VANCOUVER (CP) -- Three Americans have been arrested and charged after two men parachuted off from the 42nd floor of a downtown Vancouver hotel.

Police said two men jumped from the Empire Landmark Hotel on trendy Robson Street about 11 a.m. Sunday while a third man videotaped the jump, called base jumping.

The names of the men, all from Seattle, were not released.

One of the jumpers landing on the roof of a parked car, suffering minor injuries, while the other hit the side of a building and apparently tried grabbing onto an eavestrough one the way down, pulling it off the building.

Police also seized the videotape.

On behalf of the jumpers from Seattle, I would like to apologise to the Vancouver crew. They understand the mistakes made and have leared a great deal from the consequences. I will post further details as well as the accurate chain of events after the court date.
