I can't imagine that there are too many people around who have flown through a mountain, but U.S. [ BASE] jumper [ Jeb Corliss] can add that to his resume after recently soaring through a peak in China.


Wearing a wingsuit, a parachute, and [ GoPro Hero] cameras strapped to his body, Corliss managed to fly through a hole in Tianmen mountain, Hunan Province.



The famous Tianmen Hole in the limestone peak is about 360 feet tall, 96 feet wide, and 260 feet deep.



Corliss dropped out of a helicopter at 6,000 feet and glided toward the cave like a flying squirrel. A GPS display in his helmet goggles kept him on a precise course for his flight, which was about two-thirds of a mile.



As seen in the video below, he shot right through the cave like a bat out of hell, kynghidongduong.vn then deployed his parachute on the other side for tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn a safe landing on a bridge.







The event drew intense media coverage in China, as did a [ 1999 stunt] during which light aircraft were flown through the peak.



[/news/cloud-hovering-in-a-superhero-suit/ Wingsuits] have helped provide some of the [ sickest extreme sport video] around, especially when jumpers are just 10 feet away from a face-first encounter with a cliff.



I'm still waiting for them to figure out how to land without a parachute.
