They were both arrested and held in Dubai.

What is not known to either the authorities or the world in general, is that 2 men had already succeeded in climbing the tower and base jumping from it without being caught: another Brit and the same Frenchman who was later caught attempting a second jump. They were the first and have gone down as legends in their sport, for claiming the latest jewel in the crown of the sport. This is the story of that jump.
They climbed 160 floors of stairs and BASE jumped a world-record 650 meters. The video of the actual jump is brief but breath-taking. The Frenchman in the vid tried a second jump but was caught & arrested by Dubai police (eek!)

Base jumping is something I've always wanted to do. That's just phenomenal.
