Two basejumpers just set the world record for BASE jumping from the world's tallest building the Burj Khalifa (formerly called the Burj Dubai), from a height of 828 m.
Check out the video below:
Two questions:
1. Why didn't this video take the 13 seconds you calculated take an object to fall to the ground?
2. What was the average velocity of the skydiver? How does this compare to the velocity an object falling only under the influence of gravity would have when it hit the ground?

Dubai's leaders must have known that problems like this were coming when they agreed to the name change, which recognizes the Abu Dhabi leader who bailed them out of their debt crisis. It appears that they were so desperate that they had no choice.
