Auckland - New Zealand thrill seeker, Mr A.J. Hackett, broke his own record yesterday by successfully bungee jumping from one of the southern hemisphere's tallest buildings, Auckland's Sky Tower.
Mr Hackett leapt from the observation deck of the tower, secured by a bungee cord and two support cables either side to stop him from hitting the building on his way down.
The 180-metre jump faltered in its early stages and Mr Hackett said later that he may have jumped out too far, causing the runners on his support cables to jam slightly.
