A chance to jump off the tallest landmark in the Belgian capital Brussels is attracting daredevil visitors this week. Brussels' Atomium monument has been rigged with a cable zip line, dubbed the "Deathride" by organizers.

It costs 25 euros, or 35 US dollars, to ride down from the top of the 102-meter high structure. Those taking part hang from waist harnesses. The ropes are anchored to a flag pole on the top of the Atomium, which was built in 1958 for an international exhibition.
