Stuntman flies without parachute.

On Wednesday the 23rd of May, wingsuit stuntman Gary Connery completes high helicopter jump. 

Luckily this brave man landed safely from a very high helicopter jump. Gary Connery, a 42 year old man completed the stunt wearing a specially developed wingsuit. For safety there were 18,600 cardboard boxes for Gary to land on after flying 1.4km through the air. The boxes were prepared as it only took about 50 seconds before he landed.  

The moment Gary landed. 

Gary's worked on films like Batman Begins and Indiana Jones and has  already completed about 880 skydives. Luckily the weather was fine when he took the risk. I said this because if the stunt wants to happen safely, the weather conditions had to be just right - otherwise the cardboard boxes could have blown away. Shockingly he is the first person to jump without a parachute from such a great hight. 

This is Gary's test run - he dropped at about 80mph, faster than cars on the motorway.

"Tonight will be all about celebrating with friends and family," he said, shortly after completing the jump.

"Tomorrow I will be plotting my next daring challenge!"
