Such events have been on the go for a few years now. For example, in 2009, it was:

Lifeboats - RNLI"Want to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush? Want to fulfil one of your life ambitions? Want to raise some money for the lifesaving service offered by the RNLI's volunteer crews?RNLI Then why don't you throw yourself off a platform 160ft over Whitby harbour, with the town and the ruined Abbey as your backdrop?! The RNLI is holding its third annual 'Dracula Drop' " etc.

If you'd like to volunteer, you can contact Chloe on that UK phone number, or e-mail the address above (obviously you'd replace the # with @ but if I'd not obfuscated it you can guess how much spam she'd get after the spam-bots harvested it).

I wonder what happened about the even in the years following this.
