourne, Australia, as they plummeted off the 800ft drop, reports The Sun. But the four were base-jumpers who had parachutes hidden under their suits and a getaway car waiting at the bottom of the Rialto Towers skyscraper.
Shannon Bennett, owner of the Vue de Monde restaurant, told how the four each ordered a gin-based Negroni cocktail at £14 a pop before the stunt. Mr Bennett said the men locked the balcony doors behind them so staff couldn't catch them before they made the plunge.
"I ran from the kitchen into the room and I just saw a flash of them jumping over, and at that stage none of us knew what the hell was going on," he said. "They had cameras on their helmets so I'm sure we'll all see it on YouTube soon. I hope they are caught - they need to pay their bill."
The four made good their escape - despite one of them having to be freed by the others after he got stuck in a tree.
