Intel Staff Base Jumping Off a Six Story Building
Bing! Bong, bong, bong, bong!
You might remember back in December when Intel Finland shot five Intel engineers (or actors pretending to be Intel engineers) out of cannons for a commercial. The human cannonballs were fired at an arrangement of bells in an attempt to recreate the famous Intel chime.
However cool it was, the video from last year was also very fake. This next clip hails from Intel Romania and, though it's not yet clear if this one is fake too, we'd like to give the Romanian Intel employees in this video the benefit of the doubt.
The stunt was supposedly organized by Intel employee Iulian Sabau and involved dropping five men from the top of Intel six-story offices onto giant airbag horns, which then honked the Intel chime. Who did it better, the airbag honkers or the human cannon bells? You decide!
And just to jog your memory, the cannon video…

Introducing fun into jumping off buildings? Sounds like they're trying to turn into another Foxconn ;-)
Jeez doar in Romania poti sa vezi chestii din astea
) ... cei drept finlandezi au fost mai buni.
Like the fake video more, it's shorter and more fun.
... so? ... is there a point to do that?
For a second there I thought it was like those Foxconn Employee death jumps,
shocked me for a while
I really don't get it :|, and I'm a romanien. These guys started it all, Intel should learn from Mel Brooks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unw [...] re=related
I could have sworn base "jumping" means using a parachute? All they did was get "dropped" onto an airbag/horn. Kinda gay.
you can see by their commercials that outside of computing technology they're kinda lame... especially the overseas crews, weirdos.

exactly what i said, lol

the criminally (very smart) intelligent often turn into the criminally (very smart) weird..
some call it eccentric.

They call it "bass jumping".
Meanwhile Romania is in the worst economic crisis in the past 20 years and if the government continues to raise taxes and fails to offer basic services, Intel romania (with many other companies) will move and all those employees will be either fired or required to emigrate.
"...when Intel shot five engineers"
That scared me until I read on.
This has to be fake. It takes training to just from that far up, and it is very dangerous. I can't imagine Intel allowing this, due to obvious liability issues.
They are training for when business goes REALLY bad..
I wish the last one was a giant whoopi cushion noise instead /5yr old
Sure they called it bass jumping... it's because the pitch of the horns was so low
Would this be something Foxconn might try!?!?!?!?!
So in Finland that's also how they ask for a raise!
LOL At least at Intel they have a better grasp on how to base jump. Foxconn could learn from this.
Maybe it's a fake, the real ones are the foxconn employees.

simple. sign a waiver. I'd do it. It looks like they all had a lot of fun
I need some of whatever they're smoking.

Base jumping does involve a parachute and freefall, but it did take some balls to do what they did. I'll wager that the adrenalin spike is the same.

One of you per week swallows a bullet until RISO improves. As an example, we're executing Jim. Say goodbye, Jim.
this is why i love being romanian
The timing was all wrong. The tempo was too slow.
I liked the Cannonbells better.
meh. whatever. Fake or Real, it's lame either way.
