Parachutists Jump Off Atlantic City Buildings For Leap Day

ATLANTIC CITY- People jumped off tall buildings all around the country Wednesday, but no one got hurt.

It was all part of a Leap Day promotion for an energy drink.

In Atlantic City, two parachutists jumped off the top of The Water Club, the luxury hotel next to the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, landing safely in the parking lot.

Similar jumps were planned in Miami, Detroit and Las Vegas.

The promotion was tied in to the calendar quirk this Leap Year in which February has one extra day, hence the term "Leap Day."
