Who really needs a parachute after falling from a half mile up in
the
sky? Certainly not Gary Connery.
The 42-year-old became the first skydiver to successfully land without a
parachute, after his recent flight from 2,400 feet over Oxfordshire, England. All
he had to cushion his fall was a specially-designed "wing suit" and 18,600 stacked
cardboard boxes.
The entire flight took less than a minute, before he approached his makeshift
runway. Connery's strategy of "flaring up" just a few instants before he hit the
ground worked perfectly, he told the
Telegraph, thanks to ideal weather conditions and his parachuting experience.
