How many people jumped off the building in this video?

From the BBC:

Sky divers Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen have set a new world record by base jumping from the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Unless I am very much mistaken, three people jumped off the building - the two in the picture and the cameraman, who as per usual doesn't get a mention, despite having the harder task.

what you might find is that 2 jumped off and the third was perhaps tied to them and dragged down with em to do the filming....

Unless the camera was on a remotely controlled model aircraft.

AM, B, no.

You can see that the cameraman pulls his 'chute slightly before the other two and then the sequence just cuts off. Similar with second sequence.
