Guy makes 2500 foot jump without a parachute

A stuntman makes a 2500 foot jump from a helicopter without a parachute, using only a 'flying suit', and lands safely in a 'box rig'.

*the link has a bit of a typo and states he's jumping from 24000 feet

There are three parachuting stunts that show huge courage. The first was when a skydiver exited the aircraft without a parachute, linked up in free fall with someone who was carrying a spare, put it on and deployed his main. The second was the skydiver who exited the aircraft, which then went into a dive and the skydiver re-entered it in free fall. The third was this. I cant decide which took the biggest balls, and all are ground breaking in their own way.

What often happens on Forums is when you go back and edit a post containing a URL or Link, they often get truncated.
