Gary Connery, 42, is now the first man to jump 2,400 ft (731 meters) and land safely, without parachute, using a specially-designed wingsuit.
It took years of training and a specially designed wingsuit to achieve this record jump, which took place in, and above, Ridge Wood in Buckinghamshire, England.
Minutes after landing, the 42-year-old father of two children told the BBC, "I have been training and planning for this record attempt for many years now and I am so proud to have achieved a world first.
"I want to thank everyone involved for their support and belief in me because this really has been a team effort." ... read full article and view video of this amazing stunt.
