Two men executed a BASE jump from the rooftop bar of the Grand Hyatt hotel in Nashville on Friday, causing "mass panic" among bar patrons, police said.
Hotel security told police that two men approached the rooftop bar ledge on the 25th floor of the hotel Friday night and jumped from there, according to a Metro Nashville police report.
When the men jumped up, the bar patrons started screaming and there was "mass panic", according to the police report.
Witnesses looked over the edge of the building and saw the two men parachute into an adjacent parking lot.
Once they landed, they got into a car and drove off, according to the report.
A customer of the bar posted video footage of the incident on social media.

BASE jumping is an extreme sport and BASE is an acronym in English for building, antenna, stretch and land.
Unlike paratroopers, who jump from airplanes, BASE jumpers practice their sport from fixed points such as skyscrapers, cliffs or bridges.
