COLUMBUS -- An Ohio State University campus surveillance camera caught a man climbing to the top of a building on Friday.
A staff member called officers after spotting James Hare, 23, climbing Ohio Tech Tower, a staggering 893 feet high.
Once officers arrived, they told him to get down. At this point, Hare was already two-thirds the way to the top.
Hare ignored officers' requests and then took a flying leap off the building, pulling his parachute a couple seconds into the flight.
Hare landed firmly on his feet in a nearby cornfield, where he was arrested.
