Human glider flies through hole in the side of mountain

American wingsuit flier Jeb Corliss soared through a hole in Tianmen mountain near Zhangjiajie, Hunan province central China.



35-year-old Corliss jumped from a helicopter 6,000 feet above the Tianmen mountain, flying towards it and sailed right through it.

"That was one of the greatest wingsuit flights of my entire life. Thank you China, that was amazing," said Corliss after he landed safely on a bridge. The wingsuit flier failed at his first attempt, due to smoke brackets on his feet that did not work properly and forced him to take a detour.

He has become the first wingsuit stuntman to fly in China. The thrill seeking Californian had previously jumped from 5,000 foot mountain wearing wings in China, flown through a waterfall in the Swiss Alps and jumped from the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
