Two men have been banned from a hotel after jumping off the roof.\n<\/p>\n
The perpetrators, believe to be guests at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Nashville, saw in the New Year with the stunt.\n<\/p>\n
The pair took the leap from the hotel\u2019s rooftop bar, and were wearing parachutes when they jumped.\n<\/p>\n
Both glided to safety in a nearby parking lot before driving away. Police were called to the scene and are reportedly still trying to locate the men.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe vehemently condemn this kind of reckless behaviour,\u201d the Grand Hyatt said in a statement, confirming to Fox 17<\/i> that the base jumpers had been guests at the hotel, but had since been kicked out and banned from staying again.<\/p>\n
One witness and Nashville local, Amanda Bagley, managed to film part of the incident and shared the footage with local TV station WKRN-TV<\/i>.<\/p>\n
In the video, the pair can be seen mounting tables to climb over the barrier encircling the roof in order to take the plunge.\n<\/p>\n

A woman, presumably Bagley herself while filming, can be heard repeating the words \u201cOh my God\u201d over and over again as the guests jump off the roof.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not the first time a base jumper has caused a scene.\n<\/p>\n
In 2016, a mystery man leapt from the Shard in London, shocking onlookers on the ground.<\/p>\n
The man made the jump off the 95-storey skyscraper at around 10am on 12 March before safely hitting the ground near Borough Market.\n<\/p>\n
Eyewitnesses took to social media to share their amazement, with wine merchants Philglas and Swiggot described the feat as \u201cabsolutely mental\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
The Shard press office was contacted for comment at the time but said they were \u201cnot allowed\u201d to disclose any information on the matter.\n<\/p>\n
