NO FURTHER action will be taken against the five daredevils who breached security at the i360 and base jumped off the top of the tower using parachutes on Saturday.

The team behind the new Brighton landmark have told the Argus they will not pursue the issue, and police have clarified that no criminal offence occurred.

However the developers have revealed to The Argus that the opportunity to abseil down the tower will be an option for visitors once the attraction opens.

Security has now been increased on the site, following the high-adrenaline dawn escapade on Saturday.

Over the weekend, a spokeswoman for the i360 explained that security would be under review.

She explained "The building is not complete and permanent security measures will be installed over the forthcoming months such as high security walls, alarmed doors, access control and CCTV cameras, which will make breaches of this type become increasingly difficult.”

However yesterday a spokeswoman confirmed: “Our team carried out a thorough search of the tower immediately after the incident and we have increased our security measures to ensure that does not happen again.”

An eye-witness to the shocking display managed to speak to the adrenaline junkies before they walked away.

Tia Brown, 47, from Brighton, was walking her dog when she heard a “whoosh” of parachutes opening above her head.

She said: “My first thought was to look for a plane, it’s not something you see every day.

“And as I looked up I saw someone throw themselves off the tower, and I thought ‘oh my god’”

By the time the men landed she was on the beach near their landing points. She spoke to three of them.

She said: “I said to them that I thought it was amazing but that they’d scared the hell out of me.

“One of them said ‘we scared the hell out of ourselves as well’”

She added: “It really got the adrenaline going through me, goodness knows what it did to them. It was good fun and good for them - I loved it.”

She said she was surprised that the officer driving a police car who had a full view of the landing base jumpers took no action.

But a police spokesman said: “We don't know if a car was there at the time without making enquiries, which would be disproportionate for this incident.”

Eleanor Harris, chief executive of British Airways i360, said "We would strongly discourage anyone else from trying to do this as it’s incredibly dangerous.

“Thankfully no-one got hurt on this occasion.

“For those dare-devils out there, we intend to make abseiling available, under properly and safely managed conditions, after the attraction opens this summer.”
