Jumping from the rafters inside a stadium. Does this count as a building?

Is this an invite?

Gots to be an S

I logged it as "Other".

Something that might inform your evaluation: does jumping from the pillar of a bridge count as an S?

The 4 different stadiums, Berlin Indoor event and UK air balloon hangar are all down as other in my log book.

Since the idea of the 4 BASE objects was mainly the normal things we used to think of as tall enough for parachuting, (which in those early 80's with skydiving gear), we usually wanted at least 3 or 4 hundred feet. Now the gear allows safe jumps from much lower, you have to really judge the object by the hazard it presents. The 4 BASE objects all have different hazards. Jumping from the top of a closed stadium is much more like a S than a building. No real hazard to hit the wall with an off heading opening. Same reason most smokestacks are counted as A's, not B's. Stay safe out there.
