    Skydiver Aims To Land Without Parachute

    A stuntman will attempt to make aviation history later by becoming the first skydiver in the world to land without the use of a parachute.

    Gary Connery, 42, from Oxfordshire, will leap from a helicopter a mile above Henley then glide towards a field using a specially adapted wing suit which will allow him to fly. Moments before reaching the ground he will "flare" his suit to slow his descent to land safely on a "runway" of 18,000 cardboard boxes. To prepare for the jump he has undergone weeks of intensive training in Switzerland and Italy, leaping from mountains and cliffs to perfect his wing suit glide angle....Watch video here

        I liked the fact, that the reporter says 'His Army of fans assembled the Boxes, 'as the Camera Pans', 'Wooden - Pallets' are also in view, - Flat packed boxes wont that hurt more on landing, rather than assembled boxes? otherwise it'll be like hitting a brick. Mind you he is a Stuntman

        Awesome clip of jumping off in the Alps and gliding through the mountains
