Olov is a cousin of Thor Axel Kappfjell who himself died BASE jumping in 1999. Olov, with another jumper and a small crew, is endeavoring to jump in honor of Norway's Independence Day. Earlier that day they had been discovered while preparing to launch from the 56-story Montparnasse tower, the only real skyscraper in Paris. It is then decided to attempt a jump from the Eiffel Tower. Initially the plan called for jumping from the top of tower which is 930-feet. However, tight security made them abort that idea. A decision is then made to attempt the jump from a lower level. The second level (or platform) of the tower is 370-feet and at this point the second jumper elected not to jump. Olov launched and impacted the first level of the tower. This level is 200-feet AGL and 170-feet below where he launched. In modern BASE terms the Eiffel Tower is first jumped by two BASE jumpers in 1984. The following year stuntman/skydiver B.J. Worth made a legal jump for the James Bond film , A View to a Kill. Sadly, Olov and his cousin Thor are the first two relatives to appear on this List.
